Carpenter, of course, both directed 1978s originalHalloweenand composed the haunting score.
The soundtrack for Greens film features several new versions of its predecessors iconic main theme, among other tunes.
Carpenter crafted the soundtrack with his son, Cody Carpenter, and longtime collaborator Daniel Davies.
It was great, Carpenter said in a statement about creating the score.
I was proud to serve David Gordon Greens vision.
We wanted to honor the originalHalloweensoundtrack in terms of the sounds we used, Davies added.
Greens film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, who reprises her role as the Michael Myers-battling Laurie Strode.
What I loved is that it surgically excises all of that dead tissue, Curtisrecently told EW.
This is growing from just that original movie, 40 years later.
