My Newest 8-Bit Horror-Adventure Album Is Out Now!

At last, it is here . . . behold!: Draakula: Moonlight Mischief!

9 all-new 8-bit spine-tingling tracks that are sure to chill and thrill! Check out this clip from the track “Nocturnal Nasties” below:

Spooky, eh?! If you like that, head on over to the album’s Bandcamp page!

Presented as a soundtrack to a non-existent game, Moonlight Mischief‘s tracks are arranged like so: a theme for the Start Screen, 7 Level/Stage tracks, and a final Boss Battle theme.

Here’s the tracklist. Imagine for yourself what each level would look like! Personally, I’ve always wondered what level design Sea Serpent Staircases would have. I must ask the question, how do you have staircases, but also sea serpents? Staircases that zig-zag in a maze of pools? Underwater stairs? Who can say?!

Here’s a sample from Track 5, “Amongst the Dusty Tomes”:

Again, all of these can be heard on the album’s Bandcamp page (where you can also buy the album. Only $4.00!)

The absolutely stellar and super-badass artwork was once again done by the marvelous Slynyrd. Check out his portfolio and insightful pixel art blog at his website. He can also be found on YouTube and Instagram, @rayslynyrd.

For music nerds only!: As with the original Draakula album, I composed every track with the NES hardware limitations in mind. 3 tracks only and a percussion track, only one note at a time per track. That’s it! Like many NES themes, the songs’ main sequences loop about every 25-35 seconds.

As a parting gift, here’s a rip-roaring section from the Boss Battle theme, “Villain Agrin”:

If you hate evil dragons and want to join the fight, check out the album’s Bandcamp page for all of the mischief! Also to be found there is the first Draakula album from October 2025, which is also worth checking out!

Best (and stay wary of ghouls!),
