Halloweendome: Track or Treat

[Johnny Unusual]

Alright! The party is up and running! Hey, Wolfman, great to see you again. How's the blood pizza, Dracula. Hey, remember to call a cab after the party, Human Centipede. Hey, get a room, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats.

OK, the party is going great, but now we need tunes to liven up the place. What do we have first?

Round 1
Match 1
First @Dark Medusa lets us in on their "Fear of the Unknown and the Blazing Sun" (by Colin Stetson) while @WildcatJF sheds "Bloody Tears" at the "Monster Dance" by Michiko Naruke
Fear of the Unknown and the Blazing Sun

Bloody Tears/Monster Dance (Smash Ultimate Remix)

Match 2
Then @Issun is sweet on "Candy Girl" by New Edition while @ThornGhost says "Right On, Frankenstein!" by Death from Above 1979.
Candy Girl

"Right On, Frankenstein!"

 

[Johnny Unusual]

"Fear of the Unknown Girl"

 

[Dark Medusa]

"Fear of the Frankenstein Sun"

This whole album from Colin Stetson is incredibly thematic and creepy, and the penultimate song from the album to me has always bewitched me, with Colin Stetson's haunting clacking and saxophone playing, and guest artist and generally amazing avant-garde Laurie Anderson telling us that we cut "the wires for empathy that she loved beyond all the others" like she's some goddamn psychopath HAL-2000.

 

[Daikaiju]

Bloody Right ON!

 

[Falselogic]

Bloody Frankenstein

 

[Issun]

What a Terrible Night to Have a Boy Band

 

[Purple]

Bloody Candy

 

[WildcatJF]

"Right On, Bloody Tears!"

 

[Torzelbaum]

Frankenstein's Monster Dance

(Shakewell had thought of that before me but I liked it so much that I changed mine to match his.)

 

[ShakeWell]

Frankenstein's Monster Dance

 

[Violentvixen]

Bloody Candy

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Bloody Tears/Monster Dance weeps it's way to victory while "Right On, Frankenstein" is affirmed.

Match 3​

Torzelbaum faces this Halloween challenge with a Heart of Fire, a cover by Banjo Guy Ollie, while @SpoonyBard gets some Shade, Man, Stage (Ghouls n Ghosts version) composed by Yuko Takehara, Toshihiko Horiyama, Makoto Tomozawa.

Match 4​

"Good King Moggle Mog XII went to town, on the Feast of Season", sings a very confused @SpoonyBard, with some credit to Masayoshi Soken while Dark Medusa is Always There in Our Hearts by the Flaming Lips.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Heart in Our Hearts

 

[Daikaiju]

Good King Shade

 

[WildcatJF]

Always There in Our Heart of Fire

 

[SpoonyBard]

My Noms

 

[ThornGhost]

Shade is Always There

 

[Kirin]

How did I not know there was a secret Ghouls and Ghosts track actually in a Mage Man game? Guess I’ll have to vote for that despite also liking the Guitar ’vania cover.

Shade King Ghoulie Mog

 

[Purple]

Heart in Heart

 

[Torzelbaum]

 

[Violentvixen]

Oh man that first one is really tough. The guitar one is beautiful and I love it, but as soon as I hear Ghouls and Ghosts my brain jumps to Halloween stuff. Gah.

Whoof. Going to go with Shade Man and Flaming Lips

 

[ShakeWell]

Heart of the Flaming Lips

 

[Issun]

Good King Shade

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Shade Man emerges from it's coffin while Always There in Our Hearts avoids a stake.

And the party goes on! Enjoy the cartilage mini-quiches and the marshmarrow smores.

Match 5
First, Daikaiju takes the crank and turns it up to Level 9 from the Legend of Zelda by Koji Kondo while Thornghost laments "Marilyn My Bitterness" by the Cruxshadows.
Level 9

Marilyn My Bitterness

Match 6
Then Kirin is an obedient servant and follows the Lorule Theme from Zelda: A Link Between Worlds by Ryo Nagamatsu while Shakewell leaves you in antici.... um... he never finished the sentence. Anyway, it's the Time Warp by the Cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Lorule Theme

The Time Warp

[Purple]

Zelda.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Zelda.

I went into this thinking this is the opposite of how I was going to vote. Strong competition all around, though.

 

[Daikaiju]

Zelda.

 

[ThornGhost]

As if possessed by Ganon himself I say Marilyn My Time Warp.

 

[Dark Medusa]

Zelda.

 

[WildcatJF]

Zelda.
