‘Friday the 13th’ (2009) – 5 Essential Soundtrack Cuts

‘Freak Ya Loneliness,’ a distortion-laced, gritty guitar rocker from Aussie brother-and-sister team the Bumblebeez, is the first sample of what happens when the producers of a horror movie remake decide to put a glorious tune on their soundtrack.

The hottest thing out of Sweden that doesn’t have blonde hair and blue eyes and won't keep you warm at night, the Hives bring it with the massive track 'Tick Tick Boom.’ It's another one of those songs that has lyrics that link up well with the idea of Jason, as “It’s too late” gets repeated numerous times. And then of course, there’s the ri-damn-diculous chorus, which incorporates the spoken-word sound of a bomb getting ready to ‘splode.
