Carpenter was going CRAZY in the studio with this one

“Tommy!!! You little piece of s - - t, it’s me!!!!!”

[@weeskle2]

crazy how a couple chords and certain notes on one instrument can invoke such a strong reaction from your subconcious

[@lost_times-j4c]

Ikr?! This is what I was thinking as well! Gives it a retro and terrifying sound🎃🔪

[@Kaijufan360]

@@Rebellionswerebuiltonhope I think it was the korg triton that John Carpenter has been using for Halloween movies according to Google.

[@Kaijufan360]

@@Rebellionswerebuiltonhope Or the synthesizer instrument.

This and the Halloween theme will always be the most iconic spooky szn songs

[@menorahdarkness4877]

Every tune is a banger on this soundtrack

[@twallhofer]

other than the theme this is this best track in the movie

[@jasonteqja7262]

IKR! i put it over the theme tbh

[@SunStar-lc6sj]

Something I noticed is that in the actual film most of the music is pitch shifted. Like this one. Sounds like this when Laurie is being chased but before and after it was at a totally different pitch.

[@joenuts8590]

If you look up the full soundtrack there are repeats and recuts and repitches of what is essentially the same few songs used in different contexts of the film.

[@MichaelAudreyMyers]

Whenever I use my blu ray or digital it sounds exactly like this but the made for tv version has a different pitch for some reason

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

Whenever I take Shelter during a tornado warning, this song pops into my head since it emphasizes how dire the situation is.

[@officialfsandwichofeleague]

A tornado is also a pretty good comparison to Micheal.

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

@@officialfsandwichofeleague It's pretty much telling me to seek shelter.

[@braddivens5179]

Jesus. Just add on more anxiety onto yourself, eh?

[@bardthenascarfanaticdragon]

@@braddivens5179 I deal with Tornadoes often.

[@deadend6486]

@@bardthenascarfanaticdragonSame. Living in Tornado Alley is always “fun.” Especially during Spring lol

[@jasonteqja7262]

this song is fucking sonic fear, even more than the classic theme! john carpenter is a genius

[@Catario2005]

I watched the film a year ago and i love it

[@SS-Tommy]

It's somehow mixed absolutely perfect. As if someone knew what they were doing.

[@sasoridokueki5754]

One of these days, I should mute the music of RE2 and see what it would be like playing this while Mr. X stalks you.

[@marioguy6486]

Keeping the sfx on so you can hear the footsteps getting closer and closer causing you to run or hide oh yeah I feel the vibe lol happy halloween

[@marioguy6486]

Running down a dark empty street Halloween night from a tall dark shape lurking in the shadows with the desire to kill. No one to help. No one to answer.

[@dominon929]

I did used to have a creepy dream to where it was night time and everything was extremely silent, no vehicles were passing by, and all lights were out, including the gas station lights, street lights, etc. Craziest paranoia I’ve ever felt in it was as if there was someone or something terrifying watching me that was ready to attack or kill.

[@pamelqtaylor8335]

Still kills me as much noise as Laurie made begging for help people ignored her cries. Cold AF!

[@airwolfwwf]

Whenever I think about Halloween or Michael Myers I don't think about the main song I think about this song the main song is so overly saturated but this song hits the spot every time

[@MEMEFISHBISH]

Wow someone paid attention to the movies..thank god some of us do

I don't care what no one say let all the lights in the house shut off and this start playing ......

[@rogi2286]

With this song remember only myers in Dead by daylight

[@Nanu67-e9j]

The first Halloween is an accidentally masterpiece.. still incredibly scary Today.. their's just something about this first Halloween thats so scary . The sequels are enjoyable but they all fail to be as scary as the original..

[@bilosdiogee410]

Yea, it’s the truth but impossible to define or explain. It is just one of the best ever

[@dominon929]

This totally suits for his menace as he’s going after her

[@stormtendo]

The rule of thumb is: the fewer notes a track in a horror movie has, the sooner you need to start running.

[@Real_RUBB3R]

John Carpenter totally stole this from Dead By Daylight!! >:(

[@_ace55]

yes he did man at least crwedit behviour man this not coool man !!!!!!!!!
