DESCRIPTION

Elliot Goldenthal’s score for Pet Sematary marks the composer’s first Hollywood film score, bringing an experimental and unsettling edge to Mary Lambert’s 1989 horror classic. Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel, the film follows the Creed family after they move to a rural Maine home where an ancient burial ground holds a terrifying secret.

The score combines a small orchestral ensemble, electronics, and the haunting wordless vocals of a boys’ choir. This unusual palette gives Pet Sematary an eerie, almost ritualistic quality, perfectly complementing the film’s themes of death, grief, and resurrection.

Among the score’s most intense moments is “The Return Game II (Louis and Gage),” a relentlessly unnerving cue that pushes the suspense of the classic Psycho shower scene into even more extreme territory. Throughout the soundtrack, Goldenthal’s music builds tension through dissonance, unsettling textures, and sudden shifts in mood.

Originally released in 1989, Pet Sematary remains an important early entry in Goldenthal’s filmography and a fascinating snapshot of a composer already developing the bold musical language that would later earn him an Academy Award for his score to Frida. This classic horror soundtrack is now pressed on striking neon green vinyl with an orange swirl “Dead Catseye” design, inspired by the reanimated feline who plays a pivotal role in the story.

Common Questions

What does 'pre-order' mean?

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

I ordered a pre-order and an in-stock item. When will they ship?

If you place an order containing both pre-order and in-stock items, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any pre-ordered items. If you prefer not to wait, please place separate orders.

Pre-order items have an (expected) release date noted on the product page. We typically ship these items several days before their release date to ensure that you receive the record on—or as close as possible to—the release date.
