While John Carpenter and co. are dealing with the majority of the Halloween Ends soundtrack, much the same as Halloween Kills there is the odd exception to the rule.
Whereas Kills had Ghost’s Hunter’s Moon, Ends will feature the track Burn It Down from American dark dance band Boy Harsher.
The track is a moody electro piece which the band have described as almost a metaphor for the relationship in the film between Allyson and Corey Cunningham.
Here’s what they had to say on the Sacred Bones Records page –
“During an extremely brief period of rest between tours, we got this call from the music supervisor of Halloween Ends. The director, David Gordon Green, had listened to our music and wanted to use something for the final instalment in the trilogy -Halloween Ends. We flew to New York the next day to meet the team and discuss the possibilities. It was totally surreal.
“Obviously, we’re huge fans of Carpenter and the franchise is a fav, but to work with Gordon Green was also so special, his early films (George Washington,Undertow, Snow Angels) were heavy influences on our work. The real kicker is that Halloween Ends was shot in Savannah, GA – the birthplace of Boy Harsher and where we met. Unbelievable. It all felt too synchronous, and we knew we had to make something work although we were about to leave for a multi-month tour that week. We flew home to Massachusetts, dug through old demos, and found “Burn It Down”.
“In the end, it was the perfect energy for the bittersweet love affair between Allyson and Corey, so during a couple days off – we cleaned it up and made it come alive.”
