Night Stalker’s chilling score
While there are songs that appear throughout Night Stalker, most of the music we hear is the bone-chilling score.
This ominous and atmospheric score was composed by Brooke and Will Blair.
The brotherly duo has been working together on film and TV scores since the mid-2000s and have worked on almost 50 projects together.
Their most recognisable work has come in the likes of Blue Ruin, 2015’s Green Room, as well as the Netflix films, Hold the Dark, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore and Small Crimes.
Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer is available to stream now on Netflix after releasing on January 13th, 2021.
