I asked this question on the Candyman release page and it got deleted...but I'm curious if anyone knows why the main theme song isn't included on any of the releases? It seems really odd to leave it out since it's the opening theme to the film. -

Do mean the music during the "highway" opening scene?
I don't have a single Candyman release. If that is so, I'll probably stay away from 'em! -

CNTRL_SCRUTINIZER, I just did a little research and found this 2014 Candyman Soundtrack Playback Video and if I understand your question correctly, the "Candyman Theme" is actually at the end of the release and is titled "It Was Always You, Helen," but, I could be incorrect. No matter the situation, the "Candyman Theme" should definitely be at the beginning, too, as it was an integral component of that opening scene. -

I mean the music during the opening scene, as you said the "highway" opening scene. As far as I can tell that song is nowhere to be found on any of the releases. -

"Candyman Theme" a.k.a. "It Was Always You, Helen"
It's the final track on the reissues. -

Holy shit, CNTRL_SCRUTINIZER, I found it.
Fuck, man. I had the intro music wrong in my head and you're 100% correct - it's missing! What BS!

Yeah, that's what i thought. The other day i listened to whole soundtrack and that opening theme isn't there. I just think it's really weird they would leave it out. I can't find any explanation for why... -

I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't include it unless it flat-out didn't make it onto the master for some reason.
The 2001 CD release (Philip Glass - The Music Of Candyman) doesn't have it either. -
