The 1979 PHANTASM Soundtrack Is On Spotify and Apple Music

The original 1979 PHANTASM soundtrack is now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music

An exciting surprise for PHANTASM phans this weekend as the 1979 original soundtrack showed up on Spotify and Apple Music!

The 1979 soundtrack for "Phantasm" was composed by Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave, and stands as one of the most distinctive horror film scores of the 1970s. The main theme, with its haunting synthesizer-based melody and progressive rock influences, became iconic in horror cinema. It prominently features the Fender Rhodes electric piano and various analog synthesizers, creating an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly matches the film's surreal narrative. The composers reportedly created the score on a very limited budget in Myrow's home studio, yet managed to craft something uniquely unsettling that blended electronic and traditional orchestral elements. The main theme's hypnotic quality reflects the film's dreamlike quality and has influenced numerous horror soundtracks since. However, since I aim to be accurate with historical information, you may want to double-check these details, as I might not have every aspect of the soundtrack's history completely correct.

One of the first CD releases of the soundtrack. 

PHANTASM Phans are of course counting down the minutes on the mysterious vinyl package of unheard tracks that was announced earlier this year. Stay tuned!
