Laced Records Announces Limited Edition 6LP Set for ‘Silent Hill 2’ Remake
It’s a no-brainer that Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake is amazing. It’s also a no-brainer that the soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka is also amazing. So, it’s pretty obvious then what fans should do with Laced Records’ newly-announced Limited Edition 6LP box set of the Silent Hill 2 remake.
Konami has teamed up again with Laced Records for this release, which features the complete 93-track Silent Hill 2 soundtrack specially mastered for vinyl. Available now for pre-order, this set features a Laced-exclusive opaque brown + red A-side/B-side effect heavyweight LPs, and a 32-page art booklet with exclusive liner notes written by Akira Yamaoka, with artwork by Bloober Team.
For those who aren’t aware, Akira Yamaoka completely reworked his original 2001 soundtrack for Bloober Team’s remake. Featuring brand new and re-recorded cues, the soundtrack once again perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere of the eponymous town.
“After nearly a quarter of a century, Silent Hill 2 has been revived. I’ve poured a tremendous amount of thought and passion into this thing called Silent Hill,” says Akira Yamaoka. “Touching it again evoked a special emotion I had never felt before—as if I was touching the breath of God. Writing this music was a personal challenge, but I feel a deep sense of gratitude towards the people around the world who have loved this series for so long.”
Also available to pre-order is a double LP set featuring 27 tracks sequenced by the composer. These Laced-exclusive milky clear heavyweight LPs come in printed inner sleeves, all housed in a widespined outer sleeve.
The Limited Edition 6LP set will set you back $155USD, while the double LP set is $42 USD. Both sets are expected to ship October 2025.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
