Nice! Some little things I noticed:
-I believe the arpeggio chord in m. 16 is a Cm (g-c-e flat) instead of the Gm
  -And semi-likewise in m. 32, I actually hear Eb (g-b flat-e flat) instead of the Cm
-The guitar accompaniment jumps up an octave for a few notes in m. 20 and m. 24: was there a specific reason you kept it an octave lower? The notes won't clash with the melody and there is enough time for the L.H. to jump to the higher notes.
-I think I hear a c somewhere in the Edim chord in m. 38 (and 46 and 54 and 62), making it a C7 chord: maybe you could change the e-g-b flat to a c-e-b flat?
-The singer uses some grace notes in the second part (like in m. 39). Maybe it's worth considering adding those in?
-Also, maybe it's an idea to continue the pedal markings until the simile marking: now it kinda suggests that the player has to change the pedal every two bars, instead of every chord change.

Now that Maelstrom's ghost outfit for spooky month is complete, we have permission to edit his submissions for him if needed. I made the fixes I posted a few months earlier and will approve of this one!

This is great, just a few minor things:
- m. 4/8 LH beat 4 should be Eb instead of D
- m. 32 LH beat 3 should be C instead of Eb
- m. 37/45/53/61 LH beat 3 should be D instead of Eb
- m. 47 LH last note should be Eb instead of F
- m. 57 LH is missing the D bass (for the diminished sound), should be like 41
- Something funny happened to the slur in m. 55 RH

I've got these updated in new files and will accept!

(By the way, it was pretty handy to go through this sheet after watching this video)
