John Carpenter has released the video he created to accompany his Christine movie theme.
The track has been lifted from his Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 album, which arrives on October 20 via Sacred Bones and follows an audio clip of In The Mouth Of Madness.
Carpenter describes the track as “electronica for a killer car” and adds: “Most of the soundtrack for Christine was 1950’s rock’n’roll, with a main title appearance of George Thorogood and the Destroyers’ Bad To The Bone. I filled in where necessary.”
The album contains 13 tracks from across the acclaimed director’s career, starting with his science fiction debut Dark Star and ending with his supernatural Western Vampires.
Each track has been newly recorded, with Carpenter once again working with his son Cody and godson Daniel Davies on the album, which is now available for pre-order.
He’ll commence a run of North American tour dates on October 29 – full list below.
