Available for the very first time in any format, the complete Manhunter soundtrack and film score have been remastered and prepped as one of Waxwork's highest quality and ambitious vinyl offerings to date. Theatrically released in 1986, Manhunter is a crime horror film written and directed by Michael Mann and based on the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. It was the first film adaptation of Harris' Hannibal Lector novels, and has gone to amass a cult following. The film features strong themes by usage of saturated blues, greens, and magentas to evoke moods, emotion, and illustrate the tone of each scene in which these colors are used. The film is highly stylistic and a snapshot into the late '80s era. The soundtrack and score dominate the movie with lush '80s synth, ambient drones, and rock. Waxwork's vinyl release of Manhunter includes the complete original soundtrack including the famous closing track "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. Bonus tracks include "Jogger's Stakeout" by The Reds.
