A new Danse Macabre

Here is today's first (but maybe not last) countdown to Halloween post. I blogged about the Danse Macabre before, last time was last year. If you want Halloween themed music, you need to listen to this at least once this month. It has been turned into animated movies a few times. I found this one this morning on YouTube, called Midnight Dance, made by John McCloskey. It is beautiful and eerie, with nightmarish elements that have a psychedelic feel, a good bit of dark humour (that still remains Frightening), plenty of macabre and an autumnal feel. I had to upload it on the blog. Enjoy.

Danse Macabre is one of my favourite pieces of music, and this video is exquisite. Thanks for sharing:-)

Absolutely WONDERFUL video! I love that you've made the Danse Macabre an annual tradition here on your blog!

Pour ton décompte frèrot, un autre vidéo d'animation sur une musique classique (de l'époque romantique): The ErlKing, sur le lieder The Erlkönig de Schubert (poème de Goethe évidemment). Disponible sur le site de l'Office National du Film itou. C'est de l'animation avec du sable, réparti sur un écran lumineux.

@tao.owl-Thank you. It is a great vid.
@The Gill-Man-It is not yet a yearly tradition, I have been blogging for more than five years now and "only" uploaded it three times, but I am making it a tradition.
@PJ-Je vais le rajouter c'est certain. Mais tu devrais le faire sur ton blogue aussi.
