Why John Carpenter Wrote Theme Song For Foo Fighters Horror Movie
Studio 666 star Dave Grohl reveals why John Carpenter wrote the theme song and made a cameo in the Foo Fighters' horror-comedy movie. The film centers on the celebrated rock band as they move into a mansion in Encino, California with a dark, Satanic past to record their long-awaited 10th album. However, shortly after moving in, Grohl finds himself the target of the supernatural forces residing in the house that threatens both the album and his bandmates' lives.
Alongside Foo Fighters members Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflet and Rami Jaffee, the cast for Studio 666 includes Lionel Richie as himself, Marti Matulis, Jason Trost, Whitney Cummings, Will Forte, Jeff Garlin, Leslie Grossman, Kerry King and Jenna Ortega. Development on the horror-comedy was first announced in late 2021 when it was revealed it had been short in secret with Hatchet III's BJ McDonnell at the helm with a script from Pet Sematary's Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes based on a story concept developed by Grohl himself. Studio 666 is gearing up to hit theaters this week and those behind the film are offering some insight for its unique Easter eggs.
