Music of the Month β€” What are you listening to? (Halloween Edition πŸŽƒ)

cover image source: Entertainment Today

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. πŸŽƒ

How we do

In this weekly series, folks can chime in and drop links to whatever it is they've been listening to recently + browse others' suggestions. You can follow the suggested genre if you'd like, but don't feel confined to it; you're free to suggest whatever you wanna. πŸ™Œ

If you're interested in having other discussions about music, consider following the aptly named #music discussions organization. If you wanna join the org, just hit me up and lemme know!


Alrighty, let's hear some Halloween tunes! 😱

Note: you can embed a link to your song using the following syntax {% embed https://... %}. This should work for most common platforms!

Looking forward to listening to y'all's suggestions! 🎢

I always end up listening to boy harsher around this time of year. Not really sure why!

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!

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

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.

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.
