Episode 266: 10/27/2024 - The 2024 Halloween HellShow

This week’s show is our Halloween Hellshow! The first set was a mix of goth and post-punk tracks to get the spooky spirit going. The second block was a mix of goth and post-punk tracks about graveyards and cemeteries. Because what’s a more goth place than a graveyard? The third block was a set of songs from ’80s horror movies. The fourth block was a set of songs about famous monsters—Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, etc.. The fifth block was a set of moody instrumental tracks, mostly from horror movies. The final block was a set of Halloween anthems.

We hope your Halloween season has been a good one, and that The Great Pumpkin blesses you!
