Waxwork Records Announces Stunning Triple PHANTASM Vinyl LP Release

Attention Phantasm fans and vinyl collectors! Waxwork Records has announced a spine-tingling treat to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Don Coscarelli’s iconic horror masterpiece: the Phantasm Original Motion Picture Score by Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave. It is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship February 2025. 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.

How gorgeous is this PHANTASM vinyl artwork? 

Stunning Packaging Fit for Horror Royalty

Waxwork has gone all out with the presentation:

  • "Silver Sphere" Vinyl: Each disc is pressed in metallic silver, a nod to the film’s iconic floating orb.

  • Triple Gatefold Jacket: Housed in heavyweight packaging with artwork by renowned artist Graham Humphreys, this set is as visually captivating as it is sonically immersive.

  • Collector’s Extras: Includes an 11"x11" insert and Coscarelli’s exclusive liner notes.

The full PHANTASM Waxwork vinyl collection is going to be incredible!
