To create its music, Carpenter teamed up with frequent collaborators Daniel Davies and his son Cody Carpenter. The score pays homage to Carpenter’s classic 1978 soundtrack by incorporating several new versions of the iconic theme.

“We wanted to honour the original Halloween soundtrack in terms of the sounds we used,” explains Daniela Davies. “We used a lot of the Dave Smith OB-6, bowed guitar, Roland Juno, Korg, Roli, Moog, Roland System 1, Roland System 8, different guitar pedals, mellotron, and piano.”
