Evil Dead Burn opened in U.S. theaters on July 10, 2026, marking the sixth mainline installment in the long-running Evil Dead franchise and the third standalone entry following Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise (2023). Directed by Sébastien Vaniček and produced by franchise veterans Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, the film stars Souheila Yacoub as a woman who, after losing her husband, seeks comfort with her in-laws at their secluded family home — only for the reunion to turn into a bloody nightmare as family members are possessed one by one. Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, George Pullar, Errol Shand, and Maude Davey round out the cast.
Beyond its gruesome practical effects and franchise pedigree, Evil Dead Burn carries a distinctive original score that leans into industrial dread rather than jump-scare stingers. Here’s a full, sourced breakdown of the composers, the official soundtrack album, and the licensed music woven into the film.

Evil Dead Burn Soundtrack Overview
The official Evil Dead Burn score was released digitally by WaterTower Music on July 3, 2026, a week ahead of the film’s theatrical debut, composed by the Paris-based duo Double Danger — Douglas Cavanna and Xavier Caux. A deluxe 2xLP vinyl edition followed through Waxwork Records, pressed on “Inferno-colored” translucent black vinyl with orange splatter, packaged with new artwork by Steve Reeves.
Describing their approach, Double Danger said the house at the center of the film functioned as “an instrument, a character, and a living nightmare,” and that they aimed to create a score that “doesn’t accompany the horror, but infects it” rather than simply echoing the franchise’s musical legacy. The 33-track album is almost entirely score, closing with “Paradis,” a two-part collaboration with French singer Chilla that functions as the album’s sole vocal song.
Who Composed the Evil Dead Burn Soundtrack?
Double Danger (Douglas Cavanna & Xavier Caux)
Double Danger is a composing and production duo based in Paris, formed in 2023 by self-taught musicians Douglas Cavanna and Xavier Caux with the stated goal of moving past conventional, academic approaches to film scoring. Their breakout project was the score for Vermines (released internationally as Infested), a French horror film that closed the Settimana della Critica sidebar at the Venice Film Festival and won prizes at multiple festivals, including Sitges, Austin Fantastic Fest, and Imagine Film Festival. Vermines also marked their first collaboration with director Sébastien Vaniček, making Evil Dead Burn their second joint project with him.
Beyond film scoring, the duo’s catalog includes the soundtrack for Dans L’ombre, the animated series Gustave, and commercial work for brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Puma, Givenchy, and Crocs. Individually, Douglas Cavanna is also credited on IMDb for work on Crocs (2018) and Gustave (2023).
Note: Available sources credit the score to Double Danger as a duo without a confirmed individual track-by-track split between Cavanna and Caux.

Total runtime: 72:19 (independently verified by summing all 33 per-track durations).
Source note: FMDB lists the release’s total runtime as 72:01, and Apple Music rounds it to “1 hour 12 minutes.” The 18-second gap between our sum and FMDB’s stated total likely reflects minor rounding differences in one or more individual track times across sources; both figures are reported here rather than silently reconciled.
Score Highlights
The following interpretations are analytical, not confirmed by Double Danger or WaterTower Music. They are based on track titles read against the film’s known plot points, using hedged language throughout.
- “The Book of the Dead” — A direct nod to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, the cursed book that has driven the possession plot of every Evil Dead film since the original 1981 entry; this cue likely scores its discovery or reading aloud.
- “Alice” — At just 0:47, this brief cue is likely a character theme for the film’s protagonist, whose name is confirmed as Alice per scene descriptions from soundtrack databases.
- “Goodbye to My Son” and “We Got Married Here” — These titles suggest flashback or memory-driven cues tied to Alice’s grief over her late husband, consistent with the film’s setup.
- “To Your Perfect Family,” “Without Your Family, You’re Nothing,” and “Without Me, You’re Nothing” — Likely recurring thematic material tied to the “family reunion from hell” concept, possibly scoring dialogue delivered by possessed family members as the Deadites turn the household against itself.
- “You’ll All Die Tonight” and “F*ck Your Family” — Given their bluntness, these are likely Deadite taunt or threat cues, in keeping with the franchise’s tradition of profane, mocking possessed dialogue.
- “Paradis” — The album’s only vocal song, a two-part closing collaboration with French singer Chilla, likely functioning as an end-credits piece rather than an in-scene cue.
Evil Dead Burn Licensed Songs (Needle Drops)
Unlike the wall-to-wall score of the OST, only two pre-existing licensed songs have been verified with confirmed in-film placement, both French vintage recordings:
- “La chanson des vieux amants” by Jacques Brel — Plays at the crematorium as William’s wedding song, and recurs later in the film (around the 1:35:00 mark) as a possessed William walks toward Alice.
- “Elle était si jolie” by Alain Barrière — Plays around the 1:30:45 mark, during the scene where Alice sets the Price family house on fire.
These two songs, combined with the 33 score tracks, account for the 35 total soundtrack entries tracked by WhatSong for this film. No other licensed needle drops have been independently confirmed at this time.
Trailer music has not been separately verified and is not included in this list.
