Like most of Carpenter's films, THEY LIVE has an urban Western feel to it, which is further emphasized by the infectious score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarpenter and Howarth's main theme conjures up images of a lone cowboy entering town, with the main melody augmented by the sounds of harmonica and saxophone. There's a carefree attitude, which reflects \u003cstrong\u003eRowdy Roddy Piper\u003c\/strong\u003e's character, but the score takes on a more sinister tone when he realizes he doesn't know anything about what's really going on. Carpenter's signature synth tones create an uncomfortable atmosphere, but the main bass line is always fighting against them, never giving up. The electric guitar is used fleetingly, but brilliantly, and the whole score embodies the mentality of rebelling against authority that Carpenter is famous for. \u003cstrong\u003eTHEY LIVE will rock your world without the need for a Brazilian plastic surgeon to put you back together again\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue Broadcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComing To L.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Message\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Siege Of Justiceville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn To Church\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Out Of Bubble Gum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack To The Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKidnapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransient Hotel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWake Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Tracks Preview Available on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile Only*\u003c\/em\u003e \u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3ldkTlPMocOmBg1YRg2ASb?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Carpenter \u0026 Alan Howarth","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Pink","offer_id":43584557351103,"sku":"DW130-PK","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP \/ Eco","offer_id":41811531235519,"sku":"DW130-ECO","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/products\/37--TheyLive_48fec85a-dc38-4138-a714-91b76aeb2187.jpg?v=1658278495"},{"product_id":"halloween-iii-season-of-the-witch-john-carpenter-alan-howarth-lp","title":"Halloween III: Season Of The Witch","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePressed on Black Eco Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtwork by Alan Hynes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMusic to the 1982 film directed by Tommy Lee Wallace\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRELEASE DESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeath Waltz Recording Co. is delighted to revisit not only one of our favorite HALLOWEEN sequels but one of our favorite sequels period. It’s been a long, hard road for HALLOWEEN III: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH to be accepted within the HALLOWEEN franchise, but it is now widely considered to be one of the best horror movies of the ‘80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging for this release is also completely singular and jaw-dropping; designed by Alan Hynes (the wizard behind our FIGHT CLUB and ANOMALISA releases) it’s unlike all of our other re-issues in this series. It’s still designed to fit in the collectors box and really helps solidify what an outlier HALLOWEEN III is in the overall series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film is unique not only due to it lacking Michael Myers (save for a brief appearance on a TV screen) but also for its score. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth completely jettisoned their previous work and delivered nothing short of an electronic masterpiece. The lead track ‘Chariots Of Pumpkins’ is an epic 4\/4 beat-driven synth-banger that has regularly been played by DJs over the last 10 years. The rest of the score features lush pads, Linn drums aplenty, and veers from beautiful blissed-out ambient drones to sinister stinger-driven mood pieces. Absolutely outstanding stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalloween III: Season Of The Witch - Main Titles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChariots of Pumpkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas Station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobot Kills Grimbridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEllie Enters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive to Santa Mira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallis and Starker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarge Revealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Shamrock - Two More Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobots at the Factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Chase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHello Grandma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Shamrock - 1 More Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Mira Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCochran Speaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Shamrock - Happy Happy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallis Escapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouth Corridor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalloween III - Titles and Chariots (Alt Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/10nXp7CzkrCbAtuCO8aWtm?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Carpenter \u0026 Alan Howarth","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":43523064070335,"sku":"DW008E-BK","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/tmp_2F1535581706751-43zeugq75aj-7abafaabb2b8ba01170bf304f4a6af18_2Fdeathwaltz008R_974x_f25efcec-0e95-4dec-b652-e5db911125c1.jpg?v=1720515416"},{"product_id":"halloween-2-john-carpenter-alan-howarth-lp","title":"Halloween 2","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePressed on Black Eco Vinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtwork by Paul Mann\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eMusic to the 1981 film directed by Rick Rosenthal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRELEASE DESCRIPTION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeath Waltz Recording Company is proud to present the return of one of horror’s scariest boogeymen, as well as one of the genre’s most iconic theme tunes with John Carpenter and Alan Howarth’s score to HALLOWEEN II. Set directly after the events of the first film, Rick Rosenthal’s sequel sets itself up as the slasher equivalent of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, making a family connection between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers while getting some good kills in at the same time. Carpenter and Howarth’s score is beefier and more intense than before, using layers of electronics to drive the audience to madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs before, Myers aka “The Shape” is propelled by that theme, souped up with a new and more powerful arrangement from Carpenter and Howarth. HALLOWEEN II is more overtly synth and is perhaps less focused than the original score, although that certainly means it’s nastier and more schizophrenic. The score also brings back the evocative ’Laurie’s Theme’, incorporating into a score full of harrowing musical effect, its synthesized howls and wails piercing your ears so that by the time ‘Mr. Sandman’ comes around, you’ll feel just like the final girl, delirious at having survived the aural ordeal. And that’s just when The Shape wakes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalloween Theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaurie's Theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe Knows Where She Is!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaurie And Jimmy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill He Kills (Murder Montage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shape Enters Laurie's Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMrs. Alves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlats In The Parking Lot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael's Sister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shape Stalks Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Operating Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5ZbzRxYCam8JSFYVj7AY1L?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Carpenter \u0026 Alan Howarth","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":43523064299711,"sku":"DW007F-BK","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/tmp_2F1537309790738-n793sgqi9w-bd6df23fb006165a60f2bcd08f2699d8_2FAlbum_2BCover_974x_3922b3a9-f2a2-40e1-91bf-ffe3e863ffe3.jpg?v=1720515422"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-john-carpenter-alan-howarth.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
