In this spooky edition, Steve and Keith dive deep into the art of creating the perfect Halloween playlist. From eerie classics like "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus (or is that Boo-haus?) to the quirky charm of "Monster Mash," they explore the songs that set the mood for your haunted night.

Special Halloween topics include:

  • Jimi Hendrix's "If Six Was Nine" and why six was afraid of seven.
  • Bauhaus or Boo-Haus? The ultimate goth playlist debate.
  • Tom Waits, William Burroughs, and their creepy collab.
  • The spooky vibes of The Doors' "People Are Strange" and Donnie Darko’s unforgettable soundtrack.
  • Day of the Dead reflections and a look back at 1990’s most supernatural hit movie: Ghost.

Whether you're crafting the ultimate Halloween party playlist or just getting into the seasonal spirit, join Steve and Keith as they discuss eerie tunes from the past, from Tom Waits to The Cure and even some spooky metal picks. Plus, they'll touch on classic horror movie soundtracks and Halloween novelty songs, ensuring your playlist has everything you need for a hauntingly good time.
