A wave of nostalgia washes over us when we hear music from our favorite classic franchises. One of those iconic pieces is
Castlevania's "Vampire Killer" series theme. The folks at
Tiny Cartridge (specifically, Joystiq's own
JC Fletcher) stumbled upon a
YouTube clip featuring every version the classic track has spawned since the origin of the
Castlevania franchise.
While musical style and technology has evolved, this video showcases how
Kinuyo Yamashita's original piece has lived on throughout nearly
two dozen Castlevania games (as well as some non-
Castlevania titles). Feel like taking a stroll down memory lane with us? Check out the comparison videos after the break ... but stop holding our hand. It's kind of weird.
