A cult‑classic collision of sci‑fi spectacle and gothic horror, Lifeforce (1985) remains one of Tobe Hooper’s most ambitious and surreal cinematic visions. Adapted from Colin Wilson’s novel The Space Vampires, the film follows an apocalyptic outbreak unleashed by an ancient extraterrestrial species brought back to London.

For the score, producers turned to legendary composer Henry Mancini, whose work on Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Pink Panther earned him global acclaim. Mancini delivers a dramatic, orchestral and often atonal soundscape performed by the London Symphony Orchestra — a bold departure from his signature melodic style. The result is a score that is bombastic, eerie and richly atmospheric, perfectly capturing the film’s escalating dread.

This 180‑gram audiophile edition from Music On Vinyl is issued as a limited run of 500 individually numbered copies on purple & red marbled vinyl, and includes a 4‑page booklet featuring an alternate cover, film stills and a fold‑out movie poster replica.
