In honor of the day, here's a bit of Friday the 13th trivia that as far as I know isn't documented anywhere.
One of the musical motifs that composer Harry Manfredini used in the first two Friday films was an ascent up the pitches of a minor-major 7th chord: G–B-flat–D–F-sharp. You can here it first when
There's actually quite a bit of compositional tightness in the music. Much of the music is just this chord and a French Augmented-Sixth chord, but they are used in ways that's not so obvious.
Anyway, hope you enjoy this little bit of trivia.

Mrs. Voorhees ascends the ladder to kill Claudette and Barry
before the first film's opening credits. When it came time to make the funky disco version for Part III, he took the same notes but put them in a different order and configuration: B-flat down to G, then up to F-sharp and descending to D.There's actually quite a bit of compositional tightness in the music. Much of the music is just this chord and a French Augmented-Sixth chord, but they are used in ways that's not so obvious.
