Unlike his frequently bombastic contributions to the Forever Knight soundtracks, Fred Mollin's work on the late-1980s Friday the 13th series generated suspense and drama through more understated themes, which was only natural given that show's moody style. All of the music here (with the exception of some saxophone and electric guitar) was created on the Kurzweil K250, allowing the composer to sample a wide range of orchestral instruments. Instead of trying to mask the synthetic qualities of the music, he cleverly picks specific timbres for the instrumentation--from jarring brass to flittering harp to forlorn violin--which are undeniably linked to the series itself. While there are plenty of dissonant, heart-pounding moments on this CD, there are also many moods, from hope ("Wedding in Black") to playfulness (the carnival motif within "The Playhouse") and even a lament ("Death of Micki"). While the CD at first seems frightfully low-key, successive plays reveal its virtues.
