John Carpenter back on the road for more Anthology Tour shows this October

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The Master of Horror himself John Carpenter has just announced over on Twitter that he will be heading back out onto the road with his musical act this October. The now legendary live-performances are based around his album Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998, featuring themes from 13 of his films. 

The new tour kicks off in Amsterdam October 10th and wraps up on Halloween night in Los Angeles. You can check out the limited set of dates in Carpenter's tweet below and over on the Sacred Bones Records site.  

John Carpenter Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 rundown:

John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 collects 13 classic themes from Carpenter’s illustrious career together on one volume for the first time. Each theme has been newly recorded with the same collaborators that Carpenter worked with on his hit Lost Themes studio albums: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies.

TRACK LISTING:

1. In the Mouth of Madness
2. Assault on Precinct 13
3. The Fog
