Can't Wait Until the Night (夜まで待てない Yoru Made Matenai?), also known as Don't Wait Until Night, is a music theme originally composed by the Konami Kukeiha Club for Haunted Castle.

It was later arranged by Michiru Yamane for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow alongside Heart of Fire, another classic song that is fused with the track. It is recognized as Julius Belmont's music theme in the game, as well as in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. The track was also used for Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls.

It also is part of the Castlevania soundtrack included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the only difference being the title's omission of "the".

Trivia[]

  • The beginning of the music is very similar to the level 4 of Journey to Silius, but on a faster rhythm. However, the latter having left two years after Haunted Castle, it is unknown whether it is a mere coincidence or if the composer of Journey to Silius was inspired by this passage to compose his own.
