HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!!

As a music lover, this time of year fills me with all kind of excitement. People are moved by music. Take your favorite Horror movie remove the music and it’s not quite as scary as it once was. If you don’t hear the piano music in Halloween you don’t quite fear Michael Myers as you do when you hear it. Freddy isn’t quite as scary without that haunting 1…2…Freddy’s Coming for you …. Song. Haunted houses make the best use of this by using some of the scariest sounds out there to enhance the experience. No Halloween party is respectable without a great playlist behind it.

So I thought I’d share my Halloween playlist and who knows maybe you guys will comment and I’ll have more to listen to next year. I so love good scary music. I’m a kid at heart so below is a mixture of adultish songs and childhood favorites.

so I’m kind of insane. No really either that or I have too much money. I do this thing every October where I wear a different pair of Halloween socks every day…LITERALLY. Sadly several pairs don’t get worn in a given year, aka I have way more than 31 Halloween socks, hence the apparent amount of disposable income. In my defense people sometimes give me socks and a lot of them are purchased at the dollar store or right after the holiday when everything is on sale.
 
 
That being said when I post them on twitter (yes I post them on twitter every morning) I usually put a description of the socks. Sometimes it is about why I picked them, sometimes to remind people that the Great Pumpkin is coming on that evening other times I just say look at these cute Hello Kitty socks! HEY….not every morning is a creative morning.
 
The socks that sadly didn't make the cut this year.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening! We've been slightly neglectful of this blog this month, let’s face it Golden and I have spent every waking second watching some of the best horror movies ever made and some that are just classics that you have to watch no matter the quality.
 
We plan to get back into the swing of the blog first thing tomorrow by posting 27 days of Thankfulness leading up to Thanksgiving. Join us by sharing what you are thankful for.
 
PLUS the best reason to stick around ... I'll start working on the Christmas TV Specials Calendar soon and will post it here...well not here but on this blog and you will want that ... trust me! :D
