Who Composed the Stranger in the Woods Soundtrack?
The score for Stranger in the Woods was composed by Danny Webber, a Los Angeles-based musician and actor. Webber joined the San Francisco sketch comedy group Killing My Lobster in 2010 and performed in sketch shows and short films with them for three years before relocating to LA. He’s also a founding member of the band Fade Up Fade Out Bye Bye, formed in 2012 with the film’s producer Kyle Newacheck and friends. Webber’s score for Stranger in the Woods won a Best Music/Score award on the festival circuit in 2023, ahead of the film’s wider release.
Being straightforward here: we could not find a released soundtrack album or song-by-song tracklist for this film. Stranger in the Woods is driven by Webber’s original score rather than a licensed pop soundtrack, and no separate soundtrack release has surfaced on Spotify or Apple Music. If that changes, we’ll update this page rather than guess at a tracklist.
