*Village of the Damned (Deluxe Edition) by John Carpenter & Dave Davies
Village of the Damned (Deluxe Edition) features extended cues, film versions of the score and the original 1995 soundtrack. Composed by John Carpenter and Kinks guitarist Dave Davies, this is a dark and suspenseful electronic score mixed with live instruments. Carpenter described their score as one of the most full, romantic scores he’d ever done. “My job as a composer is to support the drama, unify sequences, and heighten suspense.” This 36-track album is also available on CD.

*Dolores Claiborne (Deluxe Edition) by Danny Elfman
One of the most important and impressive film scores of Danny Elfman's career, Dolores Claiborne is an often overlooked and grossly underappreciated score from the maestro. Not only does it depart from Elfman’s characteristic style both aurally and compositionally, but it also displays Elfman’s maturity as a filmmaker and storyteller using music to define, paint and coax a psychological narrative. The Deluxe Edition greatly expands the soundtrack from 9 to 31 tracks and is also available on CD.

The Haunting (Deluxe Edition) by Jerry Goldsmith
Academy Award®–winning composer Jerry Goldsmith’s classic score for Jan de Bont’s 1999 remake of The Haunting, based on Shirley Jackson’s acclaimed novel by the same name. The Deluxe Edition soundtrack is remastered and sounding better than ever, with over twice as many tracks as the original release. The CD version is sold out, so thankfully, you can now stream this popular title digitally.
