Interesting facts:
• Night on Bald Mountain is a composition by Modest Mussorgsky that exists in at least two versions—a seldom performed 1867 version or a later (1886) and very popular "fantasy for orchestra" arranged by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, A Night on the Bare Mountain (Ночь на лысой горе, Noch' na lysoy gorye), based on the vocal score of the "Dream Vision of the Peasant Lad" (1880) from The Fair at Sorochyntsi with some revisions, most notably the omission of the choir.
• An a cappella version by Spiralmouth can be sometimes heard during the "Evilocity" racetrack in the video game Crash Tag Team Racing.
• There is a disco version performed by David Shire available on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack titled "Night on Disco Mountain". In 2007, this version was sampled by electro house duo Justice for their song "Stress".
• Parts of the opening segment can be heard in various parts of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
