Spooktober Rewind: Slashers and Synthwaves

Listen Later

This episode originally aired October 31st, 2020.

John Carpenter is often referred to as the master of horror. His iconic Halloween franchise defined the slasher film formula for decades to come. But for fans of synthwave music (and the use of synth in cinema), we have Carpenter to thank for that as well. His extremely effective use of synths to build atmosphere and heighten tension in his films went on to influence countless synthwave artists and film composers. On this Halloween bonus episode of No Filler, we listen to a couple tracks from his 1982 score for Halloween III, and talk about his legacy in both film and music.

Tracklist:

  1. "The Fog Theme"
  2. "Chariots of Pumpkins" (Halloween III)
  3. "Local Boy, No Way" (Halloween III)
  4. "The Upside Down" (Stranger Things)
  5. "Halloween Theme"
