John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies "Halloween Ends: Expanded Edition" 2xLP

Orange w/ Red Splatter vinyl. 

John Carpenter’s soundtracks for the most recent Halloween trilogy, made alongside his frequent collaborators Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, marked the legendary director and composer’s return to film scoring after nearly two decades away. 2018’s Halloween, 2021’s Halloween Kills, and 2022’s Halloween Ends were all directed by David Gordon Green, who engaged Carpenter early in the pre-production process, ultimately enlisting him as both an executive producer and soundtrack composer for the trilogy.

2018’s Halloween was a hit beyond the wildest dreams of anyone involved. It opened to the biggest box office gross in Blumhouse’s history at the time, and the biggest in the history of the Halloween franchise. It was inevitable that a pair of sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, would soon be greenlit. Green signed on to direct both, but he didn’t want to assume that John, Cody, and Daniel would return to do the scores.
