Drag Me To Hell

Christopher Young’s rich Gothic soundtrack to Sam Raimi’s Frightfest

The soundtrack for Drag Me To Hell was composed by Christopher Young, who worked with director Sam Raimi previously on his films The Gift and Spider-Man 3. Sam Raimi stated that emphasis was on using the soundtrack to create a world that didn’t exist, a world of the "supernatural."

This is Christopher Young’s third release on the Silva Screen label. Previous releases include Hellraiser and the collection Hellraiser Chronicles (featuring Young’s Hellbound: Hellraiser II).

“Incorporating old-school puppetry and prosthetic makeup combined with judiciously used CGI, along with a colourful cast and composer Christopher Young’s unnerving symphonic blasts, Raimi’s raucous trip to hell proves anything but a drag” - Hollywood Reporter

“Richly scored by composer Christopher Young, who comes up with some ripping solo Gypsy-violin lines” - Chicago Tribune

“Drag Me To Hell is the best pure horror score I have heard in probably a decade…” - Movie Music UK

“Powerful, Gothic Masterpiece by Christopher Young” - Classical Music Suite101

“highly recommended” - Film Music: The Neglected Art

“…one of the best scores I have listened to in awhile” - Blog Critics

Howard Shore’s soundtrack to Martin Campbell’s remake of 1985 BAFTA Award-winning BBC mini-series

This release continues Christopher Young’s collaboration with director Jon Amiel, previous films including Copycat, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Entrapment and The Core.
