No Sleep Tonight (2024)
Short - Horror
🎬 No Sleep Tonight – Unofficial Piano Score
🎥 Directed by H. Owen Richardson | Produced by Unhinged Pictures
🎖 Haunted House Fear Fest 2024 - Best Horror Short and Best Costume Design
In this reinterpretation of No Sleep Tonight, a psychological horror short, I composed an original piano score designed to explore the film’s emotional undercurrents and heighten its sense of unease. While unofficial, the composition offers a fresh musical perspective — one that emphasizes internal tension over overt scares.
Sparse textures, dissonant motifs, and subtle rhythmic instability underscore the protagonist’s descent into insomnia and psychological turmoil, adding depth to the film’s atmosphere and pacing.
