Displaying all reviews (10)Sounds exactly like the music from the original movie. I am a complete beginner and picked this up in a few hours. It's so spooky and haunting and sounds great on an electric keyboard where you can use special effects in the bass part.

My son has regained his interest by finding this song! Such a fun way to learn piano :)

"Ah" Halloween time music. Love this man. Good composer.
Joan_Nottingham
Great! Very easy, and when you keep playing it, it gets really scary!
Scott_Ashby
I've never seen the Halloween movies, but I've heard the theme plenty. I learned most of it, and played at a friends house. They asked me to stop because it was scaring them! Then I learned the rest. It ain't too fancy, but it's ever so cool!

This song really creeps me out and learning to play it was really fun. It also creeped out my family. It was really easy to learn because it was mostly all the same stuff over and over again.
Tyler_Flohr
So simple. Yet so scary. You can hear the influence of Tubular Bells on this.
