Earlier this month, horror fans were given quite possibly the coolest Halloween treat of the year when John Carpenter stepped behind both the wheel and the camera for a music video featuring a new twist on the iconic score for 1982's Christine, part of Carpenter's upcoming album Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998. If your engine is still revved up from seeing the Master of Horror reunited with a 1958 Plymouth Fury scorned, then you'll want to check out a new behind-the-scenes video showing Carpenter directing the enthralling music video.
The behind-the-scenes video was shared on YouTube by Carpenter's wife and business partner, Sandy King Carpenter, and you can watch it below. In case you missed it, check here and read on for more details on Carpenter's new album and tour dates.
"The theme for "Christine" is available as a part of John Carpenter's 'Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998,' out October 20 on Sacred Bones Records.

Director: John Carpenter
Producer: Sandy King"Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998: "John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 collects 13 classic themes from Carpenter’s illustrious career together on one volume for the first time. Each theme has been newly recorded with the same collaborators that Carpenter worked with on his hit Lost Themes studio albums: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies.
