Music Supervisor Ed Gerrard Reflects on His Career, Scream, and More in Our Interview

Without music, TV and movies would not be the same. Scores and songs affect everything from viewers’ emotions, add nostalgia, and set the scene. Scream, one of the most beloved horror films ever made, still holds influence, even after nearly three decades. Thanks to Grammy and Peabody award-winning Music Supervisor Ed Gerrard, its soundtrack still evokes chills. After serving as Alice Cooper’s manager in the 80s, Gerrard turned to the film industry.
