Recently, we brought to your attention Vampire Variations, a fan-made album celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Castlevania series. The album was released this Halloween, and I advise any and all vampire killers out there to go to the project's homepage and download it as soon as possible.
One of the tracks is "Of Whips and Strings," a chill acoustic medley by the Super Guitar Bros. To accompany the song, the duo made the above music video that features Death and an assortment of candles, the beloved Castlevania staple. You also ought to check the other videos on their YouTube channel, which includes a Ninja Gaiden medley and an appropriately haunting cover of the Super Mario World castle theme.
