The album version, without the end-credits string introduction, became available on iTunes on December 16, ahead of the film's opening in major US cities.

"A Night with the Jersey Devil" first appeared in October 2008 on Springsteen's website, accompanied by a Halloween-themed music video.

[44] The video, however, is featured in the DVD included with the album's deluxe edition (as listed below).

"Frankie Fell in Love", recorded during the album sessions but not released, was reworked for the 2014 album, High Hopes .
