Harry Manfredini (born August 25, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American film composer and jazz-soloist, who has scored more than one hundred films, most notably perhaps being the Friday the 13th film series. He has had years of classical training, as well as twenty years in the popular music scene. His style of music compares to Bernard Herrmann.
He is still active in Hollywood.
Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. It occurs when the 13th day of the month in the Gregorian calendar falls on a Friday.
The fear of the number 13 has been given a scientific name: "triskaidekaphobia"; and on analogy to this the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, from the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen").
The superstition surrounding this day may have arisen in the Middle Ages, "originating from the story of Jesus' last supper and crucifixion" in which there were 13 individuals present in the Upper Room on the 13th of Nisan Maundy Thursday, the night before his death on Good Friday. While there is evidence of both Friday and the number 13 being considered unlucky, there is no record of the two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction before the 19th century.
An early documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards' 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini, who died on a Friday 13th:
Harry may refer to:
The Game or The Games may refer to:
13 (thirteen /θɜːrˈtiːn/) is the natural number following 12 and preceding 14.
In spoken English, the numbers 13 and 30 are often confused. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 13 i/θərˈtiːn/ vs. 30 /ˈθɜːrti/. However, in dates such as 1300 ("thirteen hundred") or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as 13, 14, 15, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 13 /ˈθɜːrtiːn/.
Strikingly similar folkloric aspects of the number 13 have been noted in various cultures around the world: one theory is that this is due to the cultures employing lunar-solar calendars (there are approximately 12.41 lunations per solar year, and hence 12 "true months" plus a smaller, and often portentous, thirteenth month). This can be witnessed, for example, in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" of Western European tradition.
The number 13 is the sixth prime number, and the smallest emirp (a prime that is a different prime when reversed). It is also a Fibonacci number, a happy number, the third centered square number, and one of only 3 known Wilson primes.

Soundtrack suite from the first Friday the 13th (1980). Harry Manfredini composed the score for strings (with some synths and percussion). Manfredini also provided himself the famous vocalize effect "Ki-Ki-Ki - Ma-Ma-Ma" (inspered by the line "kill her mommy!" which became associated with the frachise) and returned to score 7 sequels (part 2 to 6 and 9 and 10). This score was released on CD by Lalaland Records in 2012, first as a part of the rare Friday the 13th 1 to 6 box set (with 1.300 copies released) then as a stand alone release which remains available at Lalaland Records' site. It was also released in 2014 on LP by Waxworks Records.

This is personally my favorite score of the entire franchise but fans of both the film and its music you should remember that a large part of Part 3's music was largely recycled music from Parts 1 and 2 but Manfredini wrote the finale music. This is the ORIGINAL score written for Part 3 and features absolutely no music from the first 2 films. This definitely has to be some of the BEST string music EVER written for a horror film and after the scores for the first 3 movies going unreleased for over 30 years it's amazing to finally be able to enjoy this on its own outside of the film courtesy of LaLaLand Records. Due to the length of the suite I am forced to split it up into 2 parts. The link for the second video is below. I hope you all enjoy! 1982 - Original Motion Picture Score Composed b...
