"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 1979 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, and The Unseen.
Samhain later re-recorded Halloween II for November-Coming-Fire.
