Alexander Taylor

Made this new contraption last night with a bunch of stuff from DIY and a contact microphone while watching the original HELLRAISER. I feel like I have to call it The Lament Configuration as a result. Not really an “instrument”, but I can use it for textural stuff in horror scores. #horrorfan #horrormovies #horroraddict #experimentalmusic #weirdinstruments #hellraiser #horrorjunkie #spooky #oddinstruments

Want to add some spice to your tracks? How bout a lil dobro, angklung, rain stick, shaker, tambourine, guiro, xylophone, an old Japanese electric guitar from the early 60’s, and that crazy Mini-Marvin from Morfbeats? Here’s a Neo-western gothic track I wrote for no reason at all. Just wanted to play with a bunch of my toys. #composer #composerlife #musicianlife #musiciansofinstagram #western #neowestern #weirdinstruments #oddinstruments #guitar #gretsch #musicstudio #recording #recordingartist #recordingsession

Even your nightmares need a good soundtrack. That’s where I come in. I’ve been working as a film composer for the better part of a decade now, and as anyone familiar with my work knows, I specialize in horror. I’ve loved this genre from an early age. Some might say too early, seeing as how I dressed up as Deputy Dewey in the 3rd grade, but I turned out okay… right?… Right?… RIGHT? I digress… One of the best parts about working in horror is the amazing community of people. They’ve shaped my work ethic into what it is today, and I am forever grateful. These humans are so thoughtful, wonderful, and strange. Frankly, I just want more of that. Special thanks to the tremendously talented @ndoll08 for making it seem like I know what I’m doing in this video. He shot, edited, and color corrected this thing, and he is the best. Same goes to @elwoodw for helping us out with the title card. Now… my name is Alexander Taylor, and I’d love to score your next horror film. #horrorcommunity #horrormusic #horrorart #horroraddict #composer #studiolife #musicproducer #horrorjunkie @mgmt_dd

Thanks to @lashortsfest and @midsummerscream for selecting EVERY OTHER ANIMAL! We’re incredibly proud of the entire cast and crew. Thanks to everyone for their support and kind words. We can’t wait to make it a feature!

Hell yeah! Screenrant made a list of the 10 best docs about horror, and I was fortunate enough to have scored two of them. Thanks @screenrant ! I was honored to be on Scream Queen and Unknown Dimension. As a huge fan of both the Elm Street and Paranormal Activity franchises, this is so gratifying to see! And my guy @andrewkasch ’s NEVER SLEEP AGAIN is firmly on the list too!

Yesterday was absolutely amazing. This documentary keeps giving us all opportunities we couldn’t have imagined. Thanks again, @markpattonnoes2 , for being so open with your story and message. Thanks to @tylerrayjensen and @roman_chimienti for putting everything you have into the project as well, and for being foolish enough to bring me on board. A huge shout out to @ericcmyhre for coordinating this so flawlessly. You have no idea how much it means. And thanks @wbpictures for hosting this. This nightmare keeps turning into a dream for all of us.

So excited for this! I cannot wait to reunite with the Scream Team… it’s been far too long. Thanks @wbpictures for hosting this! Looking forward to tonight! #nightmareonelmstreet #freddykrueger #pridemonth #pride🌈 #prideally🏳️‍🌈 #warnerbros #anightmareonelmstreet2 #horrorfan #horrorcommunity #horrorclub

My soundtrack for @locustgarden ’s THE SPIDER is finally out and available to listen to. Spotify link in bio. Thanks to everyone who’s tuned in. #horrormovies #horrorfan #horroraddict #horrorcommunity #spiderverse #spidermanintothespiderverse #intothespiderverse #sony #marvel #marvelcomics #thewalkingdead #chandlerriggs

Man on subway heading out to make unhealthy decisions involving bourbon. Circa 2024 courtesy of @vitesse.dob . Legit vintage @modestmouse concert shirt from 2004. It’s falling apart, but it’s perfect for nights when the good times are killing me.

Another night out with da bois. All portraits by @vitesse.dob , which is sadly why I don’t have a picture of him from this night.

I could not be more excited for this. On June 12, our documentary SCREAM QUEEN, MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET will be screening on the Warner Brothers lot to celebrate pride month! Afterwards, there will be a Q & A with @markpattonnoes2 , @roman_chimienti , @tylerrayjensen , and myself. I can’t wait to see you guys, and I’m so glad excited to catch up. And before it was even officially announced, we were already at capacity for the screening! And to add to the good news, there will be an additional screening in Glendale! Once the details are finalized, I’ll share all of that info. Sidenote: I was obsessed with the ANIMANIACS as a kid, so this is a big deal, haha.

I didn’t realize that that only half of my “thank you” video posted yesterday. The abrupt cut wasnt planned… there wasn’t too much left, but I figured I’d share it anyway. And now since hitting 1 million yesterday, THE SPIDER received another 600k views! Insanity. Anyway, thanks again gang! It truly means the world. #thankyou #1million #1millionviews #spiderverse #spider #spiderman #spidermanintothespiderverse #spidermanacrossthespiderverse #spidermanfarfromhome #acrossthespiderverse #intothespiderverse #marvel #sony #thewalkingdead #chandlerriggs
