John Carpenter should be no stranger to any fan of horror and science fiction movies.He made his name creating iconic classics likeHalloween,The Fog, andEscape from New Yorkin the 1970s and 80s. One of the things that made his films stand out were the soundtracks, whichCarpenteroftenhad a huge hand in crafting. We’ve seen a lot of those classics get reissued over the past few years and often wondered what Carpenter has been up to. Fortunately, Sacred Bones were able to get their hands on new material that Carpenter had recorded with his son, Cody.Lost Themesis vintage Carpenter with a slightly updated sound. Quality material from a true master.
