"Halloween Angst" from The Rules of Attraction (2002)

The scene originally was to use The Monster Mash, as was written in the book, but the usage rights were too expensive, so the film's composer, duo tomandandy, wrote this piece, titled "The Boogieman Boogie." I asked them to compose an alternate reality Monster Mash,? for the mirror Earth on the other side of the sun.

I am the director of this film and this video is fair use under U.S. copyright law because it is (1) non-commercial, (2) transformative in nature, (3) uses no more of the original work than necessary for the video's purpose, and (4) does not compete with the original work and could have no negative affect on it's market.
