Ennio Morricone’s score for John Carpenter’s The Thing remains one of the most chilling soundtracks in film history. Sparse, pulsing, and unnervingly quiet at times, it perfectly mirrors the paranoia and isolation of Carpenter’s Antarctic horror classic.
Remastered for a New Generation
This reissue brings the haunting soundscape back to life with a brand-new remaster, offering listeners unparalleled clarity and depth. Morricone’s blend of electronic minimalism and modern classical orchestration has never sounded more vivid.
The Sound of Unease
From the deep, heartbeat-like throb of its opening motif to the icy experimental passages that dissolve into silence, the score captures the creeping dread of the unknown. It is music designed not just to accompany terror—but to create it.
Essential for Collectors
Pressed on a striking “Trapped Under Ice” vinyl edition, this release is more than a soundtrack—it’s a piece of cinematic history preserved for vinyl enthusiasts, horror fans, and admirers of Morricone’s genius.
