The chilling theme song of Michael Myers is back with a vengeance.

John Carpenter's ballad everyone associates with the masked psychopath debuted Wednesday, ahead of the release of the highly anticipated “Halloween” reboot (in theaters Oct. 19.)

Carpenter's son, Cody, shared the news on Facebook: "Check out The Shape Returns from the new Halloween!"

Jamie Lee Curtis’ horror heroine Laurie Strode meets Myers again, 40 years after their first faceoff in the 1978 classic. But in the new movie, directed by David Gordon Green, Strode is anything but a victim.

In his ★★★ out of four review, USA TODAY's Brian Truitt says that, "While it sticks mainly to the usual successful template, sending Michael on a slashing, slicing murder spree through Haddonfield, Illinois, Green’s worthy revamp is also a nuanced look at mass tragedy in America through the lens of a survivor forever haunted by one deadly incident."
