My Scary Halloween Video #2

So what sort of impact will this tanked economy have on Halloween and its trick-or-treaters? I'm eager to discuss the ramifications of this situation, but this topic has nothing to do with the music of Exit World so I shall proceed no further on the subject.

Here is my 2nd scary video creation for Halloween. Hope you like it. Again, the image is simple; just slowing walking down a dark and empty hallway with softly glowing lights at the end. Nothing gruesome. The atmosphere is enough. Very creepy indeed.



What do you think? The music comes from Boards of Canada and the song is called "Color of the Fire." I had it playing backwards on the video. To be honest, the song is pretty creepy in its own right playing normally. Here's how it sounds:



Interesting thing is, the voice comes from a Sesame Street clip of a little girl writing out the words "I love you." Here is that segment:


As one comment states,"In its normal form it just sounds normal and innocent, yet in Color of the Fire it sounds distorted and creepy as hell." Very true. You can take something as simple, unassuming and innocent and turn it into something sinister and frightening through sound technology. Boards of Canada did it by adding delay, distorting the original audio and adding unsettling keyboard sounds. Amazing what can be done.

So that is my 2nd scary video for Halloween. Stay tuned for my next one.
