The 2022 reissue of Pino Donaggio’s Carrie soundtrack offers a revitalized experience of the classic 1976 horror film’s music. This edition features remastered tracks that enhance the original compositions’ depth and clarity, allowing listeners to appreciate the intricate orchestration and emotive melodies anew.
Donaggio’s score masterfully balances intense, suspenseful pieces with elegant, hauntingly beautiful themes, effectively capturing the film’s dramatic shifts between terror and innocence. The iconic “Theme from Carrie” stands out with its melancholic yet serene quality, providing a poignant contrast to the more ominous tracks like “Bucket of Blood” and “School in Flames.”
This reissue not only preserves the original’s atmospheric tension but also enriches the listening experience through improved sound quality. For both long-time fans and newcomers, the 2022 edition of the Carrie soundtrack serves as a testament to Donaggio’s enduring contribution to film music, reaffirming the score’s status as a seminal work in horror cinema.
Waxwork Records is thrilled to present CARRIE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Pino Donaggio! Expanded and re-mastered, this deluxe double LP album marks the very first time that the complete film music has been released on vinyl. Carrie is a 1976 Horror film adapted from author Stephen King’s very first published novel of the same name. The movie stars Sissy Spacek and is directed by Brian De Palma (Scarface, Phantom Of The Paradise).
The score by legendary composer Pino Donaggio (The Howling, Tourist Trap) skillfully captures the pressure of forced innocence, the humor of teen drama, and the trauma of coming of age as a girl in 1970’s America. The album also features the tracks “Born To Have It All” and “I Never Thought Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me” by Katie Irving.
CARRIE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features the expanded film music re-mastered and pressed to “Prom Fire & Blood” colored vinyl, with new artwork by Phantom City Creative, and gatefold jackets with matte satin coating.
