I feel that chromaticism is usually a hard thing to get right, but it’s used here masterfully! The chromatic organ run 0:43 is a powerful lesson on how to add intensity to a piece.

Personally I really want this tune make it into a real video game boss fight. Thanks for sharing!

A very atmospheric piece that transitions between whimsical, eerie, and doom-laden seamlessly. The compositional skill here is evident. Excellence!

The dark atmosphere in your intro is perfect for a boss fight lead-in. I love the piano melody that comes in at 0:29, as this really sells me on the Halloween theme. The intense drums and organ work so well together to suddenly jump into the intense beginning of the fight. The transition into the second part of the song is very well done and feels really big! Following the big crash is a section that is a little more subdued than I expected, but that seems to make the boss feel a little more creepy and works really well for the spooky intention. Great work and thank you for sharing!

Very foreboding. The burst of organ runs was a highlight for me, a personally would have liked more it.

That was really cool! I like how it builds up to the organ and horns towards the beginning but then it goes back to being sort of subtle and atmospheric. There's a lot of cool subtlety to this piece where the instruments come in to play small parts to add to the spooky atmosphere.

Oooh this is creepy. And intense. Just listening to the instruments makes my shoulders get all tense! You made a lot of killer instrumentation choices here, and I think that's a huge part of what makes this song really shine. But of course that can't stand on its own, the composition is also great. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your future stuff!
