John Carpenter - Halloween

 

Halloween Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Deluxe Edition

2LP — Bone White And Orange Splatter Colored Vinyl

2018's Halloween was a fantastic return to form for the iconic horror franchise. Writer Danny McBride and director David Gordon Green demonstrated that they profoundly understood what makes a good slasher film work, and Michael hasn't been as terrifying or intimidating in years. But all this might have been for naught if the movie hadn't had that classic Halloween sound. That's where original Halloween director John Carpenter stepped in, delivering an excellent synth score that seriously cranked up the atmosphere.

The soundtrack album proved to be a big hit in its own right, debuting at No. 12 on the Billboard chart and becoming one of the most successful movie scores of recent times. Perhaps in recognition of this success, it's now being re-released by Sacred Bones Records in an expanded edition, which will include roughly 28 extra minutes,  presenting a more complete, immersive listening experience.

The additional material included on the expanded edition adds a total of 24 cues to the album, spread across two more sides of vinyl on the deluxe double LP version. The LP also has all-new art and lavish packaging, including an optical-illusion lenticular sleeve that makes the flames around Michael Myers's mask dance when you slide it off the record jacket. For diehard fans of the Halloween series, collectors of John Carpenter's music, or anyone who wants to hear even more of the incredible score to this movie, this expanded edition is a must-buy.
