Master of horror John Carpenter has revealed his soundtrack for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions‘ Halloween remake, which Sacred Bones Records will release on October 19 to coincide with the film.
When the new Halloween movie hits theaters in October 2018, it will have the distinction of being the first film in the canon with creator John Carpenter’s direct involvement since 1982’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity).
While the new score was made with a few more resources than Carpenter’s famously shoestring original, its musical spirit was preserved.
