This is one of those challenges where I enjoyed the song enough to make a full original afterwards. This spooky waltz style is something I would like to delve into a lot more (well...I suppose I want to do that with more genres in general). Getting the chance to do stuff like this and experiment with new genres is all thanks to you guys. I promise I'll keep learning and get better! We shall diversify, but keep it catchy, as is the dream of a video game composer :)

► Full song at - 6:26 ► Redone version at - 7:17 Spooky Video Game Themes. Ghost Level Themes. Whatever you want to call them. What can I say about these bone-chilling lads today? Spooky Video Game Themes aren't always necessarily "scary". Unless you consider the soundtrack for Luigi's Mansion to be terrifying (to be fair, there are some freaky songs on there). Either way, spooky video game themes can definitely invoke a feeling in a player that makes them think "oh boy, something's gonna pop out sooner or later". I've always had a deep love for these songs, minaly because the style can be so weird and slightly "off" at times. I love the unsettling feeling of horror themes. I love the waltzy feeling of fun spooky themes. With Luigi's Mansion 3 and Halloween around the corner, I thought it would be fun to do this challenge. Here is "Attempting to Make a Spooky Video Game Theme in 10 Minutes".
