Back in the eighties in Highschool we were making masks ( a full size face mask) and I did one to wear with the Kings make up, and the art teacher was impressed with it and put it in the art show I was so happy .
Definitely a George Soros funded bot unfortunately King Diamond is very underated compared to bands like maiden, priest and motorhead. All amazing bands but King Diamond should be in that conversation and unfortunately He rarely is
when the King was asked if it becomes a big deal at his household when Halloween comes around, and his response was that everyday is Halloween to him and so when that day roles around it isn't anything special to him, just another day.
No, it isn’t. Rock is shitty cookie cutter bullshit like Poison, Warrant, and those other fuckin’ terrible hair shits. Blink 182, Greenday, and Papa Roach are all also rock. Nickleback = rock, King Diamond = metal
I to been a huge fan of the king I'm 49 now I just loved the story telling in the music and that opera voice. I'm a metal head but love classical music to so the two together so sweet.
I have been a King fan for over 30 years. I have seen KD and MF live over 50 times. I was a member of the now defunct fan club, pre internet days, with pen pals all over the world. Ole Bang and Ed Kolarich both considered me an expert. The King himself called me "The King Diamond Encyclopedia". I have tons of pictures, interviews on tape, etc, that are in my collection I most likely will never release. Therefore, when I state something on here, rest assured it is a fact.
I seen them over 60 times. Was also in the fan club twice as long as you. I have 2 tons of picture, interviews on tape, etc, I am way too cool to even think about releasing them. The King himself calls me the King Diamond of King Diamond. Therefore when I state my awesomeness, rest assured I am way more awesome than mentioned.
Like many others here I'm one of the original metal heads from the 80's. Life has a way of moving forward and my connection to metal (apart from some fond memories) is down to one simple event... On Oct 31st I listen to this song and honour THE King!
loved his music the first time I heard it. I love how his operatic training was cleverly placed into metal music. In parts of his songs he sounds like a crazed ghost or a banshee. I get such a rush of of King Diamond's style of singing. Ive been listening to his music for 25 years.
This song isn't actually about "halloween". It is about how he feels about perfoming. "Every night to me is halloween". "Halloween, you are my pride. Halloween, not just a dream". "I want, I command you to scream".
I had fun about 5 yesterday ago I dressed up like King Diamond won a costume contest and scared the shit out of people.I played this song on the jukebox and sang it .
The album this track is from is the "King Diamond" debut solo album, Fatal Portrait. King Diamond left previous band Mercyful Fate and took the guitarist and bassist with him. Hence the similarities sound.
I have to thank this kid in my writing class for mentioning King Diamond to me during class, well, yesterday. I had never heard of King Diamond. I have to say, I can't remember the last time I was this stoked on Halloween as I am right now, listening to King Diamond's Halloween for the first time...on Halloween. Happy Halloween to me.
@sha broussard his whole discography would fit on my Halloween playlist, but I'm with the King, everyday is Halloween for horror fans, so it is on my permanent playlist.

King Diamond not only is Awesome in one band but 2 that has toured together and I can't say enough good things about the dude. I first met him when I was 21 I'm 43 and been in 20 Functioning band's and Like him just as much as I did when I was 15... Him and his crew rule... Very nice people!!!

i have ticket for in london this year :) i just cant wait , my god is ozzy, dio, halford, i seen all of them also def leppard and whitesnake this year and can forget for wasp in bristol .... so perfect... king diamond will be next dream ...
Indeed. Top notch production, and King's unwavering ear for musical arrangements, along with his ungodly vocals, and the fact that he can sing about subjects such as "halloween" and sound genuine, it all makes for a great listen.
I would also like to add, that many bands of those times used standard D tuning or sometimes even E sharp and the vocals had to be in the similar pitch.
I was Listening to Mercyful Fate like 2 years already,... and now i just found out about king diamonds solo career and now im like holy hell !!! He's a Rock GOD!
Una musica tan Espectacular como Esta, no puede provenir de una persona mala o lugar Malo. Esto es una Obra Maestra como toda su Discografia e Imagen. para Mi Esposa y para Mi !!! King Diamond, de Todos Los Grupos De Metralla, es El Mejor !!!
