The Ultimate Halloween Bundle! Extremely Limited Quantities!!!
Five 180g Color Vinyl LPs With Collector's Box!
Halloween 40th Anniversary Soundtrack + Halloween II, III, IV & V!
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of John Carpenter's seminal slasher film, this 5LP set contains the original soundtracks to Halloween (40th Anniversary Edition), Halloween II, Halloween III: The Season Of The Witch, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers, and Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers. All five 180g color vinyl LPs are housed in a limited edition Halloween collector's slipcase with a printed interior.
The 40th anniversary release of the original HALLOWEEN music composed and performed by John Carpenter in 1978 presents the original Halloween film score as it was mixed within the film. The audio is taken from the "music stem" derived from the 35mm mono tracks that comprised the dialogue, sound effects and music of the original film which when combined, comprise the complete soundtrack of the classic film. The first LP album of Halloween, released in 1982, was a remix of the original 16 master by Alan Howarth, with instructions from John Carpenter to re-mix the tracks to represent the best sound of the music, and not necessarily be committed to match the music as mixed for the film. For this release, Alan Howarth carefully transferred the film music stem, and assembled the music in chronological order as presented in the movie so the listener can visualize the film in their mind's eye while taking a musical journey of the most famous horror score ever! With additional mastering for vinyl by James Plotkin, the package includes a 425gsm gatefold sleeve with obi-strip and artwork by Mike Saputo.
Set directly after the events of the first film, Rick Rosenthal's sequel sets itself up as the slasher equivalent of The Empire Strikes Back, making a family connection between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers while getting some good kills in at the same time. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's score is beefier and more intense than before, using layers of electronics to drive the audience to madness. As before, Myers aka "The Shape" is propelled by that theme, souped up with a new and more powerful arrangement from Carpenter and Howarth. HALLOWEEN II is more overtly synth and is perhaps less focused than the original score, although that certainly means it's nastier and more schizophrenic. The score also brings back the evocative "Laurie's Theme", incorporating into a score full of harrowing musical effect, its synthesised howls and wails piercing your ears so that by the time "Mr. Sandman" comes around, you'll feel just like the final girl, delirious at having survived the aural ordeal. And that's just when The Shape wakes up. Features a 425gsm gatefold jacket with obit-strip and all new artwork by Paul Mann.
It's been a long, hard road for HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH to be accepted within the HALLOWEEN franchise, but it is now widely considered to be one of the best horror movies of the '80s. The packaging for this release is also completely singular and jaw-dropping; designed by Alan Hynes (the wizard behind the Death Waltz FIGHT CLUB and ANOMALISA releases) it's unlike all of the other re-issues in this series. It's still designed to fit in the collectors box and really helps solidify what an outlier HALLOWEEN III is in the overall series. The film is unique not only due to it lacking Michael Myers (save for a brief appearance on a TV screen) but also for its score. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth completely jettisoned their previous work and deliver nothing short of an electronic masterpiece. The lead track "Chariots Of Pumpkins" is an epic 4/4 beat-driven synth-banger that has regularly been played by DJs over the last 10 years. The rest of the score features lush pads, Linn drums aplenty and veers from beautiful blissed-out ambient drones to sinister stinger-driven mood pieces. Absolutely outstanding stuff. Packaging includes art and design by Alan Hynes, plus a special magic card trick.
The newly remastered version of the score to HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS is pressed on vinyl for the first time in 30 years. This score marked the first time Alan Howarth was working solo within the HALLOWEEN franchise and he takes the blueprint Carpenter and himself created but weaves new themes for both Jamie and Michael within the familiar framework of the 5/4 theme timing. Remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin from the original master tapes, the package features a 425gsm gatefold jacket with obi-strip and original artwork by Gary Pullin, plus liner notes by Blake J. Fichera.
HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS has been freshly remastered from the original master tapes for this first vinyl reissue in 29 years. Alan Howarth once again takes the familiar HALLOWEEN blueprint but expands it greatly utilizing layers of synths to create a fresh take on something that is familiar to all fans of the franchise. Remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin from the original master tapes, the package features a 425gsm gatefold jacket with obi-strip and original artwork by Randy Ortiz, plus liner notes by Blake J. Fichera.
