Halloween, while not the first slasher film, was the first major box office success in the genre. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This Halloween I had an opportunity to write two fun articles on composing freaky Halloween music. The first focuses on improvisation and the ways that you can use improvisation to create scary film music and gives step-by-step examples of a short scary sound track. Included are tips on creating dramatic effects and logistical issues like timecode. Enjoy great Halloween film music examples from Psycho , Halloween , and other haunted favorites in the second Halloween film music article at Easy Ear Training.

Vampira Queen of the Darkness Interested in some cheesy and fun Halloween pop songs about vampires, lonely ghosts, and all out Halloween spookiness? This year I had a great time creating two fun pop songs for my favorite time of the year. Of course, I'm not much of a pop diva, experimental electronica and awesome classical are my usual musical cups o' tea, but I enjoyed dabbling in some fun cheesy pop for this Halloween! The first free Halloween pop song is Halloween RoboBop at Easy Ear Training. Not only is this a fun and silly holiday song, it also teaches some basic music ear training with a fun lesson in I-IV-V chord progressions. The first part opens up with a super creepy symphonic scary organ with strings, then bounces right into electronica 8 bit silliness with vocal synthesis from Vocal Writer, ending with a fun 50s doowop about a lonely ghost.
