Pipes Redux: Composer to score Trick r’ Treat
By: Randall LarsonDate: Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Douglas Pipes, who got his big break last year with the entertaining score for the animated feature, Monster House, has been hired to score his second major feature: Trick r’ Treat, a new horror film directed by Michael Dougherty, a screenwriter whose credits include X2 and Superman Returns.
Trick ‘r Treat, which will be released by Warner Bros. on October 5, tells four stories taking place on Halloween and stars Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, and Leslie Bibb.
Set in a small suburban town, Trick 'r Treat explores Halloween traditions of the past and present while following a group of people trying to survive the most terrifying night of the year. From a serial killer who specializes in poisoning candy; to a group of mischievous kids who unearth their town's dark secret; to a young woman hunted by a masked stalker at the local festival; and a cantankerous old hermit dealing with a demonic trick-or-treater, the film is filled with horrifying twists, turns, dark humor, and strange creatures of every variety – human or otherwise.
Composer Pipes received several award nominations for his Monster House score, among them “Discovery of the Year” at the World Soundtrack Awards. For an interview with Pipes on his Monster House music, see: www.soundtrack.net/features
