The naturally faster tempo than "[[This is Halloween]]" immediately sets the difference in tone between field and battle themes. "Spooks of Halloween Town" has a relatively simple melody and harmonies that are continuously exchanged throughout the instrument families. Much like Halloween Town's field theme, although the tonality suggests an eerie environment, a sense of playful excitement can also be felt due to the lighter rhythmic passages exchanged throughout the piece. For harmony, part of the ensemble maintains the "twilight" environment by its longer note passages, while the other half- namely, low voices- add a sense of urgency and intensity by playing heavily on the downbeats.
