One of the enduring appeals of the Halloween franchise is the endurance of Michael Myers himself. No matter how many times he gets shot, blown up, electrocuted, beaten, or thrown out of windows, he always reappears in his next victim's house, car, or classroom, ready to slash.
Today, he's returned with an ax in tow—but fortunately, he's not here to slice you. He's only here to shred.
String makers Ernie Ball teamed up with guitarist Jason Richardson (formerly of All Shall Perish, Chelsea Grin, and Born Of Osiris) to perform John Carpenter's Halloween theme on guitar. (We came across the video on Consequence of Sound.)
