Escape from New York (1981)

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.
