43: Legend of the Haunted Arcade
Horror-themed games are relatively rare in the arcade, but this first October episode looks at a handful of ’80s titles that sound spooky in the good way. This Friday episode features tracks from Haunted Castle (the arcade version of Castlevania), Splatterhouse and Ghouls ’n Ghosts. What’s your favorite spooky-sounding work of VGM?
And if you’re an especially big Halloweener, you can listen to other Halloween episodes here.
