Several new versions of the iconic main theme serve as the pulse of Green’s film, its familiar 5\/4 refrain stabbing through the soundtrack like the Shape’s knife. The rest of the soundtrack is just as enthralling, incorporating everything from atmospheric synth whooshes to eerie piano-driven pieces to skittering electronic percussion. While the new score was made with a few more resources than Carpenter’s famously shoestring original, its musical spirit was preserved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“We wanted to honor the original \u003ci\u003eHalloween\u003c\/i\u003e soundtrack in terms of the sounds we used,” Davies explained. “We used a lot of the Dave Smith OB-6, bowed guitar, Roland Juno, Moog, Roland System 1, Roland System 8, different guitar pedals, mellotron, and piano.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor \u003cstrong\u003eCody Carpenter\u003c\/strong\u003e, John’s son, and \u003cstrong\u003eDavies\u003c\/strong\u003e, his godson, it was surreal to work on something that means so much to generations of fans, and that they grew up around.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“It was an honor for us to be involved, and we are really happy to be a part of something that so many people are anticipating and excited about,” Davies said. “Working together with both the director of the new \u003ci\u003eHalloween\u003c\/i\u003e and the creator of the original \u003ci\u003eHalloween\u003c\/i\u003e was really a fantastic experience.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waxwork Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58486847668555,"sku":"HALLO18","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/1984\/3147\/files\/Halloween2019_Cover_web.jpg?v=1789549291","url":"https:\/\/musichistory.shop\/products\/halloween-2018","provider":"Music History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
