Halloween II - John Carpenter & Alan Howarth Cover

Happy Halloween folks! If you like what I do, buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/scottamp...
In 2016, I covered John Carpenter's classic theme from Halloween. The following year, I arranged a medley of tunes from Halloween III. It's bugged me for the last couple of years that I didn't do Halloween II just to fill in the gap. So this year, finally, I give you more from the night he came home...

In 1982, when I was a kid, around 12 or so, I'll never forget when the organist at St. Augustine's was fired right before Halloween because he was teaching kids how to play this theme on the church organ! LOL! Unfortunately for the parish he was never asked to hand in his keys. He went into the church on Halloween night, opened all the doors and windows went up into the loft, set up mics, connected them to amplifiers and played this at 9p that night. LOUDLY. He was arrested for trespassing and had to pay to repair some of the stained-glass windows in the organ loft because they cracked from the soundwaves.

0:10 Halloween II main theme 2:15 Laurie's theme 3:21 The shape stalks again 4:12 HII theme remix

[@Stinckyfatmama]

This is like a perfect blend of 1978 and 2018 vibes.

[@nickavenoso7851]

1981 rather. Halloween II was released in 1981. But, anyway you’re right. It’s like old meets modern.

[@bradchervel5202]

Its 95 degrees out and I just got the chills!!!

[@DaftWullieFeegle]

Lol me too

[@bartolomeorejowski5904]

100%

[@puchaol]

I think you captured the essence of Halloween with this cover

[@steveking1037]

II is the best version of the classic theme. I love the build up with the opening Bassier notes.

[@Gojirawars03]

“Is this some kind of joke? I’ve been trick or treated to death tonight!” “You don’t know what death is!”

[@chendzeeali6545]

While I was only 6 or so when Halloween came out. I do remember seeing it. That said Halloween 2 and Friday the 13th are the 2 movies I have the most fond memories of hiding under blankets and enjoying. I LOVE the theme from Halloween II. The Halloween theme in general is easily hands down the best horror theme of all time. The Shape Hunts Allyson is an amazing addition as well.

[@thales2501]

So you are 50 now? Nice

[@julixxxx590]

In my opinion, for me this is the best remix I have heard of shape stalks again, this message is translated by the google translator, because I really don't speak English xd

[@thefastandthefurious1]

Holy shit this is good. Especially starting at 3:22. Sounds EXACT

[@Lil_Mikey01]

Would you please consider performing the entire Halloween II opening theme sequence? You have the best iteration I’ve ever heard. Thank you very much indeed for sharing.

[@Nizaammosesguitarist]

These are the exact same synths John carpenter used in Escape from New York, absolulely love it, well done bro

[@joegould7487]

One of my all time favourite themes. Been listening to this track non stop for the past year so you've gotta understand that when I saw that you'd done a cover on it... I was one happy boi

[@joegould7487]

@Scary Skull 1998 I think without Halloween 1, this theme wouldn't have been as impactful with it being the original. But because the task of the opening was to reassure the audience that they're watching a Halloween film, this theme really did the job well and added some new twists to the theme hinting at a change in content from the first one. That's the way I see it lol

[@TheNotoriousKAZ86]

I've always felt the main music for both Halloween and Halloween II reflected Michael's character in their respective movies. The music from the first film sounded eerie and mysterious as with Michael in that film, where he's a ghost-like, mostly in the shadows and takes his time stalking his victims before killing them. The music from the second film is a lot more intense and sinister, which again fits Michael as he's now pissed off and more focused on finishing what he started, not to mention he's more brutal as well. Awesome work on the cover 😁

[@mattgrant57]

Could you do a cover of the opening titles to Halloween 3? It is an odd ball one but I think it could be done.

[@ScottAmpleford]

I did a cover of music from H3 a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_LqJ-VepqihpY However, I elected not to include the opening titles from my medley.

[@zlessly]

what are the time signatures used here?

[@goldeneyefleming]

top

[@josephf3713]

could you do a full cover of just the main theme ?

[@ScottAmpleford]

I have a cover of the original Halloween main theme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIWvgqiDr6p9rLs For fear of repeating myself, I won't be revisiting the franchise again for a while.

[@Hank_Poole]

Very good, you should try H2O now but I imagine that’s a hard one.

[@zrensolo6286]

May I use this for a fan film project?

[@ScottAmpleford]

I don't have a problem with it, as long as I get to see it :)
