#John Carpenter Reveals New Halloween Kills Track, Just In Time For Spooky Season

Go to any genre film festival and you’ll see the legacy of “Halloween,” and more specifically its score, thriving. So many people love the feel of those iconic Carpenter scores (a lot of which were done in collaboration with Alan Howarth) and … well, there’s a lot of folks ripping it off still to this day. 

This new track feels like authentic Carpenter. It’s a bit more complex than his original “Halloween” work, but that’s to be expected. He’s had over 40 years of growth as a musician since then, and there’s also the chemistry he has with his new collaborators to take into account. 

Make sure to check out his more recent original albums, titled “Lost Themes,” and you’ll recognize the more updated feel to his music. This track certainly contains the mood and pulsing tension that Carpenter is known for.
