And what better way to celebrate such a holiday with no other than Castlevania.

Today's track is Simon Belmont's theme from Super Castlevania IV

I probably can't say more about Castlevania than you might already know about now, but I can say that it's probably one of the most acclaimed series in video game history.  There are lots of games that revolve around the Castlevania canon and many different game styles too, though something that has always been a staple in the series is the music.  Castlevania has many songs that are iconic to the series like Vampire Killer or Bloody Tears, but one of my favorites, if not the best, is Simon's theme.  It really captures the Castlevania atmosphere as a whole but also gives a pretty strong theme to the main character of the game, Simon Belmont.

Be also sure to check out the page this coming week for a new entry on Retro Rearview featuring Castlevania, it's going to be pretty good.
