Paul F. Antonelli (born July 22, 1959) is an American composer, musician, music director, and music supervisor. He began his career in the entertainment world as a keyboardist and founding member of the 1980s synthpop band, Animotion, appearing in the music video for their signature hit "Obsession".
After the first Animotion album, Antonelli departed the band and formed Radio Werewolf, who were featured in the 1988 film Mortuary Academy. Around this time, he began working on films scores, composing the music for Out of the Dark, China O'Brien and its sequel, and Dead On: Relentless II.
