We're back to discuss another collection of John Carpenter's original musical compositions, the 2016 Sacred Bones release Lost Themes II. Like the first Lost Themes album, this one features songs that aren't tied to any of Carpenter's film projects -- though anyone who loves his film-scoring work will likely find a lot to love across these 11 tunes. Chris and Nick break the album down track-by-track, discussing Carpenter's composing, instrumentation, and influences -- and considering the amazing unmade films that this very cinematic music might have soundtracked. Plus, what we're currently watching on Shudder and what we have planned for the Halloween season ahead!
