Halloween Kills: John Carpenter score track promises a rampage

Last month, Sacred Bones Records started taking pre-orders for their vinyl, CD, and cassette releases of the score John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies have composed for the upcoming Halloween sequel Halloween Kills. Sacred Bones also shared a track from the score called “Unkillable“. Now a second track from the score has arrived online – this one is called “Rampage”, and it was shared on John Carpenter’s YouTube channel! You can listen to the track in the embed below.

Sacred Bones is releasing the Halloween Kills score the same day the movie reaches theatres, October 15th.

Directed by David Gordon Green, Halloween 2018 (watch it HERE) ignored all of the other Halloween movies except for John Carpenter’s original (which you can watch HERE). Green returns to the helm for Halloween Kills, working from a screenplay he wrote with Danny McBride and Scott Teems. The film doesn’t have an official synopsis, but it’s said to be about

the creation of fear. It’s one thing to be afraid of the Boogeyman, to have someone who might be in the closet, under the bed, creeping around your house… But we wanted to explore next was confusion, misinformation, and paranoia. What happens when fear goes viral? You can’t just stick your head under the covers any more.”

Jamie Lee Curtis stars in the film as franchise heroine Laurie Strode, alongside Judy Greer as Laurie’s daughter Karen, Andi Matichak as Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, Dylan Arnold as Allyson’s boyfriend / Lonnie’s son Cameron, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion, Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett, Jibrail Nantambu as scene stealer Julian, child actress Victoria Paige Watkins as a character named Christy, and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers. Original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle also has a one scene cameo.

Green, McBride, and Curtis also serve as executive producers alongside Couper Samuelson and Carpenter. Jason Blum produced with Malek Akkad.

Halloween Kills is rated R for “strong bloody violence throughout, grisly images, language and some drug use”.
