Terror Vision Records Bringing “Freddy’s Nightmares” Soundtrack to Vinyl for First Time Ever This Friday!
Back in 1988, the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise made its way to the small screen with “Freddy’s Nightmares,” a horror anthology series hosted by Robert Englund‘s Freddy Krueger that memorably kicked off with a Freddy prequel tale directed by Tobe Hooper. The series ran for two seasons from 1988 to 1990, and we’re still waiting on a DVD/Blu-ray release.
In the meantime, we’re excited to break the news this afternoon that our friends over at Terror Vision Records will be bringing the “Freddy’s Nightmares” soundtrack to vinyl!
The Original Broadcast Soundtrack will be available for the first time ever on any format with this Terror Vision release, and it’ll be available as a “best of” LP or triple LP that comes complete with a full “Freddy’s Nightmares” episode guide. A special bundle will also include a t-shirt, 4 holographic stickers, and two enamel pins. It launches at 12pm EST on November 12!
You’ll find the “Freddy’s Nightmares” LP only over on Terror Vision’s website this Friday.
Check out a fun retro-style commercial that the team whipped up for the release, which is hosted by none other than “Sharp Hand Joe,” based on the classic Freddy Krueger bootleg toy!
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.”
