"I clearly remember my friends and I at 13 years old conning our parents into letting us see ‘Halloween’ when it came out in 1978. We left the theater forever changed. We were damaged and scarred, with the shit genuinely scared out of us and that theme stuck firmly in our heads. John Carpenter, it’s your fault that I turned out the way I did." - Trent Reznor 2017
Not sure when Halloween became syndicated for television but that was my first exposure to it. We went out to trick or treat and when it was over we sat down and watched Halloween while out parents sifted through our candy to see if it was tainted...what a time!!!
Jarrod Charlifue Carpenter's minimalist scores are painted all through Pretty Hate Machine, Something I could never have could serve with the original Halloween track as theme and variation.
Driving home at midnight, unlit back roads, listening to this for the first time, can confirm. Checked my backseat once and kept expecting to see Mr. Myers on the side of the road.
"I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... The devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... Evil."
Before I listened to this, I looked into what John Carpenter thought of it, since he is a master in so many ways, and is very protective of his compositions. He approved. Then I listened, and I fully understand why. Needless to say, Trent and Ross are epic in their own rights.
This is cool if you'te into techno rock versions of the theme. I much prefer dark and scary over a club type theme which is what this ultimately sounds like. Nowhere close to what Carpenter created.
I love the perfect, noisy, beautiful chaos mixed in with this classic theme. Trent's screaming voice as a background vocal/instrument always amazes me, because you really have to listen to hear it.
Since I grew up watching such films, and because I’m a woman, upon listening to this, I removed my top and bra and went outside in the dark to investigate, making sure to call out things like, “If this is your idea of a joke I’m not laughing.” Also for good measure, I fell down about 5 times.
An electrifying version. It has those sweet overpowering NIN (Trent) touches to it, and yet the overall sound and tone remains pure Halloween. Totally does justice to Carpenter’s version.
Happy happy Halloween Halloween Halloween, happy happy Halloween silver shamrocks! - Whats worse? Snakes and bugs coming out of your head or having that song stuck in your head for the next couple of weeks?
What the original theme did, subtly, and which this version emphasises, is suggest a deeper, scarier and more primal horror. Yes, Michael Myers goes around murdering the hell out of people, but what drives him is more vast and frightening than simply a madman in a mask. Myers is malice and death personified - he REALLY is the boogeyman, the thing that terrified Loomis to the point of madness. And that's what the score suggests, with looming menace.
Yeah, this is like Halloween from michaels POV. It’s what’s behind the mask, the original is from the point of view of everyone else. I love this comment.
He is the literal manifestation of Samhain, as if the holiday came to life to claim what's rightfully it's own. To reap what it has sown. God I fucking love Halloween
@@neonsamus It's broadly implied that Myers is something... worse, though real life psychopaths with their social and professional success, wealth and power, are far more terrifying.
Totally man. Trent is awesome anyway......and this is one of the best projects he did outside NIN..... I like it just as I do Carpenter and 90% of his movies!!
I love how it stays true to the original in more ways than one, yet distinctly sounds like the work of Trent and Atticus (at least to people familiar with their work). I love it.
I started playing this while my dog was asleep and that first chime made her leap up barking. That's how you know you've made effective music: when the freaking animals are scared of it.
To ignore Trent’s entire catalogue prior to his collaboration with Atticus to focus solely on his body of work in conjunction with one person, (since 2005), would be a shortsighted abomination. Atticus has only been truly acknowledged as being on the scene since 2004 and has always worked in collaboration with others (since 1992 and his less than stellar music with other British artists); Trent has written entire albums on which he has played all of the instruments, produced, edited and programmed all by himself. Atticus has a less impressive career prior to teaming up with Trent. So, in acknowledging Trent’s genius, I am not dismissing Atticus’ contribution to this particular piece of work, I am simply admiring and recognizing Trent’s continued brilliance, now entering his fourth decade of published music. I look forward to their continued reworking and original material collaborations as well as Trent’s perpetual eminence.✌️
There seem to be two types of comments. "I like it for what it is." "I dislike it for what it isn't" Don't let your expectations rob you of appreciation, my friends.
Trent and Atticus also won a CMA award for their work on "Old Town Road," they have done all the music for Watchmen, and now, they are doing the score for Disney/Pixar's Soul. These two are unstoppable!!
How does he manage to still make it sound so true to the original?? It still has the exact same vibe that Carpenter's original version had yet I can plainly tell it's Reznor and Ross. This is gonna be an amazing film
Perdón pero el inglés no es mi idioma nativo. Primero sin el tema original este no existiría, y si fueses un verdadero fan de Carpenter y de los films de horror apreciarias más el tema original por su historia (quién lo compuso).
maria martinez. My comment was meant to be enjoyed by nine inch nails fans. Your comments have diluted the point. The original Halloween theme is very similar to this darker reimagining. It would definitely have only made the original more horrifying.
Have you ever heard something just so spectacular that it makes you feel like you're having an out-of-body experience? That's how I felt hearing this for the first time. Just amazing.
This is light years better than the recent Halloween score. I feel like they keep watering down this movie. I’d love to see an arthouse experimental version of this movie that’s more dark and suspenseful. The latest movies just feel like an action comedy.
Just don't say stupidities like that. Carpenter WAS a master filmmaker and a GREAT composer. But he has always been a money lover, far from the rebel image he has carefully fabricated, like Reznor. Now he would eat shit if it payed well. Reznor and Zimmer and those fuckers can fuckin' continue to do OSTs, great Hollywood scores died with Jerry Goldsmith.
Dr Lee Percussion David Gordon Green has been commissioned to do a Halloween film with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role for a final confrontation. Normally I would consider it a bad idea but this song gives me too many happy feelings to not like the idea now.
The soundscape in Prince of Darkness puts you on edge somehow. Don't know what or how, but every time I watch it the most foreboding feeling come over me.
so great to hear this revival of synth giving it the respect it deserves. staying true to the original but giving it a face lift. The synth in this is amazing. on this the 4/20/20 for Halloween fans. the perfect song for the perfect day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just chilling at home alone listening to a playlist. I zoned out for minute, came into the living room and this shit is playing. Very eerie feeling lol
I have been a Michael Myers/Halloween fan all of my life, and it makes me so excited to see things like this and the new Halloween being released next year. Myers is getting the credit he deserves all over again.

Then thank you John Carpenter.

Mine was Pet Sematary. I was traumatized.

Trent is pretty much the master of uneasy atmospheres and John Carpenter was the master of 80’s dark synth . Can’t think of a better combo
Jarrod Charlifue Carpenter's minimalist scores are painted all through Pretty Hate Machine, Something I could never have could serve with the original Halloween track as theme and variation.
Was the master? He still IS the master!
More than just dark synth, Big Trouble in Little China had some of that rock synth edge or whatever what you want to call it.
If youre having trouble getting into this version. Go for a walk or a jog at night while listening to it. You'll love it after that.
I loved it, but i'm not sure if i would do that :P
HURT ME MORE
oh. how did I not think of that. I will seriously do this on my next running
Driving home at midnight, unlit back roads, listening to this for the first time, can confirm. Checked my backseat once and kept expecting to see Mr. Myers on the side of the road.

@@SomethingThatSCREAMS nah Trent added his own bite to carpenters genius, go check out Quake’s tracks to see the same kinda vibe you’ll love em
Trent & Atticus should release a full album of horror movie theme covers. Just sayin.
Splendid idea
Interesting. They really fit that retro vibe of Halloween. I can do without the ending though
Damien Clark I love the ending
Yess great idea
Would love their take on the Suspiria theme, for example. Or Psycho!
Carpenter, Ross and Reznor should collaborate on a science fiction cyberpunk film. Pretty please.
Right! All geniuses!
Ohhhhh gooooddd. YES.
yes yes yes !!!!
hat idea was about time to exist[v]
Arnold SWARZZENEGER glares at you...DO IT.
I love the perfect, noisy, beautiful chaos mixed in with this classic theme. Trent's screaming voice as a background vocal/instrument always amazes me, because you really have to listen to hear it.
Amanda Christiansen I wondered if I was hearing that or not. You're definetly right.

Classic, Sarah Michelle. Great job!
No pic or it never happened!!
This is a great comment, deserves way more likes.
:)
Next time, after the bra comes off, go for the pistol!
Anything Trent touches turns to gold. Chills
It already was gold
Atticus Ross makes Trent Reznor anything sound like going down the wormhole of a David Lynch nightmare! Kudos to all three!
An electrifying version. It has those sweet overpowering NIN (Trent) touches to it, and yet the overall sound and tone remains pure Halloween. Totally does justice to Carpenter’s version.
This theme has been making my skin crawl for 30+ years now
I said to my cat: "They're coming for you, Max!" His eyes widened.
LMAO! 🙈💯🤙🏽💋💃🏻♥️
That's funny, reminds me of 'They're coming to get you, Barbara!' from Night of the Living Dead.
mph seti Well, it's not your cat really...I mean it's not even a cat...I mean you're the real victim.
liar
@@nihilist4184 I really love it when people live up to their usernames
I love how they incorporated the sound of Myers breathing inside the mask. Makes it extra creepy.
MrKneller aaaaaah thats what it is. Didn't think of that! Ugh love it even more now 😩☺️🎃🙌🏻
God King Bob Ross pretty sure it was done is rob zombies addition.
That is an awesome effect.
Howler Monkey sound
Considering the length and structure, this has the feel like it was made to sync for a specific scene of some kind
One of the best versions ive heard. Listen to this while jogging through the woods at night for full effect
I just hope they cover Silver Shamrocks next.
John Dorough TURN IT OFF!!!!!!
Happy happy Halloween Halloween Halloween, happy happy Halloween silver shamrocks! - Whats worse? Snakes and bugs coming out of your head or having that song stuck in your head for the next couple of weeks?

Come on please you've got to turn it off next channel. Please the next channel it needs to be turned off.
Those masks made a right killing in the market lol

he represents psychopaths. I think that's what the emptiness of his eye sockets are supposed to convey. And of course the lack of expression
@@neonsamus It's broadly implied that Myers is something... worse, though real life psychopaths with their social and professional success, wealth and power, are far more terrifying.
The last 3 minutes is basically the NIN version!
Adam Blister I read this before I hit 6:31 and anticipated it. Awesome.
Adam Blister and the first two. And a minute or so in the middle too 😄
entire thing is nine inch nails mate, you missed The Fragile or summit?
I'll take this instead most days. Not subtle; but the TR/AR version is not really different...
th-cam.com/video/8TUEv2pHfFQ/w-d-xo.html
thatguyhippie horrible it’s not scary or catches the vibe of the first two films. But that’s your opinion
When that beat kicks in @ 6:31 ... intense, excitingly paranoid thrill-kill terror... WOW!!!!
Yeah, no doubt. This song has one hell of a payoff!
Totally man. Trent is awesome anyway......and this is one of the best projects he did outside NIN..... I like it just as I do Carpenter and 90% of his movies!!
Horror films DO NOT have beat , but hang on it'll be a PG13 anyway for the little kids out their..
@roblex63 shut the fuck up
It's ok. However 5/4 time beats are quite hard on the mind whom is used to 4/4
Listening to this as my favorite time of year sets in. Spooky time.
Just....YES! Its almost physical experience, almost now in summer i feel dark hidden between houses and streetlight and leaves....WOW!
I come back to this time and time again. This version is...Chef's kiss.
God damn that second act of the main theme is amazing
I love how it stays true to the original in more ways than one, yet distinctly sounds like the work of Trent and Atticus (at least to people familiar with their work). I love it.
This got me closer to god
FreaK Official *Shrek
The Nemesis ... no!
If this song was a person, I'd wanna fuck it like an animal.
I felt it from the inside
I wanna fuck it like an animaal!
I'll play this on loop till the new film comes out.
RoninjoeChronicles i am now
ken Raines epic man!!!!!
I am now too.
I'm 23 hours into the loop. I might take a break though.
Good luck with listening to this for like a year
A film by David Fincher.
Whitebolls92 that would be fucking neat
😱
If only...
Whitebolls92 A David Fincher Halloween would be amazing
Whitebolls92 Not a bad idea
The irony of something so over-produced attempting to capture the spirit of something so stark and simple. But…I like it.
Would love to see Trent & Atticus take on The Fog score
Yes, please hire Reznor & Ross to score the new Halloween sequel with Carpenter. This was perfection, it will only get darker.
It's that time of year again
Today I knew about this version. Instantly addicted, this is like the fifth time I listen the song.
I started playing this while my dog was asleep and that first chime made her leap up barking. That's how you know you've made effective music: when the freaking animals are scared of it.
Considering what Michael does to dogs in that first film, she has a right to be scared
Anything Trent touches and creates is pure genius. This is delicious. ❤️🎃
CarolynHauntedIsle fuck Atticus, right?
Nick Ludwig Thats what you took away from this?
CarolynHauntedIsle well the beat was already there they just added a little bit. I love what they made for Gone Girl!

Nailed it.
I see what you did there :P
Nailed.....excellent
This is amazing love it so much at 59 even. Love Trent Reznor
This completed a chapter of my life I never knew was unfinished.
There seem to be two types of comments.
"I like it for what it is."
"I dislike it for what it isn't"
Don't let your expectations rob you of appreciation, my friends.
The point is, it simply doesn't need to be. The original was all that was ever needed.
Oh yes it fucking did.
Leave it to Trent to make the creepiest, scariest, and most chilling theme music ever even more creepy, scary, and sinister. Fantastic job.
Trent and Atticus also won a CMA award for their work on "Old Town Road," they have done all the music for Watchmen, and now, they are doing the score for Disney/Pixar's Soul. These two are unstoppable!!
Always heard the influence on “Something I can never have” piano.
Have you heard the news????? IT'S been confirmed.................. there's going to be a sequel to HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!
One of the finest things I've ever heard, thank you.
I'm loopiing this tomorrow!
this will be on repeat until november 1st.
Every year I come back to this.
How does he manage to still make it sound so true to the original?? It still has the exact same vibe that Carpenter's original version had yet I can plainly tell it's Reznor and Ross. This is gonna be an amazing film
Brilliant. Need more stuff like this in my life.
As soon as the dink-a-dinks started, I felt compelled to reach for a knife
If this had been the theme in the original, people would have been crying tears of blood in the movie theater.
EequalsMC2d sorry but the original theme is so perfect.. and makes sense if you know who's his creator

Jesse Ashford Yes. So much going on. The subtle hint of how it's going to conclude before going there. Extremely cool rework.
What an excellent mixing and meshing of the two styles into one that melds perfectly, they did John Carpenter good with this mix!!!
YES! This is going to make the perfect addition to my Halloween Party Playlist!
Bristol Sorensen play it on Christmas coward!
i like it sounds great!!!!!!!! am going to save it
This is a god damn masterpiece.
I haven't felt this electric since...every time I hear something they do together.
Stunningly macabre .
Macabre, has to be one of my favorite adjectives and I rarely see it or get to use it.
Omg same! I love that word... makes me feel intellectual whenever I use it.
Macabre and a beat cannot co-exist ... major fail,

Amazing! Trent reznor's style is something that gets me everytime.
If this was approved by the very same label to which John Carpenter belongs....THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED in "HALLOWEEN" 2018 PERIOD.
SECCION10X It is, but if we are lucky it will probably be relegated to the end credits
Epic! He's coming home October 19th, 2018
This just ripped my soul of amaze balls. Can we get Trent, Atticuz and John to work on the music together for the new film!!!!??
RoninjoeChronicles maybe they are or this could be the end credit song 🤘🏼
Please don't use the word Amaze balls....
What new film?
Ooh that’d be cool
Dr Lee Percussion David Gordon Green has been commissioned to do a Halloween film with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role for a final confrontation. Normally I would consider it a bad idea but this song gives me too many happy feelings to not like the idea now.
Just when I thought Trent and Atticus could not get any better, you never fail to amaze us time and time again. BEST. BAND. EVER!
This might be the most evil song i ever listened to.
I love this tone of the piano and this synthesizer affect with clean background! Thank you Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
6:30 till the end is full on Escape From New York..
The soundscape in Prince of Darkness puts you on edge somehow. Don't know what or how, but every time I watch it the most foreboding feeling come over me.

Starts head banging with the head he's holding.

"oh shit"
pick up his mask and wear it again
continue headbanging...
so great to hear this revival of synth giving it the respect it deserves. staying true to the original but giving it a face lift. The synth in this is amazing. on this the 4/20/20 for Halloween fans. the perfect song for the perfect day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Eerie
Whoa! Nice stuff, this....did not know it existed, even....my favorite time of the year still yields surprises!
This is fucking incredible! Trent and Atticus can do no wrong, hopefully this makes it into the new movie!
Youve fooled them havent you michael but not me

The end of that is amazing.
I was just chilling at home alone listening to a playlist. I zoned out for minute, came into the living room and this shit is playing. Very eerie feeling lol
Badass...makes me hungry for popcorn
I play this when playing as Peekaboo Myers in Dead By Daylight. Really sets the mood.
I just locked all my doors and windows
It's too late, Paul.
You know that can't stop Michael Myers....especially 3 days `til Halloween
If 870,000 people are flocking to listen to this audio, just imagine how many people will be watching the trailer for the movie when it arrives.
I can easily see this being the trailer music for the upcoming movie.
which one ? my little pony 2..
I want a six minute trailer.
how about a trailer park horror movie? well that would be every weekend - could be more of episodes then
I love dark Ambient music..This is
awesome..One of a kind..

Anything Trent touches is gold. Perfection
Literally, these guys just brought this theme to the next level.
Love this. The dark ambience, creepy samples and dissonance definitely add to the atmosphere.
I really hope this is in the new film.
I have been a Michael Myers/Halloween fan all of my life, and it makes me so excited to see things like this and the new Halloween being released next year. Myers is getting the credit he deserves all over again.

Reznor and Carpenter? Perfect match!!! And movie next year,that will be super. I´m sure of it.
