Waxwork Recordsis thrilled to present the40th Anniversary Original Score release of John Carpenters THE FOG.The Fog is a 1980 American supernatural horror film directed, co-written, and scored by John Carpenter.It stars Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh, and Hal Holbrook. It tells the story ofa strange, glowing fogthat sweeps over a small coastal town in California, bringing with it the vengeful ghosts of mariners who were killed in a shipwreck 100 years before.

The film is considereda cult classic and a favorite among horror fans. The Fog was Tom Atkins first appearance in a Carpenter film. He later appeared in other Carpenter films such as Escape From New York and Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Jamie Lee Curtis, who was the main star of Carpenters 1978 horror classic, Halloween, appears in The Fog as Elizabeth.

The music toThe Fogby John Carpenter is asynth-driven, minimalist score. The director/composerconsiders it to be one of his best musical works. Itfeatures dark, ambient drones, and piano, and utilizes heavy usage of early synthesizers such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Prophet 10, and Minimoog Model D. Carpenter strived to achieve a softer, understated fear rather than a heavy-handed, and obvious musical composition to a horror film. The now classic score successfully captures the haunting emptiness of the 1980 gothic ghost story to The Fog.
