Alexander Taylor

Composer Alexander Taylor has signed with Different Direction Management for representation.

Taylor’s recent score to the Award-winning documentary  SCREAM QUEEN: MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (streaming exclusively on Shudder) has been getting praise from all over the world. “A superb score by Alexander Taylor helps to capture the optimism of the overarching message - while leaving the audience ready to start dancing in their favorite 80’s shades,” says Samantha McLaren from Scream Horror Magazine. You can find the original score on vinyl at 1984 Publishing. He scored Paramount Plus’s film UNKNOWN DIMENSION. Later this year (2022) he will be scoring the sequel to the cult 80’s film, THE MUTILATOR with the original director returning.

His work can be heard in the Thomas Jane helmed werewolf film, HUNTER’S MOON, released by Lionsgate. “HUNTER’S MOON is a splash of Tom Waits, a pinch of Marco Beltrami, and a healthy scoop of insanity seamlessly blended together into Alexander Taylor’s organic and quirky thriller score,” writes Greg Richling (Head of Production at Pfonetic/bassist for The Wallflowers). The soundtrack is being released through Air-Edel records. His haunting score from DREAMCATCHER was released by famed studio Samuel Goldwyn.

The crime-thriller ARKANSAS, starring Vince Vaughn, John Malkovich, and Liam Hemsworth also had music by Taylor. The film also features original music by Devendra Banhart and The Flaming Lips. 

Taylor crafted an intense score to the thriller, DEAD OF NIGHT, which stars Lance Henriksen and Matthew Lawrence.

With several more horror films in post-production right now, as well as having scored series for Jason Blum & Eli Roth’s Crypt Tv, Taylor has become one of the go-to composers in the horror genre.
