Swedish metal band Ghost has created a spine-chilling collaboration with actor Patrick Wilson, releasing a cover of Shakespears Sister’s 1992 hit song ‘Stay.’ The haunting rendition serves as the end credits song for the recently released film, Insidious: The Red Door.
This is not the first time Ghost has contributed to a Blumhouse production. The band previously provided the song ‘Hunter’s Moon’ for the end credits of Halloween Kills. Now, their eerie talents are showcased once again, with ‘Stay’ amplifying the suspenseful atmosphere of Insidious: The Red Door.
Ghost’s recent covers demonstrated their prowess in reimagining songs, and it seems their creative well is far from dry. ‘Stay’ captivates listeners with its ethereal synths and echoing vocals, gradually building up to powerful guitar riffs. What makes this collaboration even more intriguing is Patrick Wilson’s involvement. The actor, director, and Tony-nominated singer is a devoted Ghost fan, having attended their live performances twice in 2022.
Wilson’s connection with Ghost deepened when he met the band’s frontman, Tobias Forge, while working on his directorial debut, Insidious: The Red Door. Inspired by Ghost’s collaboration with Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott on “Spillways,” Wilson reached out to Forge. Discovering that Forge had been working on a cover of Shakespeare Sister’s “Stay,” the two decided to join forces and create a captivating rendition, with Wilson lending his vocals to the track.
The Ghost and Patrick Wilson collaboration is prominently featured in the final scene and end credits of Insidious: The Red Door, heightening the film’s chilling ambiance. Fans can now listen to the song on major digital platforms, immersing themselves in its dark and captivating atmosphere.
In addition to this haunting collaboration, Ghost is set to embark on a headlining US tour in early August. The tour will be supported by fellow Swedish band Amon Amarth, promising an electrifying and unforgettable live experience.
As Ghost continues to mesmerize audiences with their haunting melodies and Patrick Wilson expands his creative horizons, the collaboration on “Stay” serves as a testament to the convergence of talent within the worlds of music and cinema.
Whether you’re a fan of Ghost, Patrick Wilson, or both, their collaboration on this eerie cover of ‘Stay’ is an unmissable sonic journey into darkness.
