Halloween Theme Tune Download

The theme to The Exorcist is a different story. Its name is Tubular Bells and Prog-Rock artist Michael Oldfield recorded it in 1973 on the album of the same name. The same year, The Exorcist premiered and used the first few minutes of the nearly 59 minute piece for its horror theme.

The haunting melody of the Addams Family theme is unmistakably familiar to many. Yet, there's a distinctive magic in hearing classics through unconventional channels. Journey with us as we explore the transformative power of instruments like the kalimba and tongue drum, casting this iconic tune in a captivatingly fresh light.
The original theme features a simple piano music. Upper melody is based on a three note motif, using A root note and perfect 5th and a minor 6th. This motif starts in the key of F#minor while the bass melody moves slowly from F# up to A.
Halloween 6's theme was mostly disliked by audiences. The original music score is composed by long-time Halloween contributor Alan Howarth, his work in the series dating back to his collaboration with John Carpenter on Halloween II. However, Howarth's score was redone when the film went through reshoots. A soundtrack album was released by Varèse Sarabande, and is an unusual combination of the music featured in the original cut of the film, as well as that of the final theatrical cut. Basically, the Halloween 6 theme features a tapping beat amongst a loud guitar rock version of the Halloween theme.

One of the most recognizable songs from any scary movie is the theme to the 1978 classic Halloween. Composed by horror music legend John Carpenter, this song acts as the theme not only for the 1978 film, but the latest trilogy of reboot films that debuted in 2018, 40 years after the original composition hit the ears of slasher fans everywhere.
It was definitely a waste when 1988's Child's Play trilogy was left without a specific theme song the way most other 80s slashers had. But in 2019, all was redeemed over 30 years after Chucky first reigned terror on Andy and his mom when a Child's Play remake was made.
"The Buddi Song" was written by Bear McCreary and performed by Chucky's voice actor in the film, Mark Hamill. What starts out as a sweet song from one best friend to another slowly turns into an eerie tune featuring a creepy children's choir.
Halloweentime hit Ghostbusters came out in 1984 and had a hit theme song to match, written and performed by Ray Parker Jr. The Grammy Award-winner perfectly captures the comedic presence of the Ghostbusters with lyrics just haunting enough to spook you.
From its slow, haunting tune to the way you just can't help but see Pennnywise's looming face in your mind when you hear it, this tune will have every party guest looking over their shoulder for a floating red balloon.
Of all the slasher villains' theme songs, Freddy Krueger's has got to be the creepiest. Also called "Freddy's Theme," the "One, two, buckle my shoe" parody appears several times throughout the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.
As haunting as the Poltergeist's theme may be, there's nothing more terrifying than children singing. "Carol Anne's Theme," composed by Jerry Goldsmith, creepily captures everything horrifying about the supernatural horror.
Believe it or not, at first, nobody thought that Halloween was going to be such a successful movie, let alone the beginning of a 13-film franchise. The first installment of Halloween had an incredibly small budget. In fact, John Carpenter had to create the iconic theme song himself so as not to go over the music budget for the film.
Surprisingly, these iconic theme songs took him only an hour to create. For both Assault and Halloween, I go into a studio and depending on how much time I had, I'd do several pieces. For Assault, I had a day; for Halloween, I had three days," the director revealed in a new interview with Consequence of Sound. "That theme was done in like an hour. We moved on."
Legendary film director John Carpenter uses his own theme song from Halloween as a ringtone. This is according to a story from David Gordon Green, who's helming the sequel coming out this year. Green and the cast of the new movie hit Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con today. There, they showed off some new footage and took questions from fans about the latest addition to the classic horror series.
Carpenter is returning as executive producer, and is said to have been quite involved with the creative process. Green shared at the Hall H panel that he learned about the master of horror's phone settings during their first meeting. "In the middle of the meeting his phone went off and it was the theme from Halloween," Green said, "and I almost lost it."
A lot of people probably have the Halloween theme announcing phone calls. But Carpenter has a special claim to the tune. In addition to directing, producing, and co-writing the original, he also composed all the music. The familiar, synthesized tune is one of the most recognizable movie themes ever, so it surely has a special place in Carpenter's heart. In a move that delighted fans, Carpenter will also return to compose the score for the new movie.
Not only did Carpenter direct the eerie slasher flick, but he also composed the original score. After the studio nearly balked on the film from watching a cut without music, Carpenter came up with the now ubiquitous theme using 5/4 time on piano that was taught to him many years earlier by his father.
Then we see Michael Myers, with a glowing jack-o-lantern at his side, break into the start of the tune. Wilson fills out the music by using the body of the guitar to thumb and tap the percussive parts which we get to enjoy in split screen.
There have been times when a cover of a song ends up being better than the original. In my travels and my years with CBC, I've come across it occasionally, but not too often. Each time, however, it lights me up. A familiar tune is interpreted in a whole new way, and I...
Yet another tune from 1984, this timeless song hit #9 on the U.K. charts at the time of its release. Romantic and haunting at the same time, it was released as part of Echo & The Bunnymen's album Ocean Rain and was featured in the 2001 film Donnie Darko.
We recently did a Top 10 Tom Petty Songs list, and this is a great track we didn't get to squeeze in! Petty wrote this song after visiting a nightclub in downtown Los Angeles. While it's a chipper tune about partying, the lyrics about impulsive behavior and the "living dead" make this a wonderful zombified Halloween song.
A song by the Fresh Prince that isn't about Bel-Air! Over a horror-type beat made by DJ Jazzy Jeff, Will Smith lays down some bars about his encounter with Freddy Krueger and goes into detail to connect it with the iconic Nightmare on Elm Street movie series. Like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, Smith shows off his abilities as a skilled storyteller in this track.
While this funky tune is actually about sleazy people living in New York during the 80s, it fits in with Halloween playlists because of the deadly "man-eating" woman Hall & Oates describe. Is she a vampire? A succubus? Who knows. In any case, this song off H20 certainly doesn't lose its charm.
Used for the movie of the same name, "Weird Science" is actually something of a shame for Oingo Boingo due to the fact an incomplete demo of this song was used for the film. The band wanted to fine-tune it, but their label went behind their back and handed over the unfinished version. Fortunately, Oingo Boingo was able to include a better cut of the track on their 1985 album Dead Man's Party.
