Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hopefully this is at least decent. All of Elfman's other scores this year were so mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Mediocre is a rather strong word isn't it?. While they may not add much to his career, both Frankenweenie and Dark Shadows were somewhat enjoyable and entertaining scores (the former being more well-rounded).

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I found them both incredibly boring. Elfman usually has a decent theme, at the very least. Didn't hear anything of the sort in those scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 604 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Elfman said "the emotional side" of Hitchcock's story attracted him to Gervasi's picture. He had no intention of mimicking Herrmann, lest it sound like parody. As he rightly pointed out, John Williams' "Jaws" theme and Herrmann's "Psycho" shower scene music are perhaps the two most recognized bits of instrumental sound from any two movies ever.Link.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I enjoyed Frankwenweenie's score during the film, even though I too cannot identify a clear theme, or at least, it's not as immediately iconic or hummable out of the cinema like Batman or Pee-Wee or Spider-Man.

filmmusic 1,823 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just listened to the samples presented here:http://www.foxsearchlight.com/fyc/film/hitchcock/soundtrack/index.htmlNothing new or original, but surely very well crafted and it's good music!My objection to Elfman's music is that usually his film scores haven't got a specific character for the movie.E.g. these samples here could easily fit in a Batman movie, or in Corpse Bride, or in any other Tim Burton film.Of course, I assume, this is what they asked of him..That's why I love so much Sommersby. It's completely different. It doesn't remind of Elfman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonzoe 18 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I enjoyed Frankwenweenie's score during the film, even though I too cannot identify a clear theme, or at least, it's not as immediately iconic or hummable out of the cinema like Batman or Pee-Wee or Spider-Man.Frankenweenie had three clear themes/motifs. A playful and friendly theme for Sparky and a somber theme for Victor (very Scissorhands-esque), which is basically his emotional theme. Both themes/motifs can be heard in the "main title" and throughout the album. The third theme/motif is the one some claim sounds like his Batman theme. It's a basically the theme for bringing back the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Elfman has various faces to his career. Sure there are scores like Frankenweenie that suffer from what you speak of (probably because he's asked for that sound), but he's infused a distinct personality for many of his works. The Wolfman is different from Alice in Wonderland. Sleepy Hollow is different from Edward Scissorhands. Spiderman is different from Batman. And so on.

One of the themes to the score was nearly a note for note re do from Edward Scissorhands. Maybe I was imagining things. Hopefully elfman isn't becoming James Horner now IN other news, LOL, I'm looking forward to the score for Hitchcock. Given Elfman's interest in Herrmann's score ( not to mention obvious inspiration of his Psycho score in RED DRAGON ), he's a natural fit. Not that he'd emulate Herrmann but writing a score involving Hitch and Herrmann at their creative brilliance just seems like the ideal project for him. Just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,323 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Wow, I feel like I've discussed this score on this board a lot! I think it's a great score, one of Elfman's best in a while. The CD is really short, which is actually good for this score. It explores a bunch of ideas and emotions, then is over before you realize it. But it's fun, inspired music!
