Music of the Month — What are you listening to? (Halloween Edition 🎃)

Hey y'all! I made it just in time for the tail-end of October to spin up another Music of the Month. This time around, I wanna hear y'all's favorite Halloween tunes. I'm looking for stuff that is dark, scary, creepy, or for any other reason makes ya think of Halloween. If you drop anything that is NSFW, please give a heads up... I realize horror-related music videos and tunes can get a bit brutal, so please let us know if you share anything edgy. 🎃

    Hey, Michael! It's a pleasure see you around here! Also I'm missing this serie too much. As a Type O Negative fan I'm listening Black Nº 1 a lot this month

      Great to hear from you, Thaísa! These guys are awesome... pretty sure someone called them out to me them last year. What an incredible voice and I love seeing him hold the big upright bass like that, haha!

    Tyler, the Creator just dopped a new album and while it might be a push to call it Halloween music, it's definitely got a dark and creepy vibe to it.

    Check out the tune "NOID" to get a taste of the vibe.

      The video can definitely be unpleasant for folks - sharing just since not everyone has spotify..

        Oooo this song + music video is dark and interesting! Great Halloween pick!

      Maybe just the industrial vibe of it and trancey keys, but I'm getting some "Blue Monday" vibes from it and that's a good thing. Cool tune!

    I haven't listened to any halloween themed music, but I did find another Lauren Daigle song that I like!

    I've always really loved the song "Season of the Witch" by Donavon.

    Here's a fan-made music video for it using bits of the movie Dark Shadows... never seen the movie (heard it was dreadful, haha) but the visuals here are pretty darn cool.
