The Hills Have Eyes is a 1977 American horror film written, directed, and edited by Wes Craven.
Composer Don Peake has recently revisited his score and this vinyl release presents the newly discovered and remastered original tapes from the film.
It follows the Carters, a suburban family targeted by a family of cannibal savages after becoming stranded in the Nevada desert.
Made for only $230,000, the film has spawned may sequels and remakes and has gone on to become a cult classic.
He remembers his work on the score and how this remarkable soundtrack was created:
"I was immediately struck with the brutality of the characters, and I decided to create a sparse, and disturbing score utilising both acoustic instruments and a few experimental electronic instruments.
I used "The Blaster Beam" - a long aluminium channel (About 10 feet) strung with a single wire.
The Player (Craig Huxley) would slide a piece of steel up the wire string creating a long Glissando.
I also had the prop master deliver the bone necklaces that the actors wore in the movie to the scoring stage.
I used these bones as shakers for the chase scenes.
The percussionists each had a necklace to play.
We recorded all the music "Live" with absolutely no overdubs.
The tapes had been lost for many years.
I just recently came upon them in my storage.
I had my friend Ron Hitchcock "bake" the tapes for 10 hours, and then transferred them into the Pro Tools digital format.
This is the very first time that this music has been available to listen to."
Pressed on classic black 140g vinyl with gatefold sleeve.
