One of the scariest slasher films to date is Halloween. The killer adventures of Michael Myers has been ingrained in all of us and listening to his classic theme song in the dark can definitely induce some paranoid tendencies if home alone. You can attribute the spine-chilling score to John Carpenter, who returns for the sequel and also who had co-wrote and directed the original Halloween movie.
While the original score was chilling enough, we are in a new era and a new score only seemed right. As to why it was decided that a new theme song was needed, co-writer David Gordon Green shared:
“It’s certainly the foundation of this movie, is John’s original theme. He’s composing the music with his son, Cody [Carpenter], and Daniel Davies, so the three of them are working together. It’s fun to be able to say, ‘When do you want iconic and when do you want to be fresh and inventive?’ So that’s kind of the balance we’re exploring right now. Hopefully he’s doing that today.”
You can listen to the soundtrack and see the movie October 19th, starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Judy Greer as Karen Strode, Andi Matichak as Allyson Strode, Will Patton as Hawkins, Virginia Gardner as Vicky, and Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers / The Shape.
A girl with too many fandoms to count.
