The 13 Nights Of Halloween
Are you always disappointed when Halloween is over? Do you spend all October partying in your local graveyard only to feel like you have to pack up all the bones and spiderwebs by November 1st or else you’ll end up being a weirdo like me? NEVER FEAR, because I have news for you!

The Forest Witch Playlist
If you're anything like me, Halloween is less about parties and costumes and more about the feeling. I know that's vague, but hear me out. Every year, right around the middle of September the strange urge to move to a cottage in the middle of the woods starts to overpower me. Now you have to understand, I'm from a huge city, I absolutely detest insects, I have horrible allergies, and I also suffer the unfortunate genetic affliction of being ginger, so the sun and I are not the best of friends. If I'm being completely honest, I'm really not a huge fan of the outdoors. But despite all of this, every year, by the time October hits I want to put on a long flowing dress and run through the forest barefoot, collecting herbs and casting spells. At night, I want to drink tea and read from big old books surrounded by candlelight. I want the sky to be overcast every day and the moon to be full every night.

You Can Dance, Or...
Oh, Halloween. You never let me down. I have very fond memories of All Hallow’s Eve. We were always out and about with our costumes, pillow cases and garbage bags, with a spring in our step and dark thoughts in our hearts. Even as a child, I thought of Halloween as not a time for candy and costumes, but a time to reflect on the darkness out there and in us. I had begun watching horror films as a child and never stopped, not even when teachers and counselors warned us about the dangers of too much exposure to those fantasies on celluloid.

Starting to Feel Like Halloween Again
As the sunny summer days make way for cool fall nights, there's a special time approaching: Halloween night! Now, Halloween isn't what it used to be: these days there aren't as many little witches and warlocks saying "Trick or Treat."

13 Ghosts
Ghost 1: Well hello, all my dark fiends and foes! This gathering is of the upmost importance because the veil is thinning, and Halloween is almost upon us. Every year we join the shenanigans on the mortal plane, and every year we are ignored and overlooked. Anyone would think we were invisible! The fact we can't be seen by mortals is irrelevant, and not the point! This year we need a ghoulish playlist that is loud, bold and scarier than a black cat crossing your path!

Old Timey Halloween
You stand in the corner, red solo cup in hand. On one side of the crowded room is Chris in his typical, phoned-in costume: this year a phallic baseball cap and a name badge that reads “Dickhead.” On the other side of the room, Eddie stands awkwardly, having outdone himself with his Lorde of Darkness costume, a masterpiece of prosthetics and layered armor that seems to have rendered him incapable of moving. Perusing the females in attendance, you think you’ve seen every “sexy” costume there is until Debra walks in dressed as a cleavagy avocado.

Halloween is the most thrilling, and my personal favorite, holiday of the year. Tis’ the season to let your freak flag fly. A season, where it’s completely acceptable to enjoy spooky movies, laugh in the face of fear, embody a deadly creature, and snack on everything pumpkin.

Allow the Master to be your guide + grant you eight wishes of party music. Here are songs from my haunted Halloween favorites to help you make your monster mash smash.

Playlist for the spooker..,
Music has proven to soothe the soul in a time of needing comfort, provide ambience for a romantic setting, motivate when one needs to bring intensity, join lightheartedness with good spirited fun, or bring terror to the mind whether the tone or lyrics stimulate a fear we have.

Shake Your Bones With My Ultimate Spooky Playlist
So here in the UK, we kinda 'try' to Halloween, but it ends up a very lukewarm milky thing, hey, like our tea. Over in 'Murica you guys have it down pat - so much so that I kinda don't want to be there when it happens? Like y'all *get into it* into it, and I've never been good with gore. So when I saw this Challenge I honestly scrolled past, keen not even attempt to take the crown of our Amercian cousins.

Libra Truthseekers
If Childish Gambino, Halsey, Sting, Doja Cat, Ani Difranco, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, and Bruce Springsteen* were all at the same rock festival, it's hard to imagine a lot of overlap between their fans. They range from rockstars to rap gods to champions of the working class. Yet despite their differences there are a thread of similarities that are apparent in their personality and musical career.
