In The Streets On Halloween The Spirits Will Arise

In honor of the day, I give you Halloween, as performed by the German band Helloween:



Yes, it's cheesy, and it's cheesy in a way that's only possible for a German metal band in the 80s.
Still, I have sort of a soft spot for Helloween. Despite some language barriers that can lead to some truly cheesetastic lyrics, overall I enjoy most of their songs. While in many ways their earnestness leads inexorably to cheesiness, I still kind of admire them for it, and it's clear that they do have a sense of humor about it all.
The song is from the album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, which, along with Part 2, serves as a sort of semi-concept album, in that there is a specific narrative woven into many (but not all) of the songs. The full version of Halloween is 13 minutes long, and contains a lot of elements of the narrative, which were edited out in order to cut the song down to a manageable length. The end result is...well, not so good as the full-length original.
Here's a special bonus Helloween video, Dr. Stein, from Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2:



In any case, Happy Halloween everyone. Have fun, be safe, and remember not to eat any unwrapped candy, and watch out for razor blades in those caramel apples.
