How Franz Waxman Created the First Horror Film Score (Bride of Frankenstein, 1935)
Discover the terrifyingly beautiful chord that defined horror film music. In this episode of Keith Horn’s Chord of the Week, we dive into Franz Waxman’s legendary 1935 score for Bride of Frankenstein — a soundtrack so influential it shaped the entire sound of horror for decades to come. Learn how Waxman’s “creation” scene uses rhythm, orchestration, and a symmetrical whole-tone chord to bring the monster’s bride (and film scoring itself) to life. We’ll also explore its Debussy-inspired harmony, its orchestral brilliance, and its connection to Weird Science fifty years later. 📽️ From Hollywood’s golden age to modern film scoring, it all starts here. #BrideOfFrankenstein #FranzWaxman #FilmScore #HorrorMusic #MovieMusic #KeithHorn #ChordOfTheWeek #ClassicHollywood #MusicTheory #FilmComposer
