Music plays a key role in films and TV shows as the choice of songs or the use of cinematic score can help to add just the right feeling to each scene.
In the case of the Halloween movies, the horror franchise has become iconic with the help of its chilling theme while it has also seen the use of some toe-tapping songs and plenty of eerie original music over the years.
But which songs feature in the soundtrack of the newly released Halloween Ends and who composed the movie’s spooky score?
