'''''Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (Music from the Netflix Trilogy)''''' is the [[Film score|film score soundtrack]] to the 2021 film ''[[Fear Street Part Three: 1666]]'', the third instalment in the [[Fear Street (film series)|Fear Street trilogy]], following ''[[Fear Street Part One: 1994]]'' and ''[[Fear Street Part Two: 1978|Part Two: 1978]]''. The film is jointly scored by [[Marco Beltrami]], Anna Drubich and Marcus Trumpp.

Since the film is set in the 17th century, that did not have any musical references to construct the soundscape; the film's score was composed with a medieval touch with Drubich experimenting on the instrumentation and sounds providing an eerie and raw sound. Trumpp's contribution was only for the film's second half as that particular episode continues from ''Part One: 1994''.

Maisie Music Publishing and [[Milan Records]] distributed the soundtrack on July 16, 2021, in conjunction with the film's release.

== Development ==
Marco Beltrami returned to score music for ''Part Three: 1666'', after previously doing so for the predecessors. Anna Drubich and Marcus Trumpp joined as co-composers, the latter had also work with Beltrami on ''Part One: 1994''.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2021-05-25 |title=Netflix's 'Fear Street' Trilogy to Feature Original Score by Marco Beltrami, Marcus Trumpp, Brandon Roberts & Anna Drubich |url=https://filmmusicreporter.com/2021/05/25/netflixs-fear-street-trilogy-to-feature-original-score-by-marco-beltrami-marcus-trumpp-brandon-roberts-anna-drubich/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210630121301/https://filmmusicreporter.com/2021/05/25/netflixs-fear-street-trilogy-to-feature-original-score-by-marco-beltrami-marcus-trumpp-brandon-roberts-anna-drubich/ |archive-date=2021-06-30 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Film Music Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref>

Unlike the first two films, the score for ''Part Three: 1666'' did not have a particular influence of the sound from the 17th century. Hence, Drubich was tasked to produce an atonal, ritualistic type of sound that mostly had a medieval vibe.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Holstrom |first=Jans |date=2021-07-01 |title=Anna Drubich: We Interview ''Werewolves Within'' and ''Fear Street'' Composer |url=https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/405379/anna-drubich-we-interview-werewolves-within-and-fear-street-composer/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210701184413/https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/405379/anna-drubich-we-interview-werewolves-within-and-fear-street-composer/ |archive-date=2021-07-01 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Dread Central |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Adams |first=Sam |date=2021-07-17 |title=How Fear Street Went From YA Books to Adult Horror Trilogy |url=https://slate.com/culture/2021/07/fear-street-part-3-1666-netflix-movies-ending.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211001220041/https://slate.com/culture/2021/07/fear-street-part-3-1666-netflix-movies-ending.html |archive-date=2021-10-01 |access-date=2024-08-09 |work=Slate |language=en-US |issn=1091-2339}}</ref> She collected the samples of the sounds, with the help of donkey jawbones and shell shakers recorded in her one voice. Those collections and a nonet of instruments were recorded at the [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London, as she wanted to bring an eerie and raw sound, as an orchestral music would give a completely different sound.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Tangcay |first=Jazz |date=2021-07-16 |title='Fear Street: 1666' Music Involved Hunting Down a Witchy Vibe to Cap the Trilogy |url=https://variety.com/2021/music/news/fear-street-1666-score-composer-1235020999/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220817114600/https://variety.com/2021/music/news/fear-street-1666-score-composer-1235020999/ |archive-date=2022-08-17 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>

Drubich scored an intimate sound for a romantic sequence with the two characters. She then used the cello for the evil theme. The second half of the film was scored by Trumpp as it continued with ''Part One: 1994''; hence, she weaved in a comedy theme that transitions into a serious score at the end of the film. She was inspired by ''[[Midsommar]]'' and its [[Midsommar (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] for developing the score, but however, she tried embracing the witchcraft theme of the episode.<ref name=":0" />

== Reception ==
Jonathan Broxton in his review for ''Movie Music UK'' found Part Three: 1666's score to be the weakest of the series, as "it contains by far the most challenging dissonance and intense horror writing, and is the least thematically dense" but also praised the composers' work, saying "the creativity behind the dissonance that Beltrami and Drubich show is certainly impressive, especially in the use of unusual percussion items."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Broxton |first=Jonathan |date=2021-08-13 |title=FEAR STREET, PART THREE: 1666 – Marco Beltrami and Anna Drubich |url=https://moviemusicuk.us/2021/08/13/fear-street-part-three-1666-marco-beltrami-and-anna-drubich/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210917002054/https://moviemusicuk.us/2021/08/13/fear-street-part-three-1666-marco-beltrami-and-anna-drubich/ |archive-date=2021-09-17 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=MOVIE MUSIC UK |language=en}}</ref> Maxance Vincent of CGMagazine called it as "a wonderful score from Marco Beltrami and Anna Drubich".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vincent |first=Maxance |date=2021-07-20 |title=Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021) Review |url=https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/tv-series/fear-street-part-three-1666-review/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230607153435/https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/tv-series/fear-street-part-three-1666-review/ |archive-date=2023-06-07 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=CGMagazine |language=en-CA}}</ref> Anthony McGlynn of ''[[Wargamer (website)|The Digital Fix]]'' described it as a "hammed up score" and wrote "Sometimes cliches work, and the histrionic strings come in at just the right time for the final act."<ref>{{Cite web |last=McGlynn |first=Anthony |date=2021-07-16 |title=Fear Street Part Three: 1666 review (2021) - and the devil is six |url=https://www.thedigitalfix.com/fear-street/part-three-review |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220816184240/https://www.thedigitalfix.com/fear-street/part-three-review |archive-date=2022-08-16 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=The Digital Fix |language=en-US}}</ref> Michael Nordine of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' and Lovia Gyarkye of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' found it to be "impressive" and "effective".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nordine |first=Michael |date=2021-07-16 |title='Fear Street Part 3: 1666' Review: Third Time's the Charm as Netflix Horror Trilogy Ends Where It Began |url=https://variety.com/2021/film/reviews/fear-street-part-3-1666-review-1235021333/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230121001229/https://variety.com/2021/film/reviews/fear-street-part-3-1666-review-1235021333/ |archive-date=2023-01-21 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Gyarkye |first=Lovia |date=2021-07-16 |title=Netflix's 'Fear Street Part 3: 1666': Film Review |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/fear-street-part-3-1666-film-1234983228/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422113116/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/fear-street-part-3-1666-film-1234983228/ |archive-date=2023-04-22 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> Nicolás Delgadillo of ''DiscussingFilm'' found it to be a "stirring score".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Delgadillo |first=Nicolás |date=2021-07-17 |title='Fear Street Part Three: 1666' Review - The Thrilling Conclusion Somehow Saves the Best for Last |url=https://discussingfilm.net/2021/07/17/fear-street-part-three-1666-review-the-thrilling-conclusion-somehow-saves-the-best-for-last/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210723045401/https://discussingfilm.net/2021/07/17/fear-street-part-three-1666-review-the-thrilling-conclusion-somehow-saves-the-best-for-last/ |archive-date=2021-07-23 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=DiscussingFilm |language=en-US}}</ref>
