Now Hear This - Halloween 2023 The Revenge

How about a few more tunes to get you in the holiday spirit while you carve up a pumpkin (or something else)? They're not all brand new releases but hopefully they'll be new to you. Clicking on the album cover will take you to Bandcamp where you can buy the music.

DJ Pumpkin, let's twist this!

 

What better way to kick it off than with some hard rockin, coffin knockin horrorpunk? With 50 tracks, there's sure to be something that will get the dead on their feet.

One of the stand out bands for me on the above compilation is Lesbian Bed Death. I'd put them a little more in the goth rock camp than punk but they're a lot of fun. I'm suggesting this album as it has covers of horror movie songs like Dream Warriors, He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask), Pet Sematary, Partytime, and more.

 

33 more covers on this pay what you want compilation. Includes seasonal staples like the themes from Halloween, Scooby-Doo, Casper, M*A*S*H* (?!) as well as Werewolves of London, Monster Mash, and Season of the Witch.

 

If there's two things I'm a musical sucker for, it's cover songs and remixes. This album has three Ghostbusters remixes, two of Thriller, Bobby Brown's On Our Own, Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me, and even Goo Goo Muck by The Cramps. 

 

 Made in Halloweenophonic stereo, Halloween Scene's debut album is the perfect thing to set a dreary mood for your crypt. If I still collected physical media, I would definitely get this just for the cover!

Monster Classics is not Pitch Black Manor's latest album but it's definitely one to get your own Monster Mash going. They've got that 80s new wave-weird band-you know it's them when you hear it sound.
