When we watch a suspenseful movie, much of the tension we feel comes from what we hear. This week, we talk with a Dallas music producer about a new score he’s written for one of the most gripping sci-fi movies of all time – 1979’s “Alien.”

The Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas will host a screening of “Alien” featuring Cory Kilduff’s new score on June 20.
