Brilliant filmmaker and composer John Carpenter has created the new theme for Shudder. Carpenter also created a second theme that will be accompanied by Shudder’s animated logo that runs ahead of films and series streaming on the network.
We wanted to create a one-of-a-kind audio identity for Shudder and the first person we thought of was John Carpenter,” said Shudder GM Craig Engler. “We approached John and to our delight he was enthusiastic about the idea and came up with an iconic theme that will enchant and thrill Shudder members every time they hear it.”
