Songs that feel like Scream (1996)

A knowing, self-aware teen slasher where dread and wry humor share a house party, and every ringing phone could be the killer.

1. Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: The menacing slow-burn theme of the film's own soundtrack, and the sound of a killer closing in.
2. (Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult: The classic slasher-era song of death, and it carries the same spooky, knowing nod to Halloween.
3. Come Undone by Duran Duran: Sleek, haunted mid-90s pop with a paranoid undercurrent.
4. Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: A murder ballad with a romantic surface and a lethal turn, much like the film's friendly-faced killers.
5. Tainted Love by Soft Cell: A sleazy, sinister dance-floor pulse that fits a house party where someone isn't what they seem.
6. Creep by Radiohead: The anthem of 90s outsider unease and obsession.
7. Closer by Nine Inch Nails: Dark, pulsing and dangerous, it carries the era's transgressive edge.
8. Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival: Cheerful on the surface but warning of doom, like a small town about to turn deadly.
9. Cities In Dust by Siouxsie and The Banshees: Gothic, theatrical and ominous, in the film's world of dread behind a bright façade.
10. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics: Cold, hypnotic and suspicious, for late-night paranoia and the idea that everyone has a motive.
