Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack for Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist formed a significant part of the 1982
film’s conceptual strength. Known for the intensity of his thematic exposition, Goldsmith designs
the Poltergeist soundtrack to elaborately ground the film between the promise of suburban repose
and the malevolent unknown. Beginning in innocence with a classic rendition of the “Star-Spangled
Banner,” the soundtrack parallels the film’s intrusion of angry ghosts into the California home of the film’s
protagonists with dreadful strings and eerie keys. Goldsmith then switches to airier strings and an ethereal
flute to denote the family’s fumbling after their daughter, Carol Anne, is abducted. Utilizing frenzied
horn blasts and a sudden lapse into atonalism, the composer ominously signifies the emergence of the
Beast. Goldsmith, seemingly effortless, concludes the frantic drama of “Escape From Suburbia” in stark
contrast with the sweet and child-like tones of “Carol Anne’s Theme,” elegantly illustrating the dignity and
range that his orchestral scores for horror modeled within the genre.
