OCR00824 - Friday the 13th 'Panic at Camp Crystal'

Friday the 13th 'Panic at Camp Crystal'

Creepy! Absolutely perfect for halloween. The use of orchestral string instruments in this song is amazing. I should have had this playing in a stereo sitting outside my front door just to freak out the kids. And then the whole song turns right around into this goofy electronic bit. Which is really amazingly well done, but what the hell?! I was really getting off on those orchestral strings. I think it would have been nicer as two differnet full length songs, but ah well. Excellent work Ghetto Lee Lewis.

[Jugulator]

Yeah, I also liked this one, perfect for Halloween! I like these dark, scary tunes so this is like candy for me :D

[Veovis]

The creepy tunes of the original are still here. I liked this one as well, but someone should do the remix of the inside of the cabins. That one is REALLY creepy. 8O

[djcubez]

this is a great song Ghetto. I like the first part cuz it makes the squeak in my chair sound like it's suppossed to squeak (did that make sense?) well i just like the song a lot. The sound clips were great.

[Ryan8bit]

This song is two songs, make no mistake.

The first song, the strings didn't sound so great at first, but once you get into it, it's all good. The piano was good. It was a good arrangement.

Then we get into the second song which was techno/dance kinda. The reason it's a second song is because it's totally different from the first part, and the segway was emptiness and some dialog. And that by itself was just sorta plain. And the ending just stopped abruptly, I felt. Maybe that's a good thing though?

[Ghetto Lee Lewis]

I was kind of getting the song to tell a story. The first part, you're kind of walking aimlessly around the forest all scared and stuff. The second part you run into Jason, and he's out for blood. The song ends abruptly cause it never took long to trip and fall and Jason would murdera ya. (if that helps at all; I really made this song like 6 months ago or something, I could of done better probably)

I must be honest. I hate this game. It is one of the worst NES games I have ever played... but this remix... I love it. Usually, I hate the music in the game, but this remix makes me like it a lot. It's very creppy, too. If I ever learn how to make remixes, I was going to make a Friday the 13th remix, acually. I still will... if I ever learn... Great remix, Ghetto.

good stuff.. brought back creepy memories of playin this game(as bad as it was) in the dark in the basement..I was half expecting a girly scream after the trailing silence :lol:

[Tranced]

At first, I wasn't into this mix much, but as I've listened to it more and more, It has grown on me quite a bit (something that happens a lot with me). I like how this changes from a more gothic, scary type of orchestral piece to a fast-paced techno rythm. It makes a good transition too...I had to listen a few times to even realize that was happening.

Great job on this mix!

[Keeshi]

out of the 56 hours of OCR's I have, THIS one, is the best :)

[OmegaSephiroth]

This remix...its just so great. I heard a lot of remixes here on Overclocked, but this one made me make an account just to post on it. Hats off to the creatour of this Mix.

[CatfishGuru1982]

It has its strong points, and I agree it's halloween appropriate fare, but on a whole, it failed to impress me.

[Kereokacola]

Ahh, NES memorabilia. For those of us who grew up with this game, will dance the night away to serious ear candy; superb.

[frashpikass]

Yesterday night I had a nightmare with this song as a soundtrack 8O ! MAybe my dinner have to be lighter... :oops:

[Red Light District]

Creepy- good word to describe it. I saw this remix a couple of times but didn't actually listen to it until like, 3 days before halloween...

[Lobo2me]

I love this song, I've been listening to it for 4 hours straight now ever since I discovered it :D

[OA]

This starts out dramatic (after the weak-ass movie sample that is), and though the violin is a bit shrill, it gets the mood across well. Then, uh, it's time to dance?

You kind of lost me in the 'transition'.

[Jedi QuestMaster]

I'm definitely not a fan of the second part - it just doesn't fit. But still good as a whole.

Snip, snip :p

[Marmiduke]

Those clips from the movie need to sealed in a barrel of acid and forgotten about. They sodomise this mix in a most unappealing way. Do not enjoy.
Besides the clips though, I actually don't mind the music. The samples are anything but inspiring, and the transitions between the two styles is like 10 seconds of awful, but it still gains points for what else it does.
I actually don't mind the second half as much as other people seem to. It doesn't seem that out of place to me, honestly. It certainly isn't a natural progression of the macabre string section thing going on, but I'm a fan of the retro sound with infused energy.
Of course, it's deeply flawed, or maybe mortally wounded would be a more fitting term. It's a shame this mix was shaped around something I personally detest a lot, but really, without the clips, it would still be just eh...
I'm just letting it be known I'm not completely down on this mix.
