The original motion picture soundtrack for the 2018 ‘reinvention’ of Halloween will be released on vinyl and CD by Sacred Bones Records on October 19, 2018. The new score is composed by John Carpenter, alongside Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies (Carpenter’s collaborators from his last three solo albums).
Sacred Bones is releasing three vinyl versions: standard black vinyl ($19), limited edition orange vinyl ($22), and “art edition” white with orange swirl vinyl ($26). The latter features die-cut alternate artwork by Chris Bilheimer and is limited to 2,000 copies. Various limited edition versions are also being released internationally.
“The new soundtrack pays homage to the classic Halloween score that Carpenter composed and recorded in 1978, when he forever changed the course of horror cinema and synthesizer music with his low-budget masterpiece. Several new versions of the iconic main theme serve as the pulse of Green’s film, its familiar 5/4 refrain stabbing through the soundtrack like the Shape’s knife. The rest of the soundtrack is just as enthralling, incorporating everything from atmospheric synth whooshes to eerie piano-driven pieces to skittering electronic percussion. While the new score was made with a few more resources than Carpenter’s famously shoestring original, its musical spirit was preserved.”
