"You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" is a song by English rock band Muse, released as the fifth track from the band's ninth studio album Will of the People. It was also released as a standalone single alongside a music video. The song has a horror theme, with a music video referencing popular horror media such as IT and The Shining . [1] [2]
The track has been described as electronic rock, [3] dance-rock, [4] alternative rock [5] and pop. [5] The synthesizer work on the album has been described as "ominous" and John Carpenter-esque. [3] The track also experiments with "frazzled, spooky distortion", [6] and features organs throughout. [7] [4] Lyrically, the song is about "the claustrophobia of an abusive relationship". [8]
The music video, directed by Tom Teller, features a group of masked figures sneaking into a house only to discover that it is haunted. The video features many references to horror media such as IT , Friday the 13th , Poltergeist , The Shining , [9] [1] [10] and a nod to Corey Taylor's Slipknot mask, who was an influence on the new album. [2] [11] [12] Band members Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard appear as framed paintings in the background. [9]
