The Newton Brothers on Scoring Horror: Emotion, Silence & Storytelling With Sound - Spitfire Audio

In this deep dive, The Newton Brothers break down the fundamentals of writing music for film, with a focus on horror. From shaping the arc of a story to knowing exactly when to pull back, they explore how sound becomes a driving force in elevating emotion, suspense, and tension. They discuss the importance of production in horror scoring where silence can be more powerful than sound, and where every choice, from a subtle texture to a jarring jump scare, has to serve the story. Performance matters too. Vulnerability in how instruments are played creates real, human fear and that’s where the magic happens. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Scoring Horror: Story, Tension & Silence 01:19 Knowing When to Pull Back 02:32 Silence, Production, and Restraint 04:04 Avoiding Clichés and Taking Creative Risks 06:01 Midnight Mass & Dr. Sleep: Scary but Rewarding 07:32 Jump Scares, Frequency, and Emotional Texture 09:11 Organic Sounds & Blending for Emotion 11:59 Scoring IPs: X-Men, Daredevil & Fan Expectations 14:18 Innovation Within Familiar Worlds 16:01 Honoring Legacy While Evolving the Sound 18:52 Animation vs. Live Action: Scoring Challenges
