John Carpenter has revealed some secrets behind his new Halloween score.
Back when John Carpenter created the iconic score for 1978’s Halloween, he was using old analog synthesizers, which gave him the ability to create orchestrations cheaply, and by himself.
Halloween isn’t even out yet, but it has gained quite a bit of praise from those who have already seen it, and John Carpenter’s Halloween score is one of the factors that helps make it as good as it is.
Early reviews of John Carpenter’s new Halloween score have been favorable, especially for the “The Shape Returns” and the music during the finale, where the composer says he “pulled out the kitchen sink and made it dark.”
