The tracklisting for ROB ZOMBIE's remake of the classic horror film Halloween has been released. The disc is stockpiled with classic rock songs from BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, ALICE COOPER, PETER FRAMPTON, IGGY POP, KISS, THE MISFITS, NAZARETH, RUSH and more.

Here is a portion of the "official" announcement: Halloween rocks as writer/director Rob Zombie unleashes his terrifying remake of the classic film Halloween. Halloween: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Hip-O/UMe), released August 21st, 2007, precedes the premiere of the film on more than 2,000 screens on August 31st.

Halloween is a trick-or-treat goodie bag of audio clips from the film and ‘70s arena rock that turns sinister when heard in the film. From Nazareth’s 'Love Hurts' (Top 10, 1976) and Peter Frampton’s 'Baby I Love Your Way' (Top 20, 1975) to Iggy Pop’s live version of '1969' (1969), Alice Cooper’s 'Only Women Bleed' (Top 20, 1975), Rush’s 'Tom Sawyer' (1981) and Blue Öyster Cult's '(Don’t Fear) The Reaper' (Top 20, 1976), Zombie mixes the expected with the surprising, just as he does with the film itself. Also included is composer Tyler Bates’ (Dawn Of The Dead, The Devil’s Rejects, Slither, 300) remake of John Carpenter’s iconic 'Halloween' now titled 'Halloween 2007'.
