Although we heard the Halloween theme last year when Trent Reznor released his version of it, it's worth revisiting because the master himself, John Carpenter, has reimagined it for the new Halloween movie that debuts tonight! In fact he did the whole score, so we know that at least that part of it (as well as any scene Jamie Lee Curtis is in) will live up to the original. This track is appropriately called "Halloween Triumphant." It incorporates the simplicity of the beloved 1978 version with synth-y elements that echo many of Carpenter's 80s scores. I can't wait to hear this and the rest of Carpenter's work blasting out of theater speakers!Also check out the lo-fi version that John Carpenter (sort of) plays on a Nintendo Labo:
Wonderful music. Loved hearing the theme and music cues during the film. Gave me chills and warmed my horrible little heart.
