Colin Stetson composed the 2022 score. The soundtrack announcement and his Ninja Tune conversation provide starting points for exploring the music as a work in its own right.
An archive reading: an older Leatherface, a returning Sally, and a new town create a different listening context from the original family house. The score participates in a film that remembers earlier images while staging larger, more public attacks.
Stetson’s wider soundtrack work can be useful context, but an interview about another film should not automatically be cited as evidence for this one. The linked sources are selected for explicit discussion or documentation of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Ninja Tune’s Halloween podcast discusses Stetson’s work on Hereditary and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A composer-centered source for the soundtrack research trail.
