"You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" is a song by English rock band Muse, released as the sixth 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]
Music video
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,[3][1][4] and a nod to Corey Taylor's Slipknot mask, who was an influence on the new album.[2][5][6] Band members Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard appear as framed paintings in the background.[3]
Composition
The track has been described as electro-rock,[7] dance-rock,[8] alternative rock,[9] tech-rock,[10] space rock,[9] and pop.[9] The synthesizer work on the album has been described as "ominous" and John Carpenter-esque.[7] The track also experiments with "frazzled, spooky distortion",[11] and features organs throughout.[10][8] Lyrically, the song is about "the claustrophobia of an abusive relationship".[12]
