The suspenseful use of the strings and choir accenting "Glenn’s Escape" reminded me of some of Brian De Palma’s films. This is for a good reason. Pino Donaggio was De Palma’s composer after Bernard Herrmann passed away.

The saxophone brings sexiness to "Our Jennifer." The low strings of "Family Reunion" reminded me of FRIDAY THE 13^TH. Donaggio does a great job of creating the underside with electronic ambience.

The manic fun of "How To Get Ahead in Hollywood" reminded me a lot of the mischievousness Jerry Goldsmith captured in GREMLINS.

The strings of "Joan Gets Fired" act as a cutting weapon slicing back and fourth. "Glen and Glenda" is a twisted, intense cue that would make Bernard Herrmann proud.

"Pride of Chucky" is a merry-go-round of terror filled orchestral composition. Donaggio has the strings come at you aggressively in a circular way that create the feeling that there is no way of escaping them. The exotic instrumentation a little over three minutes in, really broadens the soundscape of this cue and the score as a whole.

"Five Years Later / Bad Girls / Fond Memories / Gotcha" is a nice send up to CARRIE and ends the score with the appropriate touch.

There is a comical rap tune called "Cut It Up" performed by Fredwreck and Defari to end the CD.

As they always do, La-La Land Records have put together a good-looking color linear note booklet featuring photos from the movie and behind the scenes. Pino Donaggio writes that he really found the film to be a challenge because he was writing to capture the emotion of dolls. Donaggio also admits that Writer/Director Don Mancini asked him indulge in self-parody which was scary because he had never done it before. Don Mancini states that Pino Donaggio has been his favorite composer since the mid-70s and was delighted to get him to score this film.

SEED OF CHUCKY is the kind of score that we haven’t heard since the last time Pino Donaggio added his unmistakable signature to an American movie. La-La Land Records have done their part to offer a CD package that would sit tall in your CD collection.
