146 - Spooky Edition 2024

Somehow it's been four years since Rhythm Encounter's last Halloween episode, back in 2020's episode 56. Well, it's time we rectified that. A sequel to that episode and a spiritual successor to our previous episode about the works of Michiru Yamane, our panel dug into our gaming experiences to find music for the most spooky time of year. You'll find one of Pokémon's most iconic themes, and everything from old PC adventures to SNES, PS4, and more. If you need some tunes while carving pumpkins, or you're baking some Halloween treats... well, first of all, send us some. But either way, join us for a spooky good time!Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Mario Garcia, Wes Iliff; Edited by Paul DennisTracklistWhat Lurks Beneath0:04:34 - Forest Temple (Koji Kondo) - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time0:08:14 - The Surface of the Water (Yoko Shimomura) - Parasite EveLet's Have Some Fun0:25:01 - Heart of the Idol (Robert Holmes arr.
