Mondo Bringing Remasters of the First Five ‘Halloween’ Franchise Scores to Vinyl, Beginning With 4 & 5
To celebrate 40 years of the Halloween franchise, Mondo announces today that they’re thrilled to bring you the first five, newly-remastered Halloween scores on vinyl with slipcase designed by Mike Saputo. They kick things off this week with their long awaited reissues of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.
Subsequently, Mondo will be continuing 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 these releases have all been re-mastered and the previously released vinyl versions of Halloween, Halloween II and Halloween III will feature all new artwork.
HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP. Music by Alan Howarth. Original artwork by Gary Pullin. Liner notes by J. Blake Fichera. Pressed on 180 Gram Clown Costume Red & White vinyl. Housed inside a 425gsm gatefold jacket. $32
“To celebrate 40 years of the HALLOWEEN franchise, Death Waltz Recording Company is thrilled to bring you a newly re-mastered version of the score to HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS on vinyl for the first time in 30 years, mastered in 2018 by Alan Howarth. This score marked the first time Howarth was working solo within the HALLOWEEN franchise and he takes the blueprint he and John Carpenter created, but weaves new themes for both Jamie and Michael within the familiar framework of the 5/4 theme timing.”
HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP. Music by Alan Howarth. Original artwork by Randy Ortiz. Liner notes by J. Blake Fichera. Pressed on 180 Gram Michael Myers Blue & White vinyl. Housed inside a 425gsm gatefold jacket. $32
“HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS has again been freshly re-mastered by composer Alan Howarth for this first vinyl re-issue in 30 years. He once again takes the familiar HALLOWEEN blueprint but expands it greatly utilizing layers of synths to create a fresh take on something that is familiar to all fans of the franchise.”
In addition to the records themselves, Mondo has produced a slipcase featuring artwork by Mike Saputo that ALL FIVE releases will sit in. The slipcase will ship free to anyone who buys the Halloween 4 and 5 bundle, selling collectively for $60.

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
