Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Soundtrack
“Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan” is a 1989 slasher film written and directed by Rob Hedden. It follows Jason as he stalks a group of high school graduates on a ship en-route to New York City.
But what’s a horror movie without its spine-chilling music?
The “Friday the 13th” series, as fans would know, has been majorly graced by the musical talents of Harry Manfredini. However, when it came to “The New Blood” and “Jason Takes Manhattan,” the reins were handed over to Fred Mollin.
Fred Mollin is an American and Canadian record producer, musician, film and TV composer, music director and songwriter. He has produced records for Jimmy Webb, Johnny Mathis, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lamont Dozier and America, and has composed music for Beverly Hills 90210, Forever Knight, Hard Copy, and Friday the 13th.
Mollin’s compositions for “Jason Takes Manhattan” are a blend of the traditional “Friday the 13th” eeriness and the pulsating vibes of New York.
