For a meta-slasher series, it makes a lot of sense in using covers of well-known classics.

And for the most part, the Scream movies could always be relied upon to boost a fantastic soundtrack.

In an article by James Wallace, he wrote about the first film’s sweet sounds, saying “Coming out of the '80s into the mid-'90s, you couldn't have a movie targeting teens without a soundtrack full of bangers-a cinematic mixtape made up of chart-topping rock stars and emerging artists alike.” For the next two sequels, alongside Beltrami’s original compositions, there would be 90’s nostalgia, Alternative Rock, and Hip-Hop. Magazine and website Fangoria, dedicated to everything horror, took a deep dive into the music of Scream and all its gory glory. And it would certainly help with CD sales. If a slasher flick was going to be made, at a time when the horror genre was believed to be well past its port-mortem, great music would be a major factor in grabbing the attention of young audiences. “Trouble in Woodsboro” and “Sidney’s Lament” are iconic, but the Scream movies had some additional support. Film composer Marco Beltrami and late director Wes Craven teamed up for the first four films of the Scream franchise and their loud and brash collaboration gave fans a pulse-pounding score.
