Haunting New "Michael's Legend" Track From John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN KILLS Soundtrack
Sacred Bones Records has released a new track from the upcoming Halloween Kills soundtrack. John Carpenter returned to score the film, and this track is called “Michael's Legend.” As you might expect, it’s quite haunting. The track is described as follows:
In contrast with the bombastic violence and unsettling ominosity of previously released cues 'Unkillable' and 'Rampage,' 'Michael's Legend' is a haunting piano requiem, highlighting the tumultuous emotional undercurrents at play in both the film and its accompanying soundtrack.
In the film, “minutes after Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.
“But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.
“The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all. Evil dies tonight.”
The movie was directed by David Gordon Green, and it also stars also stars Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Thomas Mann (Kong: Skull Island), Michael Myers actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney will also come back to their shared role. The film also includes Kyle Richards returning as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, and Nancy Stephens who will reprise her role as Nurse Marion. Then, of course, there’s Anthony Michael Hall in the role of Tommy Doyle.
The movie is set to be released on October 15, 2021, and while you wait, please take a moment to listen to and appreciate what Carpenter has created here.
