Elmer Bernstein [SEP] Association with John Landis
John Landis grew up near Bernstein, and befriended him through his children. Years later, he requested that Bernstein compose the music for "National Lampoon's Animal House", over the studio's objections. He explained to Bernstein that he thought that Bernstein's score, playing it straight as if the comedic Delta frat characters were actual heroes, would emphasize the comedy further. The opening theme to the movie is based upon a slight inversion of a secondary theme from Brahms's "Academic Festival Overture". Bernstein accepted the job, and it sparked a second wave in his career, where he continued to compose music for high-profile comedies such as "Ghostbusters", "Stripes", "Airplane!" and "The Blues Brothers", as well as most of Landis's films for the next 15 years, including the famed music video to the Michael Jackson song "Thriller".
