Ryan Shore’s large, gothic orchestral horror score for Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer pays tribute to the genre classics by Hans J. Salter, Herman Stein, Frank Skinner, James Bernard and Bernard Herrmann.

Recorded with the 93-piece Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, the score is epic, entertaining and exciting. “We all wanted an epic sound for this origin of a superhero, with a palette of intense energy, thematic motifs, dark brooding moments, playful tones, and powerful pounding action,” the composer explains.
