Annual Halloween Castlevania Musical Moment
October 31, 2010
It just wouldn't be Halloween unless I took a moment to spotlight an outstanding piece of Konami's Castlevania lore, so of course this year can be no exception. This time I have a trio of terrifying tunes taken from the 2008 Nintendo Wii release Castlevania Judgment, a 3D fighting game that lacks in every department except for the music. Indeed, I think you'll find the musical score to be one of the strongest Castlevania soundtracks with its emphasis on rearrangements and remixes of familiar melodies. Take heart on this dark night of doom with "Vampire Killer" (originally from Castlevania), "Beginning" (originally from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse), and "Dracula's Castle" (originally from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night). It's a horrible night to have a curse, but a fantastic night for kick-ass music.
