Wes Craven's iconic slasher film Scream turns 30 this year. To celebrate, Varese Sarabande and Craft Recordings are re-releasing Marco Beltrami's score in a special deluxe edition. The record arrives August 28, and the 14-track album returns to vinyl in a collective "blood-soaked" sleeve, which features the iconic image of Drew Barrymore's character Casey Becker.

Besides the "Woodsboro Bloodbath" red vinyl, fans can obtain the 1-LP set in a variety of limited-edition exclusive pressing. Here are the other special pressings and where they'll be available:

• "Knife's Edge," silver vinyl with poster (Target)

• "Surprise, Sidney," metallic blond vinyl (Barnes & Noble)

• "Don't Hang Up," clear vinyl (Books-A-Million)

• "I'll Be Right Back," blue vinyl (Urban Outfitters)

• "Final Girl," splatter vinyl (Hot Topic)

• "Wrong Answer," blood red splatter vinyl (Varese Sarabande/Craft Recordings)

• "Final Phone Call," blue vinyl (select indie retailers)

Additionally, an "Extended Cut Edition" of the album, featuring all 40 of the film's cues from the 2022 boxset, will also be available on CD.

According to a press release, just three years after Beltrami completed the University of Southern California's scoring program, he submitted 13 minutes of music for Scream's opening sequence. “We knew in half a minute that we had found our composer,” Craven told Variety in 2012. “The music was haunting, beautiful and totally original. Marco turned out to be shy and soft-spoken, but a fountain of ideas and innovation. I never looked back.”

The release also states that Beltrami worked with a limited budget but was strategic with his arrangements. He recorded smaller combinations of musicians instead of a full orchestra.

Here are the track lists for the CD and vinyl releases.
