ジョン・カーペンターが、長年の共同制作者であるコディ・カーペンターとダニエル・デイヴィスと共に手掛けた、最新の『ハロウィン』三部作のサウンドトラックは、伝説的な監督兼作曲家が約20年ぶりに映画音楽制作に復帰したことを示すものとなった。2018年公開の『ハロウィン』、2021年公開の『ハロウィン KILLS』、2022年公開の『ハロウィン THE END』は全てデイヴィッド・ゴードン・グリーン監督作品であり、彼は製作準備段階の早い段階でカーペンターを起用。最終的に三部作の製作総指揮兼サウンドトラック作曲家として迎え入れた。
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.
In listening to the recent Halloween scores, the collaborative spirit among the composing trio is one of the first things that jumps out. The now-famous bowed guitar part on Halloween's "The Shape Hunts Allyson," like all the guitar parts strewn across the trilogy, is played by Daniel Davies. John calls Daniel "the adventurer" of the group, and credits him with introducing sounds he'd never have considered. Cody, who his father refers to as a "musical savant," is an equally essential presence. It's his steady, methodical hand that helps give shape to the ideas that fly around when these three get in a room together. The scores for the new films may be centered on familiar themes, but they're also a lot more sonically diverse and musically audacious than anything John could have pulled off in 1978, when he made the original Halloween.
In addition to the individual expanded releases, the Halloween Expanded Trilogy will be available as part of a deluxe limited box set, offered in 6xLP and 3xCD formats. These editions feature exclusive new packaging and artwork by Chris Bilheimer, along with expansive liner notes by music critic Brad Sanders, which include exclusive interviews with John Carpenter and director David Gordon Green. Also included on both box sets are three collectible posters designed by Creepy Duck, a box set-exclusive poster design by Chris Bilheimer, and a deluxe lenticular cover that brings the artwork to life.
An essential release for Carpenter collectors & film score fans.

トラックリスト近年の『ハロウィン』シリーズのスコアを聴くと、作曲トリオの協働精神がまず際立つ。『ハロウィン』の"ザ・シェイプ・ハンツ・アリソン"で有名な弓奏ギターパートをはじめ、三部作全体に散りばめられたギターパートは全てダニエル・デイヴィスが担当している。ジョンはダニエルを「グループの冒険家」と呼び、自身が考えもしなかった音を導入してくれたと称賛する。父が「音楽の天才児」と呼ぶコディもまた不可欠な存在だ。三人が一堂に会した際に飛び交うアイデアを形にするのは、彼の着実で緻密な手腕による。新作映画のスコアは馴染み深いテーマを中心に据えつつも、1978年にオリジナル『ハロウィン』を制作した当時のジョンが成し得たものよりも、音の多様性と音楽的な大胆さが格段に増している。
個々の拡張版に加え、『ハロウィン・エクスパンデッド・トリロジー』はデラックス限定ボックスセットとして6枚組LP版と3枚組CD版で発売されます。これらのエディションには、クリス・ビルハイマーによる限定の新パッケージとアートワークに加え、音楽評論家ブラッド・サンダースによる詳細なライナーノーツが収録されており、ジョン・カーペンターとデヴィッド・ゴードン・グリーン監督への独占インタビューが含まれています。両ボックスセットには、クリーピー・ダックによる3種類のコレクターズポスター、クリス・ビルハイマーによるボックスセット限定ポスターデザイン、アートワークを立体的に表現するデラックス・レンチキュラーカバーも同梱。
