Waxwork Records – John Carpenter’s The Thing

Introducing the deluxe film score reissue for the 1982 sci-fi horror classic, John Carpenter’s THE THING, featuring the iconic and haunting composition by the legendary Ennio Morricone.

Widely regarded as John Carpenter’s directorial masterpiece, THE THING has earned praise from both fans and critics, establishing itself as one of the greatest films in its genre. Starring Kurt Russell and A. Wilford Brimley, the storyline follows a team of researchers in Antarctica who face a parasitic extraterrestrial life form that assimilates and imitates other organisms.

Ennio Morricone’s classic soundtrack, while different from Carpenter’s usual compositions, effectively captures the cold and isolated ambiance of the film. This reissue by Waxwork Records ensures that fans can experience the score in its full glory with a meticulously remastered edition.

The features of this highly anticipated vinyl film score reissue include the complete Ennio Morricone score, available in “Antarctic Swirl” colored vinyl housed within a deluxe breakaway ice slipcase or “Alien Blood and Bone” colored vinyl. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Phantom City Creative, complements the film’s eerie aesthetic. The deluxe packaging includes satin-coated old-style gatefold jackets with UV spot-gloss varnish, providing a tactile and visual treat for collectors. Additionally, each package comes with an 11” x 17” poster, completing the immersive experience for fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
