Jaws (1975)
8.1/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo, 50th Anniversary Edition 2xLP, 2025
The most theatrical package on this list. The jacket pops up into a shark fin, so the record stands on a shelf as its own piece of display art, with art direction by Alan Hynes. The music side is just as serious: Mike Matessino remixed John Williams's original score for this release and wrote new notes for it, and it is cut across two 180-gram discs at 45 RPM, which gives the brass and low strings room to hit. One edition comes on marbled red and blue "blood and water" vinyl. If you only buy one Williams score on vinyl, this is the edition built to be shown off.

Taxi Driver (1976)
8.2/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork, 40th Anniversary 2xLP, 2016
Bernard Herrmann's final score is the reason to own this, and Waxwork presents it in full for the first time, alongside the remastered original 1976 soundtrack album. That pairing lets you hear how much of the sleazy saxophone and dread the old album left out. Martin Scorsese approved the new Rich Kelly cover and wrote fresh liner notes, so the director's own voice sits inside the sleeve. Look for the black, white and yellow vinyl that nods to Travis Bickle's cab.

Twin Peaks (1990)
8.7/10on IMDb
First aired
Death Waltz Recording Co., Twin Peaks soundtrack LP, 2016
The TV pick, and a lesson in restraint. Sam Smith's cover was approved by David Lynch, and Jay Shaw of Mondo designed the die-cut outer jacket that holds the gatefold. Inside are lyrics and liner notes from Angelo Badalamenti himself. The sound was rebuilt properly too: Tal Miller cut new vinyl masters from the Warner archives, and Rainbo pressed it on 180-gram "damn fine coffee" vinyl, finished with a top-loading obi strip. Few records match their show's mood this closely, inside and out.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
7.8/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork, 50th Anniversary 2xLP, 2018
Billed as the first official release of the film's score on double vinyl, this is the most complete way to hear the eerie, scratchy music behind Romero's farmhouse siege. Waxwork worked with the surviving members of Image Ten, the company that made the film, to restore and remaster all of the music heard in it. The extras are what make it a collector's set: a booklet of unseen production photos, liner notes by the film's sound engineer Gary Streiner, an essay by Daniel Kraus and new cover art by Robert Sammelin, all on 180-gram ghoul green vinyl.

Halloween (1978)
7.7/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo 2xLP, 2013
John Carpenter's piano-and-synth theme is the most recognizable horror motif of its era, and Mondo's 2013 set was billed as the first complete pressing of his score on vinyl. Phantom City Creative designed the deluxe gatefold, fronted by a ghostly painted mask, and the two 180-gram discs are cut at 45 RPM, which gives that cold pulse real punch. Most copies are black; the randomly inserted orange copies are the ones collectors chase.

The Iron Giant (1999)
8.1/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo 2xLP, 2014
Michael Kamen's warm, brassy score for Brad Bird's animated film made its vinyl debut here, remastered for the format. Mondo limited it to 1,000 copies and offered two packages: Jason Edmiston's painted cover, on black vinyl with randomly inserted steel grey copies, and a Jay Shaw design in an embossed metal slipcase. The slipcase edition is the one that feels like the Giant himself in your hands. Kamen's music is the emotional engine of the film, swelling from Cold War paranoia into something big-hearted, and it plays beautifully as a standalone album.

Escape from New York (1981)
7.1/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork deluxe 2xLP, 2020
Carpenter's pulsing synth score, co-produced with Alan Howarth, is the coldest, coolest sound of early-'80s genre cinema, and Waxwork gave it the full treatment for the film's 40th anniversary. Marc Aspinall painted new artwork, and a 12-page booklet adds unreleased behind-the-scenes set photos. The color variants are part of the fun: "Descent into New York" is fire orange with blue and white splatter, while "Statue of Liberty" is a blue, green and black marble. Pair it with Waxwork's matching edition of The Fog for a Carpenter shelf.

Us (2019)
6.8/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork 2xLP, 2019
The most interactive package here. To reveal the Tethered hidden behind the family portraits on Edward Kinsella's gatefold, you actually have to cut part of the jacket, a bold ask that matches Jordan Peele's film. The discs are pressed in "Metallic Brass Scissors" and "Tethered Red Jumpsuit" colors, the back cover carries a reflective foil touch, and an essay by scholar Shana L. Redmond gives Michael Abels's score real context. A record for people who want a soundtrack to feel as unsettling to hold as it is to hear.

Deep Red (1975)
7.5/10on IMDb
Released
Death Waltz Recording Co. 2xLP, 2018
Goblin's score for Dario Argento's 1975 giallo mixes prog rock, disco and jazz into something that still sounds like nothing else, and this edition treats it as the landmark it is. The first disc reissues the original soundtrack as it appeared in 1975; the second adds alternate takes from the Cinevox archives, on vinyl for the first time. Randy Ortiz painted the cover, ringed in metallic gold, and opening the gatefold confronts you with an image of blood-stained hands at a piano, a direct nod to the film. Disc colors differ between variants, so check the listing. If you want one Italian horror score that shows why this music has such a cult, start here.

Tenebre (1982)
7.0/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork 2xLP, 2018
Argento's 1982 thriller reunited three former members of Goblin, credited here as Simonetti, Pignatelli and Morante, and their score is colder and more electronic than Deep Red, all driving synths and pulse. Waxwork fully remastered the original album and added bonus tracks the first Cinevox release left off, across two 180-gram discs in "Blood Red" and "Straight Razor Silver." The packaging is the hook: Nikita Kaun's new art sits behind a die-cut cover that frames a bloodied face in a white sheet, with an eye for the film's gleaming, nasty style. A smart second step for anyone who already owns a Goblin record.

House (1977)

Released
Waxwork LP reissue, 2022
Nobuhiko Obayashi's psychedelic haunted-house film has one of the strangest, sweetest scores in horror, by Asei Kobayashi and Mickie Yoshino, swinging from pop balladry to freak-out. Waxwork's reissue finally brought it to the United States, on splattered green and yellow vinyl with new artwork by Jake Foreman and a 12-by-12-inch art print. It suits a collector who likes their horror shelf to have a sense of humor.

Anomalisa (2015)
7.2/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo LP, pop-up gatefold
Proof that Mondo's design ambition is not only for horror. Open Alan Hynes's gatefold and it pops up into the hotel room where Michael spends most of Charlie Kaufman's stop-motion film. Carter Burwell's delicate score is interleaved with dialogue, including David Thewlis delivering Michael's speech, so the record works as a quiet audio companion to the movie. It was made in an edition of 1,000 on black vinyl, with a single random copy pressed in color, which keeps it one of the more affordable showpieces when you find it.

Friday the 13th (1980)
6.3/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork LP, 2014, deluxe repress 2019
One of the early releases that showed what Waxwork would become. Harry Manfredini's score came out in three styles in 2014 that all sold out quickly, the wildest a "Crystal Lake Blood Filled" disc with red liquid inside, limited to about 100 copies. You will not find that one cheaply. The 2019 deluxe repress is the realistic buy, with a new cutting master, inserts and liner notes, and it delivers the same stabbing strings and whispered echoes that defined the slasher sound.

TRON: Legacy (2010)
6.8/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo 2xLP, 2020
Daft Punk's score blends a full orchestra with their synths, and it is one of the rare blockbuster soundtracks that plays like a real album. Mondo's edition puts it on two 180-gram colored discs with artwork by Matt Taylor, housed in a spot-varnished die-cut O-card that shows an arcade machine glowing in Flynn's Arcade. It repeats the original vinyl's track list, bonus tracks included. A strong pick for a collector whose taste runs from horror synth to sci-fi electronica.

Up (2009)
8.3/10on IMDb
Released
Mondo 2xLP, 2021
Michael Giacchino's Oscar-winning waltz for Carl and Ellie is the most tender music on this list, and Mondo treats it gently. Nicole Gustafsson painted the cover, the discs carry balloon spots, and Drew Taylor wrote the liner notes. It spreads across two 180-gram records, so the score has room to breathe. A good gift edition for someone who loves film music but does not collect horror.

Godzilla Minus One (2023)
7.6/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork 2xLP, 2024
The best recent case for Waxwork's kaiju side. Naoki Sato's score carries the weight of postwar grief as much as monster spectacle, and this double LP, made with Sony Music and Toho, comes on 150-gram "Godzilla Heat Ray" colored vinyl. The heavyweight gatefold has a matte satin coating and a layout by Matt Needle, plus an 11-by-11-inch insert. It is a cleaner, more modern package than the label's splatter-heavy horror titles, and it suits the film.

Weapons (2025)
7.4/10on IMDb
Released
Waxwork LP, 2025
The newest pick and the cleverest cover. The lenticular front shifts to reveal 2:17 AM, the moment the children vanish in Zach Cregger's film, so the jacket itself replays the hook. The complete score by Ryan Holladay, Hays Holladay and Cregger comes on colored vinyl in a heavyweight gatefold with a matte satin finish, original artwork by Steve Reeves and a 12-by-12-inch insert with exclusive art. Proof that Waxwork still finds new tricks for brand-new horror.
