John Carpenter announces the release of a new collection, Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988)

Anthology II is a sequenced collection of some of his most iconic pieces of music from his extensive filmography, all newly recorded with his musical collaborators Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter. The accompanying visualiser for the release of "Chariots of Pumpkins" was made by Adam Fuchs and Chris Bilheimer.

Speaking on the track, Carpenter comments: “This piece was made for someone else’s movie, the Tommy Lee Wallace directed Halloween III. I don’t remember what his specific direction for me was for the main titles, but I wanted to reflect a kind of science fiction feel. The sound has been updated and it was fun to redo this song. The three of us using modern and updated sounds and production has influenced the overall feel of the song.”
