Up for auction is a set of 2 vinyl 12" singles put out by Sacred Bones Records in 2016, John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN / ESCAPE FROM NY and ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 / THE FOG. The main themes from some of the master of horror's most celebrated movies, re-recorded by his current band with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. 

Here's a great opportunity to own both! (The HALLOWEEN one is not out-of-print and came with random colored vinyl.) 

Press releases for both records below!

John Carpenter, Halloween b/w Escape From New York 12" - Much of the power of the best films by the cult director John Carpenter can be attributed to their use of music — music that, more often than not, was composed and performed by Carpenter himself. What began as a necessity for the low-budget productions by Carpenter became a major part of his aesthetic, and established him as a pioneering figure in genre-film score work as well as electronic music in general. Now, flanked by his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, and with two albums (Lost Themes and Lost Themes II) of non-soundtrack material under his belt, Carpenter has decided to revisit some of his most beloved themes.

This 12" release includes the themes to Halloween and Escape From New York, newly rerecorded by Carpenter and his Lost Themes bandmates. May it serve as a bridge between the Horror Master’s legendary, still relevant past and his remarkable present.
