![OC ReMix #4945: Friday the 13th "You and Your Friends Are Dead." by Juan Medrano
https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04945
Trick or treat!!! It's a bit of both, as I've outsourced this year's Halloween writeups to the community-at-large, who came through in spades! (If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go as a team!) A tremendous THANK YOU to gravitygauntlet, Chimpazilla, minusworld, The Vodoú Queen, WiFiSunset, and Argle for taking time out, which has easily made this the biggest Halloween ReMix release day in OCR history! Enjoy this magnificent seven of vampire-, haunted castle-, hellride-, dystopia-, greedy-capitalist-, blood-drippingly-, hack-and-slash-appropriate VGM arrangements! :-)
Rounding out our treasure trove of macabre offerings is rock GAWD Juan Medrano with a lil' John Carpenter/Halloween influence on a DASTARDLY NES game, Friday the 13th! We've got Juan, we've got John, and now [/shrieks] we've got JASON! :-O I HATED this game as a kid, not for being bad... for being SCARY and stressful as shit! I could NEVER keep the kiddos or the camp counselors alive, ugh. Well, at least Juan says he had fun:
"Just a remix of the Friday the 13th cabin theme I started several years ago. Wanted an atmospheric, spooky 80s horror film sound with modern, heavy guitars. Pretty simple. Spooky rock/metal/whatev. As always, had a blast playing around with those vintage synth sounds."
The fun Juan had taking on this dark, forboding, earworming theme was noticed by judge prophetik music:
"opens with bells and some distant strings. big prototypically evil bass synth comes in soon after as well as some limited kit with loads of verb on it. [...] guitar comes in at 1:25 and sounds great, as expected. 2:18 the drum rhythm changes a bit and is more intense which is nice [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jn5szaglfl73gxdp2tqxjrht/bafkreigafmlhs5t2okrhziri6qnzbgppssdklwk6q3t2pkbyms3te44bpy)
