Originally released in 2019, Halloween Expanded is now seeing a brand-new packaging, making this a fresh item for fans to add to their collection.  2018’s Halloween was a hit beyond the wildest dreams of anyone involved. It opened to the biggest box office gross in Blumhouse’s history at the time, and the biggest in the history of the Halloween franchise. It was inevitable that a pair of sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, would soon be greenlit. Green signed on to direct both, but he didn’t want to assume that John, Cody, and Daniel would return to do the scores.  “I don’t ever take anything for granted,” he says. “So you hope they had a good experience. I know we had fun on the project, but you never know people’s time and financial interests and all these things. The realities of dealmaking, moviemaking, don’t always slide in so smoothly. But there wasn’t a hiccup. We looked at each other and said, ‘How do we make this work? Let’s do it again.’ Twice.”  The expanded version of Halloween includes more than 28 additional minutes of music from the film and presents a more complete, immersive listening experience. The additional material included on the expanded edition adds a total of 24 cues to the album, spread across two more sides of vinyl on the deluxe double LP version. This new expanded edition comes packaged with all-new artwork by Chris Bilheimer and an exclusive 24x36” poster designed by Creepy Duck. Expanded versions of the Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends scores, as well as a box set collecting all three expanded editions, will also be available from Sacred Bones on the same release date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SECRETLY DISTRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47532633850074,"sku":"HALLOWEEN-SOUNDTRACK-ART-EDITION-2LP-1286","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/843563191286.png?v=1769255853"},{"product_id":"john-carpenter-cody-carpenter-daniel-davies-anthology-ii-movie-themes-1976-1988-lp-blue-vinyl","title":"JOHN CARPENTER, CODY CARPENTER, \u0026 DANIEL DAVIES 'ANTHOLOGY II (MOVIE THEMES 1976-1988)' LP (Blue Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLabel: Sacred Bones Records\n\u003cbr\u003eVinyl Release Date: 10\/06\/2023\n\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Release Date: 10\/06\/2023\n\u003cbr\u003eVariant: Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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. His innate talent for composition and his deep understanding of how music can elevate storytelling have left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, and a haunting presence in people's record collections. Anthology II 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. The compilation opens with \"Chariots of Pumpkins\" from Halloween III that perfectly captures the eerie essence of the cult classic film with its pulsating synths and haunting melodies. The listener is engulfed by a sense of unease and anticipation, before being thrust into \"69th St. Bridge\" from Escape From New York, a dynamic track that encapsulates the futuristic and gritty nature of the film via the use of throbbing bass lines, driving rhythms, and electronic textures. The record has also an isolating tone as it skulks through ambient leaning tracks such as \"Fuchs\" and \"To Mac’s Shack\" from The Thing, and \"Walk to the Lighthouse\" from The Fog, all of which display a slower tempo, foreboding undertones and an ethereal atmosphere that feels like a distant whisper. All of which has been cautiously laid in preparation to the grand finale. The iconic and instantly recognizable \"Laurie's Theme\" from the original Halloween. Its simple yet menacing piano melody which has become synonymous with the horror genre, concludes the album by striking fear into the hearts of listeners. These tracks represent just a fraction of John Carpenter's impressive musical repertoire. With each haunting note and pulsating beat, his soundtracks continue to resonate with audiences, forever etching his name in the annals of film music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Following the release of that album, he went on his first-ever concert tour, performing material from the Lost Themes albums, as well as music from his classic film scores. He re-recorded many of those classic movie themes for 2017’s Anthology album, working alongside son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies. The following year, he was asked to executive produce and compose the music for the new Halloween movie directed by David Gordon Green, which promptly became the highest-grossing installment in the series. Now, he returns with his first album of non-soundtrack music in nearly five years, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderpinning Carpenter’s renaissance as a musician has been his collaboration with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. They’ve composed and performed as a trio throughout this entire run, on studio albums, on soundtracks, and onstage. Here, the trio reaches a new level of creative mind meld. Richly rendered worlds are built in the interplay between Davies’s guitar and the dueling synthesizers played by the Carpenters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “We begin with a theme, a bass line, a pad, something that sounds good and will lead us to the next layer,” John says of the trio’s process. “We then just keep adding on from there.

We’ve matured.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn called the first Lost Themes album “a soundtrack for the movies in your mind.” On Alive After Death, those movies are even more vivid. The song titles here are among his most evocative, too. Lead single “Weeping Ghost” thrillingly conjures its title figure in a wash of synthesizer, making the listener’s neck hairs stand on end as the aural specter stalks the halls of a dilapidated mansion. The pulsing “The Dead Walk” makes the zombie apocalypse feel like a rave. The gloomy, atmospheric closing track “Carpathian Darkness” casts shadow on the album with its strikingly effective minimal piano and splashes of twinkling synth. Each of the ten songs is a universe unto itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas the original Lost Themes album came as a pleasant surprise after years of relative silence from Carpenter, the third installment sees him in the midst of a resurgent moment as a cultural force. The 2018 Halloween score gave his music its biggest audience in decades, and the world he releases his new album into is one that has, at long last, given him the credit he deserves as a founding father of modern electronic music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SECRETLY DISTRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47896153096410,"sku":"JOHN-CARPENTER--LOST-THEMES-III:-ALIVE-AFTER-DEATH-TRANSPARENT-RED-LP","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/SBR265_380px.jpg?v=1779206144"},{"product_id":"john-carpenter-lost-themes-ii-lp-blue-smoke-vinyl","title":"JOHN CARPENTER 'LOST THEMES II' LP (Blue Smoke Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLabel: Sacred Bones Records\n\u003cbr\u003eVinyl Release Date: 04\/15\/2016\n\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Release Date: 04\/15\/2016\n\u003cbr\u003eVariant: Blue Smoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe musical world of Lost Themes II is also a wider one than that of its predecessor.

This manifests itself brilliantly in songs like lead single \"Distant Dream,\" which hitches a familiar Carpenterian beat to an expressive drum performance and rides it to a thrilling conclusion. The eerie \"Angel’s Asylum\" lets an ethereal synth line command the first three-quarters of the song, before turning over the melody to an acoustic guitar, and \"Virtual Survivor\" delivers a blast of the sci-fi menace that characterized his great scores for films like Assault on Precinct 13 and They Live.

As Halloween Ends marks the last chapter of the David Gordon Green trilogy, so it ushers the essential return of original director and composer John Carpenter to score the iconically hair-raising soundtrack alongside Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. Recorded in its entirety at Carpenter's home studio and Davies' studio, the unmistakable mix of software synths, vintage analogue equipment, and live instrumentation once again provides the signature sound of Halloween, one of the most distinctive aspects of the movie franchise to date. The soundtrack was tracked scene by scene but the album itself plays like a standalone piece of music. The general atmosphere is one of dread yet the record includes some groove laden moments reminiscent of Escape From New York or some of Carpenter’s other more dance-able scores. Exquisite and delicate ambient pieces weave their way between some of the score's more arresting moments and yet maintain a subtle pop sensibility. The overall achievement showcases three master musicians, one of whom invented the entire horror-synth genre, crafting an evocative, playful and deeply listenable score that honors a legacy and expands on the decades of work that have been leading to this triumphant climax.

Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. In the years since, Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies have released close to a dozen musical projects, including a growing library of studio albums and the scores for David Gordon Green's trilogy of Halloween reboots. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they've struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration. Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as \"soundtracks for the movies in your mind.\" On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs \"noirish\" is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone. The noir quality, then, is something you understand instinctively when you hear it, as in connected in an emotional way. The trio's free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John's own Christine. It's a chemistry that's helped power one of the most productive stretches of John's creative life, and Noir proves that it's nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.
