Harry Manfredini – Friday The 13th (Official Soundtrack) - Vinyl LP Record

The Friday the 13th official soundtrack, composed by Harry Manfredini, is one of the most iconic and influential horror scores ever created. First heard in the 1980 slasher classic, the music helped define the sound of cinematic terror for decades to come. Manfredini’s score is known for its suspenseful string stabs, eerie atmospheres, and inventive use of whispering vocal effects—most famously the chilling “ki-ki-ki, ma-ma-ma” motif that has become synonymous with the franchise.

The soundtrack blends orchestral tension with unsettling rhythms and sharp crescendos, creating a sense of dread that mirrors the film’s stalking, lurking horror. Much of the music alternates between quiet, simmering unease and sudden bursts of intensity, capturing the unpredictable menace that made the original film so enduring.
