"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] [4] and a nod to Corey Taylor's Slipknot mask, who was an influence on the new album.[5] [6] Band members Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard appear as framed paintings in the background.

Composition

The track has been described as electro-rock,[7] dance-rock,[8] alternative rock,[9] tech-rock,[10] space rock, and pop. The synthesizer work on the album has been described as "ominous" and John Carpenter-esque. The track also experiments with "frazzled, spooky distortion",[11] and features organs throughout.[10] Lyrically, the song is about "the claustrophobia of an abusive relationship".[12]
