8 Things We Want From Halloween Kills

2. Another Epic John Carpenter Score

Halloween Kills 1280 720

One of the highlights of the Halloween franchise as a whole has always been the music. The series lucked out when John Carpenter played the 5/4 time structure on piano and created an iconic horror theme.

Since then hearing how other composers change or incorporate that theme into their own Halloween score has always been one of the most exciting surprises of the series.

The film world rejoiced when it was announced that Carpenter would be returning to score 2018's Halloween, marking his first involvement with the franchise in 36 years. Audiences couldn't wait to hear just how he'd revamp his classic score when playing the iconic theme once again.

Needless to say, he didn't disappoint and the music is one of the most praised aspects of the 2018 film. Carpenter masterfully walks the line of creating a new sound while incorporating his classic elements. The updated cues are much more aggressive mixing in guitars and distortion, whilst some of the newer compositions like The Shape Hunts Allyson became instant classics.

And guess what? We want more! With the confirmation that Carpenter is scoring both Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends it's fair to say expectations and hype for the score are ridiculously high. Everyone wants to hear how Carpenter will no doubt perfectly compliment a sequel he has described as "dark," "terrifying" and "insane."

Hi! The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a HUGE horror movie nut. A confirmed addict to the WhatCulture Horror YouTube channel I thought I'd try my luck on their writing team. I'm a wannabe author with one completed manuscript submitted to a few agents. Please cross your fingers for me! I am currently working on my second book. If you wanna talk horror or need any movie recommendations, I'm your man! Give me a follow on Instagram... since there doesn't seem to be a section for that in the "socials" tab @that_horror_nerd
