MaXXXine Soundtrack: Every Song & When They Play in the Movie

Maxxxine Soundtrack: The 80s Hits You Didn't Know You Needed

Ti West's Maxxxine is the third and final chapter in the X horror trilogy, and it's packed with a killer soundtrack. Maxxxine is the perfect entry in Ti West's X trilogy to include several popular songs, and the film makes great use of music throughout. The film features Mia Goth in the leading role, and occasionally appearing as multiple characters. Behind the camera, Ti West has taken on the role of director, writer, producer and editor, while bringing in Tyler Bates as the composer for each entry, along with some additional help along the way.

Considering the fairly tight-knit production, the films rely on every element performing at its best in order to deliver a satisfying final product. Fortunately, the team for the film have proven their capability and created critically acclaimed entries throughout the series. The third entry also features some of the most popular songs in the franchise, which perfectly compliments the Hollywood setting as the central character, Maxine Minx, pursues her dreams of becoming a world-famous actress.
