Matthew Herbert (A Fantastic Woman, The Wonder, Disobedience, The Responder, The Beast Must Die, Gloria Bell, The Cave, Rosebush Pruning, Hot Milk, Temple) has composed the original score for the new HBO original documentary series The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story. The show is directed by Philip Cairney (Being Beethoven) and follows a New Orleans cop who attempts to solve the mysterious murder of a pet cemetery owner and discovers an eerie and brutal past that still haunts the community. The 3-parter features new insights from the victim’s neighbors, law enforcement, local journalists, and scholars that unearth a labyrinthine tale involving multiple dead bodies, disturbing family secrets, and centuries-old massacres. Simon Chinn (Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man) & Jonathan Chinn (The Mission, Whitney) are executive producing the Lightbox production with Suzanne Lavery (Twisted Yoga, The Diamond Heist), James Marsh (The Theory of Everything, Shadow Dancer) and Silvia Sacco, as well as Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller & Tina Nguyen. The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story is premiering tonight on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
