Here we go! The longest gap between creation and upload by far.
Back in December of 2015, I wanted to make Snake Eater mashups. To do this, I had to retime the shortened acapella version of Snake Eater (from the ladder section) to actually follow the timing of the original song (which it doesn’t for whatever reason). So I ended up with a corrected acapella and an instrumental. From these two tracks, Spook Eater was birthed in anguish.
I experimented with the vocals first, and ended up with the weird ghostly up-and-down pitching. Then I just went crazy with the instrumental, adding every spooky audio effect I could find. Once I knew what I was going for, I mixed in a couple Halloween sfx (linked below), and a hint of Resident Evil Basement Theme. Then I rendered it and let it sit in hiding on my desktop for 11 months.
The video was unexpected. Upon digging up the Spook Eater mp3 on 25 Oct 2016, to get it ready be posted on the 31st, I realized that I could do something akin to Son of Kong. It took some fudging, but I somehow managed to make the famous MGS3 Graveyard scene look like it had Snake Eater from the very beginning. It’s a masterpiece.
All the ghosts depicted at the end are from the Metal Gear Solid series of course. I have only Kojima to thank for making my job so easy.
