PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, The

This 1991 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was composed and conducted for Wes Craven's by Don Peake (46 minutes, 38Q's).

This soundtrack was originally released in 1991 on Bay City, but much of composer Don Peake's score was missing. This package includes all and only Don's original score.


This film score was commissioned by my friend Wes Craven in 1991. Wes called me and said that he was mixing the film at Universal, and that he needed me to come in right away. He showed me the film and said that he wanted the music to be exciting and to have a lot of movement for the chases.

Included on this CD for the very first time are the actual musical sketches that I first submitted to Wes when we started the project.

Please enjoy this music.
