John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies – Halloween Ends (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Pumpkin Orange LP]

Description

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic,terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodimentof evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before, onewhere only one of them will survive.

AsHalloween Endsmarks the last chapter of theDavid Gordon Green trilogy, so it ushersthe essential return of original director and composerJohn Carpenter to score the iconically hair-raising soundtrack alongsideCody Carpenter andDaniel Davies.

Recorded in its entirety at Carpenters home studio and Davies studio, the unmistakablemix of software synths, vintage analogue equipment, and live instrumentation once againprovides the signature sound of Halloween, one of the most distinctive aspects of themovie franchise to date.

The soundtrack was tracked scene by scene but the album itself plays like a standalonepiece of music. The general atmosphere is one of dread yet the record includes somegroove laden moments reminiscent of Escape From New York or some of Carpentersother more dance-able scores. Exquisite and delicate ambient pieces weave their waybetween some of the scores more arresting moments and yet maintain a subtle popsensibility. The overall achievement showcases three master musicians, one of whominvented the entire horror-synth genre, crafting an evocative, playful and deeply listenablescore that honors a legacy and expands on the decades of work that have been leading tothis triumphant climax.
