Will Musser

Will Musser’s the kind of name you’ll see rolling up in the credits when faith flicks and indie thrillers hit the screen. He’s the guy behind the music for God’s Not Dead, that 2014 Christian drama that had everyone from youth groups to angry Facebook uncles buzzing for weeks. Seriously, that soundtrack is burned into the brains of anyone who’s ever been dragged to a church movie night. But don’t shove him in a box just yet—he’s got range. Fast forward to 2022, and suddenly he’s working on Escape the Field, a tense little thriller where paranoia grows higher than the corn. The plot? Strangers wake up in a cornfield with no idea how they got there, and—classic move—they’re hunted by some unseen force. It’s the kind of movie where the score really pumps up that “oh crap, what was that noise?” feeling, and Musser’s music totally nails it. Then there’s Deer Camp ’86, also from 2022, which, let’s be honest, is a title that screams “weird stuff’s about to go down in the woods.” It’s a wild ride—think small-town legends, a group of buddies in the wilderness, and a creepy vibe that tiptoes between horror and dark comedy. Musser’s musical fingerprints are all over it. The dude jumps from gospel to goosebumps without skipping a beat. If you’ve caught any of these flicks, you’ve heard his work, probably without realizing it. He’s not a household name (yet), but his music? Kinda unforgettable.
