The Sideshow Theme Show #14 – They Will Never Stop Hunting You
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
Spooky season marches on, and this week Will and Lasse descend into the darkness of Middle-earth to face one of Howard Shore’s most chilling creations: the Ringwraith (Nazgûl) theme from The Lord of the Rings.
The hosts unravel how Shore conjures terror through ritualistic choirs, dissonant pitch cells, and heavy orchestration, turning the Nine into a sonic force of pure dread. They discuss the text sung by the choir, the theme’s role as a leitmotif, and how Shore uses it to embody the presence of Sauron’s most dreaded servants.
It’s a deep dive into one of the most haunting pieces of modern film scoring — and a perfect continuation of our spooky season lineup.
