Here it is homies, we need to show support for Halloween! So I'm putting forth a challenge. The GCOM BLUESEXPLOSION had a pretty good turnout, but I wanna see what you guys can do under "special circumstances" heh Style and genre doesn't matter. recording quality doesn't mattter either, but don't be afraid to enlist the assistance of those around that can help, eh?

Here's the rules;

1)Find a "creepy" or dark, or otherwise Halloween type themesong... (You yknow, like A horror themesong, Halloween, Candyman, Harry Potter...)
2)Do a cover of it.
3)Post your cover (As an MP3) and a link to the tune here (Use soundclick or icompositions or something)
4)I'll snag all of the tunes and create a separate soundclick or icompositions account to host them in one place.

OR

1)Create an original "creepy" or dark, or otherwise Halloween-suited type of themesong... (You yknow, along the lines of Halloween, Candyman, Harry Potter...)
2)Record it, and rip it to MP3
3)Post your tune (As an MP3) and a link to the tune here (Use soundclick or icompositions or something)
4)I'll snag all of the tunes and create a separate soundclick or icompositions account to host them in one place.
5)Write a breif synopsis/short story to which your song/composition might suitably be the theme to...

Happy Halloween, suckas. Now get to work.

Creepy in my book needs keys and weird chords... I can't do either... That makes it even more of a challenge. Time to bust out the bass ;) What's the deadline?

My idea of your Halloween comes from non-scary movies and I don't watch actual scary movies too often. So don't be surprised if in the end I got nothing to show...

I'd like to see/hear some guitar on it. If it's a synth thing, ADD guitar too it... lol (if you don't add guitar to it, post it anyways, I'm sure everyone will dig it!
IbzRG, I know you could do it. Besides, it'll be kinda fun to listen to everyone's stuff... (You should do a slide thing! hint-hint)

The deadline? Let's say October 31st!

Okay I sent the synth thing. I haven't tried putting guitar to it yet, not sure if I'm capable of doing that, but I'll try sometime.

I think it sent, I don't know. My internet is not working very well today...

I haven't seen anything yet, dude. Here's my offering. I'll "Kick it off". Hopefully some of you others can get in on this; could be very, very cool! It's my version of "Tales From The Crypt" themesong... hehehehe It's a bit off the wall, I know... BUT it IS in keeping with the spirit of Halloween, to be sure...

Anyways, enjoy!

I finally got an MP3 to go though, and your mailbox is full...

And your version of Tales From The Crypt themesong was cool!

still can't record but i'll just post this real quick, i suppose.

Started this like 2 years ago and never finished it but once i can record again, i got some serious monster riffs to add.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=266988&songID=2881035

basically, i wanted to try a Type O Negative-ish sounding song. All doomy and stuff.... just.... in standard tuning. not all the way down to Bb like Type O.

Just listening again, dude. I figured I'd post a comment or 2 about it. Very Sabbathy, very dark. Me likey. Almost get's one in the mood to carve a pumpkin, eh? I'd like to hear this one with vocals, I bet a "Cradle Of Filth" type of treatment would be oh so cool... (Instill the fear, Instill the fear...)

I must say Het, I'm most dismayed about your recording situation. I really look forward to your stuff being posted here at G.com, and heck, sometimes I'd even venture over to JDB to see if there was anything poking around there to check out.

Hurry, get yer shit fixed! we need you!
