It’s fitting that Jason Voorhees film with the biggest sense of fun would be the one to get its own theme song Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.

“He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” – Alice Cooper And everything to ensure it won’t leave your head for at least a week after listening. With lyrics that directly reference the plot, like “ Follow Victor to the sacred place,” the Ramones gave you everything you need to know about the movie’s plot. The Ramones “Pet Sematary” was written in an hour’s time by bassist Dee Dee Ramone, and it became one of the band’s biggest radio hits. I think we can definitively count on one thing this updated adaptation will be lacking a catchy ear worm theme song by the Ramones. With filming underway on the remake of Pet Sematary, and the casting now in place for the final members of the Creed family, speculation on what directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer vision will be have begun. In commemoration of this lost art, here are some of the most memorable horror movie theme songs. Essentially, the original movie theme song has long become a lost art form. More so, it’s likely just not lucrative or feasible to pull in well-known musicians as it once was in the prime of the movie theme song. Nostalgic for sure, but you don’t really associate upbeat tunes with really serious movies. There’s also a certain level of cheese associated with a song that essentially spells out the plot of the movie. The movie theme song waned in popularity, and as much as I’d like to blame Will Smith (I’m looking at you, Wild Wild West), it had much more to do with the passage of time and ever-evolving music and industry. Who doesn’t think of Ghostbusters and instantly start humming Ray Parker Jr.’s iconic “Ghostbusters”? The movie theme song in the 80s and ‘90s was a catchy rock or pop anthem with lyrics that often summed up the plot of the movie. While most film soundtracks nowadays tend to favor timeless instrumental scores, there was a period in the ‘80s-‘90s where soundtracks featured songs written specifically for the film, and often became huge smash hits that would rival the successes of the movies themselves. Chances are that if you have listened to Marilyn Manson’s latest release, a cover of Gerard McMahon’s “Cry Little Sister,” you instantly thought of The Lost Boys.
