Insidious: Out of the Further hit theaters on August 21, 2026, marking the sixth installment in the long-running Blumhouse horror franchise. Directed by Jacob Chase, the film stars Amelia Eve as Gemma, a young mother who discovers she can travel into The Further, alongside Brandon Perea, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Sam Spruell, Island Austin, and franchise veteran Lin Shaye, reprising her role as Elise Rainier. Produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan, and Leigh Whannell, the sequel follows Insidious: The Red Door (2023) as the latest chapter built around The Further’s demonic mythology.
As with every entry in this series, the score plays a defining role in setting its tone — and this installment brings back the composer who has scored the franchise since its 2010 debut.

Insidious: Out of the Further Soundtrack Overview
UPDATE: Contrary to the franchise’s usual pattern of delayed album releases, the official soundtrack for Insidious: Out of the Further arrived quickly — Milan Records released the 29-track Insidious: Out of the Further (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) digitally on August 21, 2026, the same day the film opened in theaters, confirmed by Film Music Reporter’s official album-details post. That’s a departure from prior entries: the original 2010 Insidious score wasn’t issued until six months post-release, and the score for Insidious: The Last Key (2018) didn’t see an official release until 2023, five years later, through Madison Gate Records.
What is confirmed is the composer. Joseph Bishara, the franchise’s longtime musical architect, returns to score the film — a fact confirmed through Film Music Reporter’s scoring-assignment coverage published in April 2026, ahead of the film’s release.
Who Composed the Insidious: Out of the Further Soundtrack?
Joseph Bishara is the confirmed composer for Insidious: Out of the Further, marking his sixth consecutive score for the main Insidious series — he has scored every installment since the original 2010 film. Bishara is a defining voice in modern horror scoring, best known for pairing dissonant strings with sparse, unsettling silence to build dread.
Beyond Insidious, Bishara has scored the majority of the interconnected Blumhouse/New Line horror slate, including The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, The Curse of La Llorona, Malignant, Dark Skies, Tarot, and The Unholy. He most recently scored the 2026 SXSW horror release Hokum, directed by Damian McCarthy.
Bishara’s musical background began outside film entirely — he was a guitarist and keyboardist in the Los Angeles industrial music scene before moving into soundtrack work, with early credits including Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars. He also holds an unusual dual role in the Insidious franchise as a creature performer, having portrayed the demonic entity known as the Lipstick-Face Demon in earlier films. His debut score for the original Insidious earned him the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Score.

Score Highlights
Critics reviewing the film on its opening weekend described the score’s function within key setpieces — including a claustrophobic crawlspace sequence and a large ensemble “gathering” of previous Further entities — as effective in maintaining the film’s atmosphere. Now that the official tracklist is confirmed, several cue titles map onto those same beats: “pillow fort” and “who are they” both point to the film’s early domestic-horror stretch, while “enter our World,” “World returned,” and “World reprise” suggest the score builds toward the climactic crossover between the Further and the real world referenced in the film’s marketing. The lowercase, lyric-fragment style of the track titles (e.g., “grown sufficient,” “had this gift,” “Worlds Bleed together”) is consistent with Bishara’s naming conventions on earlier Insidious and Conjuring-universe scores.
Insidious: Out of the Further Licensed Songs / Needle Drops
Status: Pending. No confirmed licensed songs or needle drops have surfaced through SeekerTune, Tunefind, WhatSong, or NME as of this writing. Prior entries in the series have occasionally featured a licensed needle drop (for example, a cover of Shakespears Sister’s “Stay” in Insidious: The Red Door‘s closing credits), so this section will be updated if any confirmed placements emerge from official sources.
