"You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" is a song by English rock band Muse, released as the fifth track from the band's ninth studio album Will of the People. It was also released as a standalone single alongside a music video. The song has a horror theme, with a music video referencing popular horror media such as IT and The Shining.
The track has been described as electronic rock, dance-rock, alternative rock and pop. The synthesizer work on the album has been described as "ominous" and John Carpenter-esque. The track also experiments with "frazzled, spooky distortion", and features organs throughout. Lyrically, the song is about "the claustrophobia of an abusive relationship".
The music video, directed by Tom Teller, features a group of masked figures sneaking into a house only to discover that it is haunted. The video features many references to horror media such as IT, Friday the 13th, Poltergeist, The Shining, and a nod to Corey Taylor's Slipknot mask, who was an influence on the new album. Band members Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard appear as framed paintings in the background.
