Spooky Season is a 44 track Halloween score for games: the trick-or-treat lane and the pumpkin patch, a haunted manor room by room, the churchyard and the crypt, a battle set, the headless horseman and the witching hour. It is written playful rather than gory, and every track has a bass that tiptoes, the creeping detached bass of "In the Hall of the Mountain King".

The tiptoe, checked on the shipped MIDI. In every one of the 44 tracks, every bass note except the last is let go before the next one begins: it sounds for at most half the time until the next bass note. The bass is its own track in every .mid, named bass, played by tuba, acoustic bass, double bass, bassoon, cello or fretless bass depending on the track, so you can see it in any MIDI editor. We checked the 773 tracks of our earlier albums with the same test and none of them has a detached bass.

What is in it. 35 full pieces and 9 short cues, 50:01 of music. The title theme: Spooky Season. Out and about: Trick-or-Treat Lane, Pumpkin Hollow, Pumpkin Hollow After Dark, The Harvest Fair, The Pumpkin Patch, The Scarecrow's Garden, The Crooked Wood, The Crooked Wood at Midnight, Fog on the Hollow, Will o' the Wisps and The Crossroads at Midnight. Somewhere warm: The Cider House and The Costume Shop. The manor and its grounds: The Haunted Foyer, Portraits That Watch, The Spellbook Library, The Toy Nursery, The Attic Trunk, The Cellar Stairs, The Family Crypt, The Monster Ball, The Count's Court, The Old Churchyard, Under the Manor and The Bat Grotto. The fight: Things That Go Bump, The Skeleton Brigade, The Last Lantern, The Werewolf of the Moor, The Headless Horseman and The Witching Hour. The way home: The Midnight Ride, Home Before Midnight and All Hallows' Morning. Cues: Treat!, Trick!, A Better Costume, A Full Candy Bag, The Door Creaks, A New Street, Warm Cider, The Bell Tolls Twelve, Something Behind You.

What you get. 44 OGG files, 35 of them with sample accurate LOOPSTART and LOOPLENGTH tags, which is what RPG Maker MV and MZ read. 44 editable .mid sources. A Readme with per engine import notes, both proof reports, and a royalty free commercial licence.

One family of 5 cells. Creep, Sneak, Boo, Cackle, Toll. Creep is two steps forward, a flinch back and one more step; Sneak is Creep upside down, for everything indoors and underneath; Boo opens Creep out with a leap of a fifth; Cackle steps up and straight back before it climbs; Toll falls a third and a third again, for the bell at midnight. 1257 statements and fragments of those cells across the album, counted by the harness in the finished MIDI.

Gate results. 782 theory checks and 501 audio checks, 0 failed, and both reports ship inside the download. They say the music is correctly written, rendered and tagged. They are not a claim about taste, which is what the two free tracks are for.

Two full tracks are free on this page, with their MIDI: Spooky Season, the title theme, and The Headless Horseman, the boss. The tiptoe at a walk and at a gallop.

The renders are a General MIDI reference render through a conventional soundfont. The composition system is AI written code and no generative audio model is used anywhere.
