[SotW] Song of the Fortnight - FORTNIGHT 253 Voting/FORTNIGHT 254 Nominating

Home alone CHECK night time CHECK thunderstorm outside CHECK fortnightly VGM thing CHECK - SOTHALLOWEEN GOGOGO

Organ is always sex, so I give Bio Hazard Symphony Op. 91 Crime and Punishment - Demise of Mankind Mass in B minor the thumbs up. This one has some spine-tingling moments, though these are not inspired by fear exactly. I would definitely play this over breakfast, maybe brunch, if I had my own scary manor. Enjoyability: 8. Scariness: 5.

Dead Space 2 Original Videogame Score - Say Hello To My Little Friends had better spook me or : orionragefist :. It does put me on edge, if only because it never decides to settle down: this is to the track's credit. It runs the whole gamut of spooky clichés well though sacrifices some memorability in the process. 0:58-1:38 sticks with me though and makes me think this track would go well in my bathroom. Enjoyability: 6. Scariness: 8

Sorry I'm just not feeling Dimahoo (Game Rip) - DARK SKY ~ Boss 3 (Last). It's barely passable as a Halloween nom IMO and as such I can only judge it as a normal song, how boring. Could possibly play in the trap chamber which actually doesn't work. Enjoyability: 4. Scariness: 1.

Kamaitachi no Yoru Special Arrange Pack - Night of the Kamaitachi is average dark piano, average scary. I don't think I'll be revisiting it but it provides a nice ambience. Definitely the doorbell tune. Enjoyability: 5. Scariness: 5.

Cool nom! Muppet Monster Adventure (Game Rip) - Hallways of Doom is a fun romp that gets me tapping my feet, but not maliciously so. This would play when I fed the bats or danced with the ghosts. Enjoyability: 8. Scariness: 4.

NiGHTS ~Journey of Dreams~ Original Soundtrack - D'Force Master has Kobayashi's fingerprints all over it. It's got a pleasing masquerade or deathcarnival theme to it, which is hampered only by some irksome samples. Neat climax by the way. This is certainly a piece for sex parties. Enjoyability: 7. Scariness: 6

Song of Saya Original Soundtrack - Song of Saya I isn't exactly scary, but I think it makes up for that with a whole bucket full of eerie chills. A lovely swaying melody with gorgeous cadence is contrasted with some twisted goings on which give the song an unsettling sound. I also vehemently reject orion's assessment that the vocal delivery is j-pop! However I will say that this is a good song for romantic dates (ideally not with hideous ghouls but ya can't win 'em all). Enjoyability: 9. Scariness: 8.

the POINT of a musical manor is to justify VGM infatuation right?
