Castlevania (NES): Vampire Killer (Extended)

This is Vampire Killer. No other song could be THIS iconic to the series, and for a lot of reasons: not only has "Vampire Killer" been remixed the most out of any CV song ever, but it also plays in the first level of the first game. It's one of those songs that never grows old, doesn't matter how many times the level it plays in is replayed. The name also plays an important role in its fame, since the protagonists of the series are... Vampire Killers.
In the end, this classic and catchy track is, without a doubt, the face of Castlevania.
Just like stated before, this song plays in the first block (The Entrance) and does the same in every other version of the game but the Amiga version (here it's the theme of the 4th block).
The song has been remixed to death: you can find all versions here ( • Every Version of Castl... )

He said it anyway: side scrolling action at it's finest :D

[@TheStopShort]

It really is, though

[@MrArcadia2009]

I played the original, and liked it.

[@TheEonAtrocious]

I think we can all agree, this is one of the most notable & catchiest themes from the NES.

POV: your Dracula and your looking outside the window and he is just approaching and killing all your minions with just a whip and holy water.

[@PhuryousOne]

It's so funny. I didn't own this game but my friend did. And when I hear the music, I feel like I'm back in his house in the late 80's.

Most NES music at the time was little more than beeps, boops, or short and simple music sequences.
Konami was like, "let's show Nintendo what their machine can actually do!".

[@cardboardbox5704]

I always play this at Cainhurst Castle in Bloodborne.

[@foloan1209]

When do you think that an iconic song gets a remix of a remix? I mean like, when people don't refer to the original song but a remix/remake to make a remix/remake of the song?

[@glitchedblood]
