Legendary horror director and composer John Carpenter has created a new official musical theme for Shudder. The new theme will make its Shudder debut on Oct. 31, 2018, during an 24-hour streaming marathon of Carpenter’s hit 1978 film Halloween. The marathon will be available for free on Shudder TV’s live stream HERE.
Carpenter created both a 2-minute version of the theme, appropriately titled “Shudder,” and a 5-second version that will serve as the network’s official moniker. The moniker will accompany the logo animation in front of movies and TV series.
“We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind audio identity for Shudder and the first person we thought of was John Carpenter,” said Shudder GM Craig Engler. “We approached John and to our delight, he was enthusiastic about the idea and came up with an iconic theme that will enchant and thrill Shudder members every time they hear it.”
In celebration of the holiday and the new theme, Shudder will be streaming Carpenter’s original Halloween all day on Halloween at Shudder TV, free for members and non-members alike in the U.S.. The new Carpenter-scored ID will run between airings of the film.
