!! This composer provides examples of the following tropes:

* BootstrappedLeitmotif: In nearly all of his appearances, Jason Voorhees' entrance is usually heralded by a distinctive eerie whisper of "ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma". This sound has become so associated with the character, that one of the major criticisms of the [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 2009 remake]] was that, for some asinine reason, it was removed.
* {{Leitmotif}}: In addition to Jason's trademark whisper, ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' has one for scenes where Tina uses her powers.
* PsychoStrings: A major contributor to the tense atmosphere of the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' films is Manfredini's use of frantic, high-pitched strings in a manner reminiscent of Music/BernardHerrmann.
* RecycledSoundtrack: About half of the music in ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' is recycled from Manfredini's work on the previous six films, with the rest consisting of original cues by Fred Mollin.
* ScareChord: Another major element of Manfredini's ''Friday the 13th'' scores is the usage of jarring synthesizer notes to punctuate the manic PsychoStrings.
