Weapons – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 2025 horror-thriller Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger. The original score was composed by Ryan Holladay, Zach Cregger and Hays Holladay, with creative collaboration from Cregger. The music blends atmospheric orchestration, textural tension, and minimalist thematic writing to support the film’s unsettling tone and psychological suspense.
The soundtrack album was released August 1, 2025 via WaterTower Music. It contains 36 original score tracks with a total runtime of approximately 51 minutes, and is available on major digital platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. A physical vinyl edition was later issued through Waxwork Records.
The score emphasizes slow-burn tension, eerie tonal layering, and restrained melodic development, underscoring the film’s escalating dread and narrative ambiguity without relying on overt thematic exposition.
In addition to the official 36-track score album, the film features 11 licensed songs credited in the official music listings. These include George Harrison – “Beware of Darkness,” Andrew Gold – “Never Let Her Slip Away,” Harry Nilsson – “Gotta Get Up,” and “Under the Porch” (credited to Matt Asti, Will Berman, Ben Goldwasser, James Richardson & Andrew VanWyngarden), along with works by Chips Moman & Dan Penn, Jeff Lippencott, Kenneth Eberhard & Mark T. Williams, Kay Savage & Sandra Seamons, Brett Sparks & Rennie Sparks, Richard Cottle, John Leach, and Roger Webb. These licensed tracks are not included on the official score album release.
