Firestarter’s John Carpenter Role Fixes An 80s Stephen King Mistake

Firestarter’s John Carpenter Role Fixes An 80s Stephen King Mistake

As it happens, the original score for Firestarter (by Tangerine Dream) is one of the movie’s more memorable elements. However, Firestarter’s 2022 remake promises a darker musical accompaniment than that dreamy, synth-heavy record if Carpenter’s track record is anything to go by. Although his more recent compositions have seen Carpenter incorporate more elaborate instrumentation than his earlier, bare-bones scores, the director’s musical output is still a lot more minimal than the lush sounds of Tangerine Dream.
This isn’t the first time that Carpenter provided a score contribution so he could lend his blessing to a project that was near to his heart. Carpenter, who has largely focused on music since he quit directing in 2010, composed a remix of the famous Halloween theme for 2021’s Halloween Kills, a nostalgia-steeped sequel that needed all the atmospheric help that Carpenter’s chilling musical accompaniments could provide. With any luck, Firestarter won’t be as much in need of Carpenter’s assistance when it comes to providing scares and surprises. In any case, Stephen King fans will find out soon as Firestarter arrives in cinemas and on Peacock on May 13.
