Soundtrack:
Waxwork Records released the original motion picture soundtrack for The Prowler (1981) by Richard Einhorn. The movie is one of the early and seminal entries in the American slasher genre. It also features special effects by Tom Savini (Friday the 13th, Creepshow, Day of the Dead) and was directed by Joseph Zito (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter).
The film’s music by Richard Einhorn (Shock Waves; Don’t Go in the House) introduces the composer’s departure from the primitive, monophonic synth scoring of his earlier work, and implements a blend of orchestral cues and mature electronic soundscapes.
Waxwork Records worked with the composer to research and locate the master tapes that were thought to have been destroyed for decades. The tapes were restored, transferred, and the music was mixed, constructed into a cohesive soundtrack listening experience, and mastered specifically for vinyl.
This new, definitive double LP film score release of The Prowler features all of the film’s music composed by Richard Einhorn pressed to 180 gram Army Green Swirl with Rose Petal Red Splatter, new artwork by Ghoulish Gary Pullin, exclusive liner notes by director Joseph Zito, and a printed insert featuring Rosemary’s break-up letter.
