For example, the cue “Girl with No Eyes” utilizes a few lines of Elm Street’s “One, Two, Freddy’s Coming for You” nursery rhyme, and “Jason’s Surprise Attack” and “Jason’s First Dream” feature flourishes of Manfredini’s “Ki Ki Ki, Ma Ma Ma. His musical nods to earlier films are brief but effective. Revell rose to the challenge with a score that manages to feel familiar without ever relying on the work of previous composers to do the heavy lifting. So, taking on a project combining two of the film industry’s longest-running franchises with such rich musical histories was no easy feat.
Likewise, upon the release of the first Friday the 13th film in 1980, Harry Manfredini’s hallmark “Ki Ki Ki, Ma Ma Ma” vocal motif quickly made his score one of the most recognizable in all of horror, if not cinema in general.

The Elm Street series had featured scores by such prominent composers as Christopher Young, Angelo Badalamenti, Craig Safan and Brian May, and Charles Bernstein’s themes for the original 1984 film had, by 2003, become iconic amongst the franchise’s fans. Jason, Graeme Revell had big shoes to fill. He was a pioneer of “Industrial Music” with his band SPK, a composer of music made entirely of digitally manipulated insect sounds, and an interpreter of the pictorial musical compositions of the artist and Swiss mental asylum inmate, Adolf Wölfi. Revell is a New Zealand-born child of the 1960s whose fascination with sound led to an unconventional music career throughout the 1980s. So to give his latest horror-heavyweight bout a distinct musical identity, he turned to veteran Chucky composer Graeme Revell. Directing this long-anticipated monster mashup was Ronny Yu, a Hong Kong action director, who had recently found success resurrecting another 80’s horror icon with 1998’s Bride of Chucky. Jason hit theaters in 2003-60 years after the release of cinema’s first monumental monster team-up, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943).
