Mark Andrushko, President of Scriptapalooza and an accomplished composer, has unveiled an ambitious and innovative musical project: a full-length original score inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula. This bold creative endeavor features 27 distinct compositions, each one tailored to a corresponding chapter of the novel, forming a musical journey that mirrors the story’s unfolding tension, mystery, and emotion.
The result is a haunting, immersive soundscape that reimagines the gothic horror of Dracula through music. By treating each chapter as its own emotional vignette, Andrushko captures the psychological depth and narrative progression of Stoker’s work. From foreboding orchestral swells to intimate piano motifs and chilling electronic textures, the score spans a wide emotional and sonic range, offering listeners a deeply atmospheric companion to the novel.
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula has captivated readers for generations with its atmosphere of dread, passion, and supernatural menace,” said Andrushko. “I wanted to create a musical companion that honors the novel’s psychological complexity while offering a fresh perspective through sound. Each chapter has its own emotional signature, and I’ve worked to translate that into a cohesive musical journey.”
The score is not simply background music—it is designed to be experienced alongside the novel or as a standalone auditory exploration. Whether listeners are rediscovering the book or hearing the music in isolation, the score invites a deeper emotional engagement with the timeless narrative.
Blending traditional orchestration with experimental sound design, Andrushko’s work represents a convergence of classical sensibility and contemporary innovation. Strings, woodwinds, and piano are interwoven with synthesized elements, eerie ambient textures, and percussive effects to convey the supernatural and psychological undertones that define the Dracula mythos.
This musical project stands as Andrushko’s most ambitious artistic undertaking to date. Known primarily for his work in screenwriting and script development through Scriptapalooza, he brings a storyteller’s sensibility to the composition process. Each track is structured not just as music, but as a narrative in its own right, complete with pacing, tone shifts, and emotional arcs.
The project is now available for streaming and download, with additional behind-the-scenes content, including composer commentary and thematic breakdowns, available at www.MarkAndrushko.com.
Listeners are invited to immerse themselves in a sonic retelling of one of literature’s most enduring tales. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Stoker’s masterpiece or discovering it for the first time, Andrushko’s score offers a compelling new way to experience the dark romance and suspense of Dracula.
