Long before composer James Horner scored the soundtrack for James Cameron’s Titanic (1997), back at the start of his career, he worked on a few horror films, such as the Roger Corman produced Up from the Depths (1979) though listed as uncredited, Wolfen (1981), and Deadly Blessing (1981). But one of his earlier scores was that of another Corman produced film, Humanoids from the Deep (1980).

When Humanoids hit HBO in the early 80s, it was all the guys were talking about at school, for obvious reasons. It was a film that anxiously awaited to get to see, and when I did, it paid off in spades! Now fans of the soundtrack from James Horner can hear it really for the first time.

While it has been released on CD before, because of the mixing, there were some instruments that were kind of lost in the background. But with a recently discovered 2″ 24-track sessions elements, those have been fixed. Have no fear if you’re a big fan of that original release, because this new CD has not only the complete score, newly remixed (41:25 min), it also features a newly remastered version of that original release (34:09 min), which makes this release just over 75 minutes long!

It has been released by Intrada, with a retail price of $22.95, and is available now. You can order your copy from Screen Archive Entertainment, by clicking HERE.
