Master of Horror: John Carpenter releases chilling new track, ‘Shudder’

Master of Horror, John Carpenter, has released a chilling new track just in time for Halloween. It’s called Shudder and it’s the theme tune for the horror, thriller and suspense streaming service of the same name.

Earlier this month, Carpenter revealed in an interview with Consequence of Sound that Shudder was interested in turning his 1987 classic Prince of Darkness into a series. He also mentioned that streaming service had asked him to write a new theme for them, and that’s exactly what he has done.

Listen to a chilling new song Shudder from the Master of Horror, John Carpenter, just in time for Halloween.

“We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind audio identity for Shudder and the first person we thought of was John Carpenter,” says Shudder GM Craig Engler in a statement. “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.”

A five-second snippet of the song will play at the beginning of all Shudder content starting on Halloween (October 31st) – think the double-thud at the start of off Netflix Original content.
