History AwesomeMusic / FridayThe13th

* On a general standpoint, Sean Cunningham, Victor Miller and fans alike say that the film wouldn't have worked as well as it did if it wasn't for the soundtrack by Harry Manfredini, the so-considered PoorMansSubstitute and SpiritualSuccessor to Bob Cobert[[note]]Who's known for the soundtracks of ''Series/DarkShadows'', ''Film/BurntOfferings'', ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'' and ''Film/TrilogyOfTerror''.[[/note]] due to their similar scoring styles.

* Harry Manfredini returns as this film's composer and manages to create a score that's even more lively and creepier than before. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAeXhr1-6mc Ginny Under the Bed]] is a particular standout.

* While Fred Mollin's score is generally considered not as strong as Harry Manfredini's work on the previous six films, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BImmD_4rk0w the title credits theme]] is simple, yet effective.

* Harry Manfredini's score for this movie may be...[[{{Narm}} incredibly silly, to put it kindly]], but the opening track that plays before and during the FBI scene is still a noteworthy cue for fans as it, much like the opening scene itself, emulates that old school feel of the earlier ''Friday'' movies.

* Harry Manfredini returns to the franchise through this game, as while it is synth-based, much like ''Jason Goes to Hell'' and ''Jason X'', here it is as scary and intense as ever and pays a GenreThrowback {{Homage}} to his scoring back in TheEighties. The score is strengthened by additional music by Jason Graves from ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' (the first game in said series featured Peter Mensah, who played Sgt. Brodski in ''Jason X'').

Sean Cunningham, Victor Miller and fans alike say that the film wouldn't have worked as well as it did if it wasn't for the soundtrack curtesy of Harry Manfredini, the PoorMansSubstitute and SpiritualSuccessor to Bob Cobert of ''Series/DarkShadows'', ''Film/BurntOfferings'', ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'' and ''Film/TrilogyOfTerror'' due to their similar scoring styles in general.

Sean Cunningham, Victor Miller and fans alike say that the film wouldn't have worked as well as it did if it wasn’t for the soundtrack curtesy of Harry Manfredini, the PoorMansSubstitute and SpiritualSuccessor to Bob Cobert of ''Series/DarkShadows'', ''Film/BurntOfferings'', ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'' and ''Film/TrilogyOfTerror'' due to their similar scoring styles in general.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY3N0C8X0SM Flashback]]. A slow, foreboding cue that blends the dreamlike atmosphere fitting to Alice’s nightmare with the frantic violins of Part 1.
* The cue that plays when [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KjZ914DCMcY Ginny "tricks" Jason at his shack]]. Incredibly spacey and trippy, but equally suspenseful.

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A7KPbH_VtMg The music]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y1J2Pb6g0lg that plays during]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0bVONr5WMw0 the final confrontation]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DoI3AlccdHU between Chris and Jason]] is equal parts chilling and exhilarating. Easily some of Manfredini's finest work.

* Although a majority of the music was recycled from the previous three films, the few new cues Manfredini composed are still noteworthy, such as [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YpLGMzQQDVI the opening theme]], which helps build the hype as it plays over footage of the first 3 movies with Paul's narration from ''Part II''. It's suspenseful and dreamlike in the beginning, and keeps getting intense and frantic as it progresses, perfectly fitting the end of the franchise... [[SeriesFauxnale at the time at least]].
* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DwMOD-9CrhI The following track]] that plays at the beginning of the film. Simplistic and eerie.

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bOYHAfa2M7Y Pam and Reggie Meet Jason]], one of Harry Manfredini's most intense pieces he's ever composed for the franchise.

* Also, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QTwklJPG2g Hard Rock Summer]]" from the same man.
* Manfredini's soundtrack in general is pretty awesome. He ramps up the suspense and action more so than before and delivers a truly engaging and bombastic soundtrack. Special mention goes to tracks like [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wBPENBHyJTs "Here We Go Again (Opening Titles)"]], [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5YMBHBNssY "The Survivalists"]], [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zLEAJg46qv8 "Paula Feels the Tension"]] and [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2LKrvaJ8T-E "The Rescue / Finale"]].

* Likewise, the music [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=415--9WqGrc from the trailer]].

%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3Ommf67jlY&feature=related X is the Loneliest Number]]", the end credits theme.
* Though still not on par with his first 6 scores, Manfredini still manages do deliver a score less annoying than its predecessor. The [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zK91Tk3tsDk opening theme]] itself has a very epic feel to it.

* The [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g-t4CSLamUU opening theme]], which recaps the events of Alice decapitating the head of Pamela in 1980. It's as intense as it is high-octane.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4PDcR_9uY XIII]] by Crazy Lixx, as seen in the trailer, a perfect 80s throwback with the same style of music from the era of the original movies.
** Double points for Crazy Lixx and their song Killer, used for another trailer showcasing Jason's big kill animations.

* Harry Manfredini returning to score for the franchise through this game, as while it is synth-based much like in the cases of ''Jason Goes to Hell'' and ''Jason X'', here it is superior in comparison to the former two, as scary and intense as ever and paying a GenreThrowback {{Homage}} to his scoring back in TheEighties. Jason Graves from ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' (which the first game featured Peter Mensah, who played Sgt. Brodski in ''Jason X'') providing the helping hand for Manfredini, by doing the additional music also strengthen the music score for the game.
* The game's programmer credits set to the classic "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" by Music/AliceCooper.

* The [[spoiler:fake out]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPIrG3mE23I closing theme]], which is a slow, sweeping cue that indicates the terror is over. And then Jason pops out of the lake and drags Alice in...

* Mitch Murder's {{chiptune}} song that plays whenever Retro Jason is used ("Return to Camp Blood") was also praised by many people, especially as it evokes the spirit of the [[VideoGame/FridayThe13th original NES game]].
