Not sure about the Hallowe'en connection, but regardless a great piece. I always remember there was a Media 100 demonstration video on MacFormat which used this piece together with (supposedly) virtually every effect Media 100 could do - looked and sounded impressive.

O Fortuna by Seiji Ozawa
Well, it's actually a movement that is part of a larger work called Carmina Burana. The "O Fortuna" movement is often used on it's own in advertising and movies. It's very dramatic. The interesting thing about this work is that it's based on the stories written by a sect of monks and is mostly about sex. Lots of it.

I recommend you get the ENTIRE work, not just this one movement, because it really is a spectacular piece of music if performed well (which it probably is by Ozawa). I've had the opportunity to hear it live several times, and it's always thrilling to hear!
