Douglas Pipes

Douglas Pipes is a film music composer whose best known work to date is the 2006 soundtrack to Monster House. His loud, brassy instrumentations have drawn comparisons to action-music composer guru Alan Silvestri and his other orchestral-music composer counterparts Michael Giacchino, J.A.C. Redford and Joel McNeely. His chance encounter with Gil Kenan at UCLA California made him the perfect composer for this astounding soundtrack and composed the music on his short film The Lark.

Douglas grew up in Anaheim near Disneyland, and played in a number of local bands in Orange County, California. These include the Wahdels, the Instigators, and Pipes & Drums.

His most recent work is the score of the recent horror film Trick 'r Treat.
