Movie-loving geeks everywhere already know the name Mondo as the go-to place for high-quality, insanely awesome, limited-edition posters and prints featuring films ranging from classics like The Exorcist and Star Wars to modern masterpieces like Drive and Django Unchained. Their stable of artists, including Martin Ansin, Olly Moss, Tyler Stout, and Tom Whalen, have become superstars, with folks lining up at the outfit’s Austin, Texas gallery openings to catch a quick glance at their latest work. And their limited-edition runs (which go on sale at random times announced by their @MondoNews Twitter account) often sell out within two or three minutes. A few, like Olly Moss’s Star Wars trilogy set, sold out in under a minute, as fanboys everywhere refreshed their browsers furiously hoping to score some geek gold.

Over the past year or so, Mondo has added vinyl soundtracks to their growing list of products, and the offerings have helped spawn a resurgence of vinyl soundtrack collecting online. Previous horror releases like The Deadly Spawn, Poltergeist, and Maniac (2013) have brought home beautiful, thick 180 Gram vinyl with artwork by artists like Phantom City Creative, We Buy Your Kids, and Jeff Proctor.

All those previously releases, however, are about to be blown out of the water, as we exclusively announce Mondo’s October 31 release of one of the most influential and beloved movie soundtracks of all time: John Carpenter’s Halloween!

Halloween’s original motion-picture soundtrack by John Carpenter comes in a 2x LP in a Delu Gatefold packaging with artwork by Phantom City Creative. The record itself is a 180 Gram black vinyl, with randomly inserted orange vinyl, cut at 45RPM. Mondo’s release is a monumental one, as this is the first time that Carpenter’s Halloween has ever been released on vinyl in its full version. It will be the most comprehensive vinyl release of Halloween ever.

So get your refresh buttons ready, and make sure you follow @MondoNews prior to the October 31 release date. Maybe you’ll even get lucky enough to get one of the random orange variants. Check out the full track listing and additional images below.
