Child’s Play: (2019) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack VINYL

The 2019 Child's Play reboot gave Chucky a technological anxiety makeover and handed the score to Bear McCreary, which turned out to be a genuinely unsettling combination.

McCreary, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning composer behind The Walking Dead and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, brought his orchestral instincts to a film about a smart home device with a grudge and no ethical constraints. The result is a score that plays less like slasher nostalgia and more like something with genuine dread underneath it, fitting for a Chucky who's less supernatural curse and more algorithmic nightmare. It's a sharp piece of horror composition that rewards the kind of listener who pays attention to what's happening between the kills.

Standard vinyl pressing. Special deluxe presentation. Composer: Bear McCreary. Fans of: horror soundtracks, dark alternative, industrial film scores, and anyone who still doesn't fully trust their smart speaker.
