Today we are thrilled to announce the release of a new John Carpenter compilation “Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988).”
By now everyone should know, John Carpenter is not only a celebrated filmmaker but also a musical maestro whose soundtracks have become synonymous with the genres of horror, suspense, and science fiction.
“Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)” continues the celebration of his compositional genius via an excellently sequenced collection of some of his most iconic pieces of music from his extensive filmography, all newly recorded with his musical collaborators Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter. Pre-Order the record on various formats including the Sacred Bones mail-order exclusive “They Live” blue and white splatter vinyl, while supplies last! The record comes out on October 6th, 2023.
Be sure to check out this incredible Adam Fuchs visualizer for the first single from the album, stand-out track “Chariots of Pumpkins” from the cult classic film Halloween III. This song appears first on the album because as John Carpenter himself said: “felt like a good way to open the compilation with a bang.”
Watch the visualizer through the YouTube player below.
