On 21 October, we celebrate the birthday of Catherine Hardwicke, the director who brought Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight to the big screen in 2008. Her adaptation introduced audiences to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen and helped turn the story of their forbidden romance into a global phenomenon.
Music became an essential part of the film’s identity. From Muse’s dramatic Supermassive Black Hole, which accompanies the unforgettable baseball scene, to Decode by Paramore and Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine, the soundtrack helped capture the film’s mix of romance, tension and supernatural mystery. These songs became closely associated with the world of Twilight and remain favourites among fans.
This autumn, revisit the music that made the saga so memorable with Red Events’ Spooky Season tour. Music of the Twilight Saga brings the beloved soundtrack to the concert stage, alongside Tim Burton’s Universe, a programme celebrating the distinctive sounds of gothic cinema.
