“Extended Shooting Range”
“Jog to a Hanging Dog”
“Allyson and Friends at School”

Although director David Gordon Green’s Halloween – the most successful slasher film in the history of cinema (having just crossed $229 million at the global box office) may still be in theaters, it appears that Universal Pictures have made ready the film’s release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K for early 2019.

We noticed last week that pre-order listings for the film (which originally included a January 15th, 2019 release date, which we predict it will continue to be) appeared on Best Buy, one for a Blu-ray Steelbook version available for $32.99 – click here, and one for a standard Blu-ray with digital copy, priced at $22.99 – click here. You can check out the box art for both below (with more details to come as we get them).

No word yet on what the extras are, but here’s to hoping that they’ll include the original ending and the first act shower scene (moments of which can be seen in the film’s marketing materials).

Myers Menaces on First Cover of Re-launched Fangoria Magazine

by

Last night HalloweenMovies.com attended the re-launch party for revered Fangoria magazine in Burbank, CA, and with the 114-page issue jam-packed with Halloween goodness, here’s a peek within.

Held at Slashback Video (the celebrated faux indie horror video rental shop art installation created by Ciara Aumentado and Halloween 2018 co-producer Ryan Turek, which is housed within Magnolia Park’s Bearded Lady’s Mystic Museum), the re-launch was hosted by Fangoria’s new publisher Dallas Sonnier and Editor-in-Chief Phil Nobil Jr., and included (among the dozens of attendees) Halloween 2018 executive producer Ryan Freimann and Academy-award winning FX artist and Myers mask sculptor Chris Nelson.

First published in 1979, Fangoria served as essential monthly reading for horror fans worldwide, until its collapse in 2015 due to financial woes.  With the assets of Fangoria having subsequently been purchased by Texas-based entertainment company Cinestate, the genre mag has now however returned as a quarterly publication, and it’s first issue is chock full of Haddonfield horror, with no less than seven articles on the series, including set visit coverage to David Gordon Green’s upcoming Halloween.

Additional Myers-centric articles include The Two Shapes Speak (an interview with actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney), David Gordon Green: Detour through Haddonfield (an interview with the writer and director), articles titled The Changing Shape and Halloween’s Abandoned Continuity (which delve into the franchise’s various installments and narratives), The Bastard Sons (and Daughters) of Michael Myers (a look at the original film’s impact on the slasher genre) and Lifers: My Myers House, which focuses on North Carolina resident Kenny Caperton’s recreation of the Pasadena, CA home which appeared in John Carpenter’s 1978 classic.

In addition, the magazine’s heavy with images from the latest Halloween, including the exclusive cover photo by Dan Winters.

John Carpenter Announced Release Date for New Halloween OST Album

by

The Master of Horror, John Carpenter, has announced the impending release of the original soundtrack album for  Halloween—in which Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.  The album arrives on  October 19 from Sacred Bones, the same day that the new David Gordon Green-directed film is released in theaters.

Halloween is the first film in the canon to have Carpenter involved since 1982’s Halloween III. He serves as an executive producer,  creative consultant, and, thrillingly, as a soundtrack composer—alongside his collaborators from his three recent solo albums, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.

The new soundtrack pays homage to the classic Halloween score that Carpenter composed and recorded in 1978, when he forever changed the course of horror cinema and synthesizer music with his low-budget masterpiece. 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 equally 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: “We wanted to honor the original Halloween soundtrack in terms of the sounds we used,” Davies explained. “We used a lot of the Dave Smith OB-6, bowed guitar, Roland Juno, Korg, Roli, Moog, Roland System 1, Roland System 8, different guitar pedals, mellotron, and piano.”

Unlike the Lost Themes albums, Halloween saw the Carpenters and Davies collaborating on music set to images for the first time. Though it marked a significant change from their previous creative process, the trio thrived under the constraints and tight deadlines that film scoring work demands. For Carpenter, who reunited on the new film with original Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis, composing the score felt like a homecoming. “It was great,” Carpenter said of the experience. “It was transforming. It was not a movie I directed, so I had a lot of freedom in creating the score and getting into the director’s head. I was proud to serve David Gordon Green’s vision.”

The band will embark on a European tour in support of the new soundtrack and other recent releases this October, culminating with an exclusive US show on Halloween at the Palladium in Los Angeles. For the live shows Carpenter is joined by a stellar band, comprised of his son Cody Carpenter on synthesizer, his godson Daniel Davies on guitar, John Spiker on bass, John Konesky on guitar, and Scott Seiver on drums.
