Halloween is upon us, and after a quick stroll through all things traditions and family policies, Dave and Caleb unpack what makes a song spooky? Is it the song itself, or are the images we associate with it doing half the work? Along the way, they give picks for music that is genuinely terrifying and music that hits the more playful side of the season.
Music discussed today:
John Carpenter's Halloween Soundtrack (1978)
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Nine Inch Nails
Fever Ray & The Knife (song featured from Fever Ray's self-titled)
The Misfits
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
The Caretaker - Everywhere at the End of Time
Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
L'Rain - I Killed Your Dog
And then a bunch of stuff that we don't necessarily recommend you listen to. Happy Halloween!
