The Omen 40th Anniversary & Scream 2 Deluxe

Varese Club Halloween Edition

Varese Sarabande has released the perfect club batch for Halloween. The Omen 40th Anniversary Edition and Scream 2 Deluxe Edition.

This year marks a big anniversary for an epic and historic film and score.
It’s hard to believe but The Omen (1976), was released 40 years ago.
It’s also hard to believe that Varese's previous “Deluxe Edition” of Jerry Goldsmith’s Academy Award-winning score came out 15 years ago to celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary. But here it is. While The Deluxe Edition was indeed significantly expanded from the original soundtrack album release, this score’s biggest fans still missed a few cues and for this new, 40th Anniversary edition Varese has added an additional six previously unreleased cues, including the unused “It’s All For You.” The entire score has also been newly remastered and they've added a special bonus track featuring Diego Navarro conducting “The Omen Suite” from the 2009 Fimucité tribute to Jerry Goldsmith. An epic release of Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-winning masterpiece! Total playtime of 66 minutes. This edition is limited to 3000 copies

U.S. ambassador (Gregory Peck) switches his wife's (Lee Remick) baby with an orphaned boy when their child is stillborn. As the boy grows, disaster surrounds him, beginning with the suicide of his nanny, and as the bodies pile up, his horrified father begins to suspect the boy is evil incarnate and must be destroyed. The Omen was directed by Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie, The Goonies).

†World Premiere Release


The score to Scream 2 receives a major expansion!  It was 18 years ago, in 1998, when Varese released an album with fifteen minutes each from Marco Beltrami’s Scream and Scream 2.  Both are Beltrami classics.  In 2011 Varese finally set things right with a Deluxe Edition for the original Scream and now, five years later and just in time for Halloween, it’s time for Scream 2.  Not only have they included all of Marco’s score but Scream 2: The Deluxe Edition even includes Danny Elfman’s Cassandra Aria and Cassandra Reprise! If you only know the score from the previous album, this one will be a wonderful revelation. The total playtime is 77 minutes. This release is limited to 2000 copies.

Sydney (Neve Campbell) and tabloid reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) survived the events of the first 'Scream,' but their nightmare isn't over. When two college students are murdered at a sneak preview of 'Stab,' a movie based on the events from the first film, it's clear a copycat killer is on the loose. Sydney and Gail, as well as fellow survivors Deputy Dewey (David Arquette) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) have to find out who is behind this new murder spree, before they all end up dead.
