Captain,
Nice one! I like light hearted creepy tunes smile Cool minimalistic approach. I would definitely add some FX, perhaps wolf howling, squeaky door hinges etc., to make it more animated. Fun listen. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Captain,

Tell me how you got the idea making this song?
Were there kids around?
Was it your turn to make Halloween a big party?

I think you made a terrific song, where that creepy laughter fits like a glove.
And in the more silent parts I like how the guitar and the vocals play along. Very cool!

I can understand Stefan wants your laughter for his projects. He likes creepy sounds. It feels so real unreal.
Don't tell me this is how you always laugh!

Oh, and pay good attention to Misha's advise! He's good on those things. A hauting churchbell perhaps?

I enjoyed your song very much,
Hans

Thanks for listening.

How did I get the idea?
Well, even though I've got songs in many genre, I'm a blues guy at heart.
A friend told me the key to financial success was to make a Christmas song.
I thought that made sense but, I wracked my brain for "bluesy" Christmas songs, so I just changed my focus to Halloween.
From inception to completion this took me about an hour, I wish I would have spent a little more time to polish it up.

Glad you enjoyed it.

An excellent creepy fun filled Halloween blues song. Super vocal and guitar work.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Oh, man, I can hear ya wringing your hands with that laugh. The vocal is perfect for this song; love the low part. It begs the question: why doesn't the Boogie Man boogie?


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hello CaptainMoto,

rankly, your composition lends itself perfectly to the Halloween party. It's a blues that plunges us into a particular atmosphere and the Haha reinforces this distressing state. I enjoyed the orchestration. Well done.

Kindly regard
