Editing Gremlins (section)

=== Music ===
The film's score was composed and conducted by [[Jerry Goldsmith]], who won a [[Saturn Award for Best Music]] for his efforts, and performed by the [[Hollywood Studio Symphony]]. The main score was composed with the objective of conveying "the mischievous humor and mounting suspense of Gremlins".<ref name="Behind Scenes" /> Goldsmith also wrote Gizmo's song, which was hummed by Ilene Keys, a child actress and acquaintance of Goldsmith, rather than Mandel himself.<ref name="DVD" /><ref name=":0" /> Goldsmith also appears in the film, alongside Steven Spielberg, in the scene where Rand calls home from the salesman's convention.

The soundtrack album was released by [[Geffen Records]] as a specially priced 7 cut mini-album on LP and cassette (Goldsmith's music comprised all of side two) and reissued on compact disc in 1993 only in Germany.
