The song was made by Tobias specifically for the "Halloween Kills" movie soundtrack, it tried to capture those "80s movie sound vibes and I think he did a pretty good job.
Tobias was asked by the producer of the movie if he wanted to write the end credit song. He said yes as he loves the Helloween movies series and he already had the title Hunter's Moon. He listened to Harvest Moon by Neil Young and discovered that there also were a Hunter's Moon. He wrote the song together with Oscar nominated song writer Max Grahn. (Husavik from Eurovision movie). They recorded it and it was ready for the movie. But then covid happened and the movie was postponed for a whole year. Tobias who wasn't happy with the song then wanted to re record the song and did so but the movie company refused to change. So that's why there is one version in the movie and another one (this) on the record.
Tobias said he already had a song and that's what was used in the movie. He didn't write a song for the movie. He did rework the song for the album, though.
Rats, Faith, From the Pinnacle to the Pit, Cirice, He Is... Hell, just close your eyes and pick any song. Ghost is that good. I really dig reactions that bring some analysis as well. It always helps me appreciate songs even more and you bring interesting stuff to our attention. Keep 'em coming!
Also, you should definitely do 'Rats' next. It's another insanely catchy song with some great riffs and lyrics, and the video is pretty wacky in the best way possible. XD
Awesome analysis as always. I love the joy you have with these songs. Brings me back to discovering the bands and hearing songs for the first time and dissecting them on further listens.
Banger track. Ghost always has me tapping along with my pen. I also need more Ghost in my life! Awesome reaction as usual, once again appreciating your insider knowledge!
Another outstanding awesome reaction to one of ghosts songs... thank you so much, man. Here are some other gret songs from Ghost you should check on... Witch Image, Watcher in the Sky, Rats, Darkness at the heart of my love, He is, Life Eternal, Cirice, Ritual... Actually the whole Album Prequelle is a banger so is Impera
Such a dang good song.. and such a dang good reaction. 🙂 You keep finding those details, showcasing some of the time, effort and brilliance put into this song. No matter how many times I watch this Ghost video, I always gives me the shivers down my spine at the end when Papa appears in the mirror. It fits the lyrics and the song attitude at that very moment. Such good choreography. You will have a total blast if you react to, and pick apart, "Kaisarion" including the intro "Imperium". And you will definitely go for a brain spin reacting to "Twenties" including the intro "Dominion"... As long as you have Ghost you have everything. Until the next one 🤘🏻
Great reaction. Definitely 80's power/pop metal. I was thinking there was a bit of a nod to Dream Warriors (Dokken), which was also part of a horror movie soundtrack (Nightmare on Elm Street). I think there is also a nod towards the Halloween theme as well. The chants/vocal layering are classic Ghost. They sent the whole mix through a flanger (i think).
Love your Ghost reactions. I would really like to see your take on something from one of their first or second albums. If you want a surprise, try Ghuleh/Zombie Queen (don't do the acoustic version for your first listen, though)
You should review this same song, but in the "Film" version it is very different, especially the drums, in my opinion the Hunter's Moon version of the film is much better than the version you just reviewed!! greetings from Chile! very good content! I loved your channel!!
Love these reactions and analysis! And I haven’t seen anyone point it out yet but I’ve done a cover of the Halloween theme song and the guitar riffs after the 1st and 2nd verses almost match the piano key beats in the melody. I have no other way to explain it but I thought it was an amazing move by Ghost to do so. 😂 Excited to see what you react to next. I’m hearing that Rats seems pretty popular. 👀
Too bad they dropped this from the live setlist because the 2023 version dropped the pre-recorded chant and handed it to the backup singers which actually sounded better than on the album.

Ghost are just phenomenal....
So apparently, the guitar riff in the chorus is a guitar version of John Carpenter's main theme for the original Halloween movies. :D
THATS ACTUALLY GENIUS
Rats, Faith, From the Pinnacle to the Pit, Cirice, He Is... Hell, just close your eyes and pick any song. Ghost is that good.
I really dig reactions that bring some analysis as well. It always helps me appreciate songs even more and you bring interesting stuff to our attention. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks man! More Ghost on the way!
7:52 me everyday of my life

Let me see what I can do lol
Awesome analysis as always. I love the joy you have with these songs. Brings me back to discovering the bands and hearing songs for the first time and dissecting them on further listens.
Thanks again for an awesome comment Mike!

Right on, thanks Null! Always appreciated man.
I love your ghost reactions, just keep em’ coming!
Thank you! Will do!
I would LOVE to see you react to and analyze more of Ghost's older songs, maybe some from their album Meliora or Infestissumam? I'd love to see it!
I’m adding them to my list of things to watch and listen to!
Tobias plays all the instruments himself. A very talented man. I’m nearly 50 and am besotted

Please do Grammy Award winning song Cirice next! I'm loving your reactions and in depth analysis brother!
Thanks man! It’s coming!

Excellent! I would suggest Cirice, He Is, Rats... to be honest you can't go wrong with Ghost.

My favourite song of 2021 👌 First official apparition of Papa IV 🤟👻
Nice reaction week! I like all of them 🖐️
Best reaction channel out there 🤟🏼
You’re the man Beeto!

Interesting and unusual with the 9/4 meter in the riff after ”it’s a Hunter’s moon”
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA PLZZZZZ
You should review this same song, but in the "Film" version it is very different, especially the drums, in my opinion the Hunter's Moon version of the film is much better than the version you just reviewed!! greetings from Chile! very good content! I loved your channel!!
I'll check it out! That’s a cool idea!!
Please do Cirice!

🔥🤘😜🔥
Thanks Faye!
GOD
Please Mr Od Stone Run do From The Pinnacle to the Pit you'll love it
If you can catch your breath after soaking in the music, focus on the video. It will scare the bejesus out of you. So. Elementally. Terrifying.
You should react to Ghost Ritual live in Chile 2016
Too bad they dropped this from the live setlist because the 2023 version dropped the pre-recorded chant and handed it to the backup singers which actually sounded better than on the album.
Have you listened to their song Cirice yet?
Dial down the METAL aspect of this song and you've got ABBA.
