What a piece of music this is!! Dark, foreboding, atmospheric, tense, moody, deep, captivating, yet still with a sense of optimism despite the obvious danger! John Carpenter is pure talent and oozes creativity, whether it's through his visuals or sounds. Underrated genius in his profession sadly.

I would never have guessed this music was from 1976. John Carpenter the musical genius.

That's because a synthesizer in 1976 costed as much as a brand new car, if not more.

This theme always follows me whenever I’m walking through a bad part of town.

Try walking home at night on a bike path by a lake so it's foggy, your flashlight is on, then on your playlist the Halloween theme kicks in. I started walking much faster.
