Time to uncover those childhood nightmares: The Dark Crystal soundtrack is getting a vinyl reissue

The soundtrack for Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s The Dark Crystal is being reissued on vinyl to celebrate its 35 year anniversary in a limited run of 1,500 copies.

The release forms part of Record Store Day 2017.

Probably the best movie you ever erased from your childhood nightmares, The Dark Crystal has dichotomised viewers from the day of its release in 1982.

With half its audience falling deeply in love with the magic of puppetry and the other uncovering their crippling fear of animated, life-like dolls (their freaking eyes move!), The Dark Crystal is definitely a film like no other.

Scored by Trevor Jones (Labyrinth, The Last of the Mohicans), the soundtrack is a prime example of the many sci-fi/fantasy operas that backed the silver screen at the time.
