Many of their predecessors handled issues of race the way we tiptoe across the thinnest of ice - if they didn't avoid them altogether. Biden and Harris are not afraid to take them head-on - perhaps because the omnipresent subject of race has become so unavoidable.

As a kid, I had a Beatles poster and a Bela Lugosi as Dracula poster, so both worlds always appealed to me. Horror allows you to do things as a composer than you're able to do in no other style of movie. The music has to be aggressive. You can't tiptoe around.
