At first I thought, “Is this a joke? I’ve been trick or treated to death today..” and then low and behold- I didn’t know what death was until I legit just about had a heart attack over this glorious news from Mondo. The first five wonderful films of the Halloween franchise are getting a beautiful vinyl soundtrack release with exclusive new art AND a slipcase only available through the company that will hold all five stunning records for the ultimate packaging!
Me running to get money in the bank…
Starting tomorrow July 25th, the long-awaited Halloween 4 and 5 soundtracks will be available for purchase through MondoTees.com with a cool option to bundle the pair and get that slipcase mentioned above FREE with that purchase!
Per MONDO:
Mondo Music is kicking off the witching season early this year. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original HALLOWEEN, Mondo and Death Waltz Recording Company are re-issuing the soundtracks to the first five HALLOWEEN franchise films on vinyl beginning this week. The long-awaitedre-issues of HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS and HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS, available for the first time on vinyl in 30 years, will go on sale Wednesday, July 25 at MondoTees.com. In addition to the records, a slipcase to hold all five soundtracks will ship free with the purchase of the HALLOWEEN 4 and 5 soundtrack bundle. The re-issues continue with one release a month, concluding this October with the original John Carpenter score to the 1978 classic that started it all. The audio for all five releases has been re-mastered and the previously released versions of Mondo’s HALLOWEEN, HALLOWEEN II, and HALLOWEEN III soundtracks will feature all new artwork.
