Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the deluxe film score reissue to 1982’s sci-fi horror classic, John Carpenter's THE THING. Composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone, the score to THE THING is a landmark musical composition that is cold, dark, minimal, and effective.
Considered to be John Carpenter’s directorial masterpiece, THE THING is praised as one of the greatest films of it’s genre by both fans and critics. Starring Kurt Russell and A. Wilford Brimley, THE THING follows a team of researchers in Antarctica as they are infiltrated by a parasitic extraterrestrial life form that assimilates other organisms and then imitates them. The classic soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone effectively captures the cold, isolated tone of the story and film, and marks one of the few John Carpenter directed films that Carpenter did not score himself.
Waxwork Records worked to ensure that such a highly anticipated and sought after vinyl film core re-issue would meet and exceed expectations.
Features include the complete Ennio Morricone score re-mastered from the original master tapes, "Trapped Under Ice" colored vinyl, artwork by Phantom City Creative, deluxe heavyweight packaging including satin coated old-style gatefold jackets with UV spot-gloss varnish, and an 11" x 17" poster.

トラックリスト氷の中から発見されたエイリアンと南極基地の隊員との死闘を描いた、ＳＦホラーの古典「遊星よりの物体Ｘ」のリメイクで、よりキャンベルの原作に近い。その恐怖は一匹の犬から始まった。見渡す限り氷に囲まれた白銀の大雪原をヘリコプターに追われて逃げる犬は、アメリカの南極観測基地へと辿りつく。ヘリコプターを操縦するノルウエー隊員が銃を乱射したため、アメリカ隊員はやむおえず彼を撃ち殺すが、やがて、ノルウエー隊員が異状に錯乱していた理由が明らかになる。なんと犬の正体は10万年前に地球に飛来したエイリアンだったのだ!接触するものを体内に取り込むエイリアンは、巧みに人間の姿に変身、吹雪に閉ざされた基地内で、隊員たちは互いに疑心暗鬼になっていく。そんな中、彼らは挙動不審なマクレディをエイリアンではないかと疑うが・・。
