Mondo has revealed details for their upcoming vinyl soundtracks for Elliot Goldenthal‘s Pet Sematary and Jerry Goldsmith‘s The Omen, both of which will go on sale tomorrow!

The soundtrack for Pet Sematary comes on the film’s 25th anniversary and is being hailed as, “…the most comprehensive version of the soundtrack to date…”, featuring two tracks from The Ramones that were previously unreleased on the soundtrack. There will be a standard black edition and there will be randomly inserted green/blue vinyl with black haze.

When it comes to The Omen, fans will remember that Mondo released that soundtrack last year. However, what happened was they offered a black/red striped variant that ultimately had audio issues and were not released. Rather, they were used as ammunition at MondoCon’s Shaun Of The Dead “record throwing” booth.

Now, Mondo is happy to announce that they have 700 copies of the striped variant that will go on sale tomorrow. As an owner of a different variant, I can safely say that the packaging and quality is stellar! Definitely worth the investment!

Head below for a gallery and for vinyl details.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
