Attention Phantasm fans and vinyl collectors!

This deluxe triple LP set is the definitive edition, offering fans a chance to experience the haunting, otherworldly music like never before.
This PHANTASM soundtrack release is a must have for fans of the original 1979 film!
A Milestone for Horror Music
Waxwork’s release is not just a reissue—it’s a celebration of the film’s groundbreaking score. For the first time ever, the complete score has been sourced directly from the original 1979 master tapes, unearthed during a recent archive move. Alongside the newly re-mastered original score album, this set includes a full LP of never-before-heard outtakes and cues from the recording sessions. This is a treasure trove for fans of the film and aficionados of horror soundscapes.
A Journey Back to the Phantasm Soundscape
The music of Phantasm stands out for its haunting blend of early synthesizer experimentation and orchestral depth. Influenced by Goblin’s Suspiria and Mike Oldfield’s The Exorcist, composers Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave crafted a soundtrack that amplifies the surreal and dreamlike atmosphere of the film. Coscarelli himself reminisces about the primitive synthesizers used, where every sound was a one-of-a-kind creation—impossible to replicate.
This deluxe 3xLP package also features exclusive liner notes from Coscarelli, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this chilling score.
