Bernstein utilized synthesizers, electric guitar, strings, and a strong kinetic energy, bringing fast tempos and pulse pounding beats to the forefront.  Whereas most horror soundtracks relied upon a familiar slow string arrangement and buildup, <em>A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> pushed the envelope by having every piece be in-your-face.  Each piece here has a layering process, always adding new instruments or effects to change up the tone it started out with.  The prologue is perhaps one of the most recognizable themes in horror films, with its simple piano arrangement and eerie presence. Other standout tracks include \u201cTerror in the Tub\u201d, \u201cFountain of Blood\u201d, \u201cSchool Horror\/Stay Awake\u201d, and \u201cDream Attack\u201d.  Though these standouts are excellent, they by no means minimize the powerful attributes of the other pieces.  Beyond a doubt, the score for <em>A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> is an absorbing and rewarding experience for the listener.        <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>The Bad<\/strong>:  Not much.  Some listeners might feel the soundtrack is too rushed, always pushing onward and not leaving much for those interested in a slow or spooky pace.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Final Comments<\/strong>:  A true horror classic, the soundtrack for <em>A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/em> effectively balances a dreamy quality with hard hitting energy, providing an engaging and enjoyable listening experience.<br \/>\n<strong>Grade<\/strong>:  A<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Nightmare on Elm Street Composed by Charles Bernstein Released: 2005 Label: Varese Sarabande This release is the musical score to Wes Craven\u2019s 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street, starring Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Johnny Depp, and Robert Englund.
