From Godzilla's blaring brass to Chucky's spine-tingling toy pianos, screen monsters of all sizes are made even more terrifying with a memorable musical score. Hear from composer Bear McCreary (whose genre credits include Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Child's Play [2019], The Walking Dead, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Colossal, and God of War) in a unique scene study as he breaks apart the elements that make an effective monster score. McCreary will discuss the importance of themes and how he chooses unusual instrumentation, from Buddhist monk choirs to children's toys, in creating a monster's musical voice.
