Well.....this year has been a real Nightmare....and it's still got three more months of terror to unleash. So to ease the pain of the Halloween parties and Samhain festivities lost to the Virus, I have once again compiled a collection of creepy, kooky, and little bit ooky tracks to turn the terror up to 11. In tradition of mixtapes past, I've got Mashups,Soundbites, and songs from all different genres. From candy coated creepers to Covid infected industrial , I touch on all types of terrors in tune form. Old favorites like Freddy and Elvira return to haunt the intros to new tunes.Trailers abound for recent and class-sicks from the past. So sit back, press play and let the spooky lift your spirits
