Did you honestly think I'd let this year's "Halloween Day by Day" go by without covering THIS particular theme?
Shame on you, ye of little faith!
John Carpenter's musical theme to his first movie is just a masterpiece of horror movie music. It's a pulse quickening, uneasy melody that matches your racing heart and panicked thoughts. It always sounds as if it's coming from the shadows behind you- just like the stealthy stalking of Michael Myers himself. The different layers of tones and melodies keeps changing sides, and makes you look over your shoulder at any little sound in your empty house.
This theme is the sound of slow, inevitable fear and death coming for the unwary- relentless in it's approach, unyielding in it's mission, uncompromising in it's plans for you.
It is the sound of "Halloween", the night death came home.
My words can't do this piece of music justice, really. Just listen to it below, and simply enjoy!
