Halloween KillsRings in the Scary Holiday With a Music Video

The recent string of Halloween movies have been jolly serious affairs about generationaltraumaand an unkillable brute cut down his way through a undivided town . You would n’t thing a rock song would go well with the franchise , even with Rob Zombie having once a duo of reboot films , butHalloween Killsbegs to differ .

Before the weekend started , Universal put out a music video for “ Hunter ’s Moon , ” the song from Swedish rock band Ghost that play during the conclusion citation of Kills . The banding ’s frontman Tobias Forgeexplainedearlier in the month that the song come about when the film ’s manufacturer Ryan Turek dispatch the band up about make a song for Kills . He ’d already had some songs that fit the bill , and “ Hunter ’s Moon ” was one he thought specifically that would figure out with what the flick was decease for .

“ When I knew that there was gon na be a song call ‘ Hunter ’s Moon ’ in a Halloween pic , it was passably easy to amount up with a theme that would simplify the lyrical content , ” Forge explained . “ I wanted the lyrics to be sort of nostalgic , longing back but also semi - amorous and also have a little sort of ‘ siblings love ’ , ‘ friendship love life ’ motion mark . So that is what I write . ”

If the young male child wearing a mask in the video is mean to be Michael Myers , as we ’re led to conceive , then there ’s decidedly some yearning for home as seen in the film , even if it ’s a little muddy . But since these movies have walked back him and Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) being siblings , and have n’t provide any real insight into who he is beyond being freakishly durable , the song may not entirely match up with how the plastic film presents its masked orca .

Still , it ’s a pretty good song on its own and has some nice old - school day vibration , and the music video itself is pretty dang creepy on its own . You ’ll be able to catch “ Hunter ’s Moon ” as a vinyl radical on January 21 .

Halloween Kills is currently in theaters and on Peacock .
