Danny Elfman: Music for Misfits
On this episode of The Soundtrack, Haley Taylor celebrates the strange, theatrical, and unforgettable world of composer Danny Elfman — from the carnival chaos of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Beetlejuice to the Gothic grandeur of Batman, the emotional tenderness of Black Beauty, and the bittersweet outsider stories of Corpse Bride and Silver Linings Playbook. Along the way, the episode explores how Elfman transformed Hollywood film scoring with music full of dark humor, nervous energy, soaring emotion, and empathy for misfits and outsiders everywhere.
Haley Taylor hosts The Soundtrack every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following Haley on Instagram.
