Another arcade piece, the Stage 1 theme "Cross Your Heart", was reused in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin under the title "Crucifix Held Close" and as an unlockable song in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. " Bloody Tears", first heard in the previously released Castlevania II, is used as the theme for Stage 3. There are several music tracks in Haunted Castle that have been reused in other Castlevania games. The soundtrack was composed in part by Kenichi Matsubara, who previously worked on the soundtrack of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
