Released in 1981, The Prowler (also known as Rosemary’s Killer) was an early attempt to cash in on the success of Friday the 13th. Directed by Joseph Zito (who would go on to helm Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter), the golden-age slasher enlisted special effects mastermind Tom Savini (Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead) to pull off its gory death scenes. While the carnage is at the forefront, The Prowler offers a fair share of suspense, as is reflected in the film’s original motion picture soundtrack.

Waxwork Records worked closely with composer Richard Einhorn (Shock Waves, Don’t Go in the House) to locate and restore the long-thought-destroyed original master tapes. The music has been reconstructed into four suites - “The Prowler,” “Stalking the Grounds,” “Dormitory Intruder,” and “A Rose to Remember You By” - to play as a cohesive soundtrack, which was then mastered for vinyl by Thomas Dimuzio to ensure the best possible listening experience.
