Mondo Music is kicking off the witching season early this year. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Halloween, Mondo and Death Waltz Recording Company are re-issuing the soundtracks to the first five Halloween franchise films on vinyl. The long-awaited re-issues of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, available for the first time on vinyl in 30 years, are on sale now at MondoTees.com
In addition to the records, a slipcase to hold all five soundtracks will ship free with the purchase of the Halloween 4 & 5 soundtrack bundle. The re-issues continue 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 all five releases has been re-mastered and the previously released versions of Mondo’s Halloween, Halloween II and Halloween III: The Season of the Witch soundtracks will feature all new artwork.
