HALLOWEEN II (original soundtrack)
JOHN CARPENTER & ALAN HOWARTH
death waltz recording co
Carpenter and Howarth's score is beefier and more intense than before, using layers of electronics to drive the audience to madness.
‘HALLOWEEN II’ is more overtly synth and is perhaps less focused than the original score, although that certainly means it's nastier and more schizophrenic. The score also brings back the evocative 'Laurie's Theme', incorporating into a score full of harrowing musical effect, its synthesised howls and wails piercing your ears so that by the time 'Mr. Sandman' comes around, you'll feel just like the final girl, delirious at having survived the aural ordeal.
