Just a day ahead of the theatrical debut ofScream VIfrom Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group, Collider is excited to exclusively premiere the “Scream VI Suite,”, the first track from the film’s original score composed by the award-winningBrian TylerandSven Faulconer. The track will be available as part of the film’s official soundtrack, which will be released by Paramount Music the same day the film makes its way to theaters on June 24, 2025.
The new 6-minute and 15-second piece combines somber and haunting strings along with hints of soft percussion and piano that start slow and builds until it becomes loud and frantic before returning to its slow introduction, this time adding voices and other sounds to build back towards a frenetic section. The progression of the song is very similar to the construction of a slasher film as the start of the film slowly builds tension until the first kill, at which point the film becomes loud and violent, before returning to that building dread but this time with a much more horrifying undertone since the audience has now seen a kill and know more are to come. Along with the release of the new track, Tyler also provided Collider with a statement about the score of the film, saying:
Continuing to score this incredible, storied franchise has been such an amazing experience. I wanted to really reflect the epic nature of this ‘Scream’ by pushing the envelope of both intensity and real emotion. I could not be more proud to be scoring my third film with these filmmakers and my second of this incredible franchise. I also collaborated with Sven Faulconerwho was a fantastic creative partner. I can’t wait for the audiences to pack the seats in the theaters and feel the thrill of this movie!
