Halloween Madness 2024!

 

Is there a cooler holiday than Halloween?  Someone once said that the devil has the best tunes, and it is equally true that the best holiday songs belong to Halloween.  

Groovy Library started posting Halloween music last month, and it's Weird October at Nothin' Sez Somethin'.  

Stinky took a broad-minded approach to his Halloween themed mix this year.  It includes the musical saw (which can sound just as creepy as the theremin) as well as an accapella "Zombie Jamboree" by The Lords, and a lovely (but spooky) piano ballad by Anna Ternheim called "Keep Me In The Dark".

Stinky's Halloween Madness 2023 is still available for download, as well as his kid-tested and uncle approved Halloween mix and my own Halloween Creeps comp from last year. 

And it's never too late (or too early) to take heed of the deeply concerned celebrities at the North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative and their public service message "Do They Know It's Halloween?"

    What's your favorite scary movie? Mine is Phantasm (from 1979).

  2. Thanks for the heads-up jonder, but just the usual weirdness over at my place 'til later in the month. I do have a late October fall fantasy & a set of three Halloween inspired releases set for closer to the 'Een.

  3. That's a great one - love the orb "BOY!!" I'd have to narrow it down to three: "Psycho," "The Raven" (Karloff, Price, and Lorre go for laughs), and Tod Browning's "Freaks."

    1. The TV commercial for this one scared the bejesus out of me in 1978, and I didn't watch the movie until many years later: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077889/

  5. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness made quite an impression on me when I saw it on tv...
