Who Composed Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead Soundtrack?
Jonathan Scott Friedman composed the original score for the 2024 Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. Friedman is a longtime friend and collaborator of director Wade Allain-Marcus, and he built the score around big, orchestral “classic Hollywood” cues for the kids’ scenes contrasted with jazzier, percussion-driven music for the adult world. Near the end of the film, he also sampled a cue from David Newman’s score for the original 1991 movie as a nostalgic callback, reworked into a hip-hop beat for the end credits.
Correction: an earlier version of this article credited “Michael K. Bauer” and “Michael Stern” as composers for this film, attributing them credits from Avatar (2009) and Warcraft (2016). Those are the real-world credits of other composers (James Horner and Ramin Djawadi, respectively) and were not accurate for this film. The verified composer is Jonathan Scott Friedman.
