Waxwork Records' deluxe reissue of Ennio Morricone's score to John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) stands as one of the most sought-after vinyl film score releases in the genre. Morricone's composition perfectly mirrors Carpenter's Antarctic horror masterpiece starring Kurt Russell and Wilford Brimley. Notably, The Thing is one of the rare Carpenter films he did not score himself, making Morricone's work all the more iconic.
This pressing features the complete score remastered from the original master tapes on "Trapped Under Ice" Blue Haze with White Splatter vinyl, artwork by Phantom City Creative, a deluxe heavyweight satin-coated old-style gatefold jacket with UV spot-gloss varnish, and an 11" x 17" poster.
