"Halloween" is a single released by The Misfits . 5000 copies were pressed (10 with black and white sleeve). Celebrating the Pagan tradition of Halloween, this song has nothing to do with the 1978 '' Halloween '' or the 1981 horror movie '' Halloween II ''.

Halloween was later released on both Legacy Of Brutality and Collection II , Halloween II was only released on Collection II. Both were re-recorded for 12 Hits From Hell , which Halloween would have been the first song on before cancellation. Neither was added to 3 Hits From Hell .

Although Doyle was credited as guitarist on this single, Bobby Steele's guitar was used on Halloween II.

The song has been covered by the bands AFI (on All Hallow's EP ), Alkaline Trio , Dropkick Murphys , Cradle Of Filth , The Unseen , and The Texas Chainsaw Mascara .

Samhain later re-recorded Halloween II for November-Coming-Fire .

Halloween II is to be on the sountrack for The 2007 Re-make Of The Horror Movie Classic Halloween

HALLOWEEN II LYRICS

The lyrics to Halloween II are in nonstandard Latin, and translate to:


"Ancient formulas of exorcisms and excommunications

that witches and those made wolves believe

I maim now the demon clothed in wolfskin

Having to hide in the hollow of a tree

I believe werewolves can change shapes."
