Bugs, Cults, and Blood: John Williams’ ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple Doom’

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the lesser of the original trilogy, but, I will try and change your mind about John Williams’ film score, my favorite of all the Indiana Jones scores. Along with the triumphant and epic return of the Raiders March, Williams write three new melodies for the characters of Willie and Short Round, and for the enslaved children within the temple. Williams’ writing is cranked up to ten as he delivers one of the most thrilling of his career! Be wary, though, this is Indiana Jones going to Hell!
