Episode 238: 10/29/2023 - The 2023 Halloween Hellshow

on 

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#238’ on it.

This show was supposed to be both our Halloween show and our return to live radio. However, The Radio Gremlins ruined everything by sabotaging my car and I had to cancel the show. However, I threw together a pre-recorded show because I put too much work into making this playlist for it to go unused and dammit, we’re doing a Halloween show!

We started this show with a “mood setting” block. We followed that with a set of tracks and theme songs from horror movies. The third block was a set of metal tracks, recent and old, referring to or about Halloween. The fourth block was a set of songs about horror movies in general. The fifth block was a set of moody dark ambient and dungeon synth tracks, and we closed the show with a mix of industrial and goth tracks celebrating All Hallow’s Eve. We hope The Great Pumpkin blesses you and that you have a great Halloween—or a nice Tuesday, if you don’t do Halloween.
