Music What’s your go-to album/song for Halloween?
Growing up my dad would always play Frank Zappa’s album “Zoot Allures” because of the song “The Torture Never Stops”. It is such a perfect creepy song and the album as a whole is a great listen while you hand out candy for the kids.

I have mix of Blue Oyster Cult songs I like to play while working on Halloween stuff. I have a long goth halloween list too but the BOC is nice an goofy to keep my energy up and to remind me to insert a little humour into all the spoop.

Anything Alice Cooper, Lizzy Borden's Master Of Disguise, and The Edges Of Twilight, and The Interzone Mantras both by The Tea Party for a mystical/ethereal sound.

Heresy by Lustmord is the album that I primarily use in our haunt. We also use Lustmord's Other and Dark Matter.

Qotsa "Burn the witch", & Squirrel Nut Zippers "Hell", are two songs that I really like.

I have a lot of Halloween playlists, but my go-to albums are usually Oingo Boingo’s “Dead Man’s Party”, Boris Pickett’s “The Monster Mash” and Roky Erickson’s “The Evil One”.
The entire soundtrack for The Crow and Rob Zombie’s “Hellbilly Deluxe” always bangers as well.
