Original scoring for American Horror Story is composed by Charlie Clouser (late of Nine Inch Nails). He has created a different main title theme for each season, all incorporating an experimental noise piece from musician Cesar Davila-Irizarry. Along with his incidental music, the soundtrack features borrowed scoring from horror films as well as previously released and newly covered recordings of popular rock and standards.
