"Halloween II" has also been covered by Tenebre on the tribute album Hell on Earth: A Tribute to the Misfits (2000) and by Cradle of Filth on the Underworld: Evolution soundtrack and Thornography (2006), though Cradle of Filth's cover is based on the Samhain version. Alkaline Trio version The punk rock band Alkaline Trio recorded a cover version of "Halloween" in August 2002 while on tour. Their version was released as a single through Asian Man Records, with a cover of "Children in Heat" (from "Horror Business") as the B-side, and given away exclusively to attendees at their performance on October 31, 2002 at the Metro Chicago. This performance was filmed and released on DVD in 2003 as Halloween at the Metro, the fourth installment in Kung Fu Films' The Show Must Go Off! series. In 2004 the band re-released the single as a download exclusively to members of their fan club the Blood Pact, adding a cover of The Damned's "Wait for the Blackout" recorded in 2003 at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.
