Just in time for Halloween, a set of recognizable theme songs from great Horror films. Many of these should be recognizable to even a casual horror fan. Others are a great deep dive into these composers vast catalogs. Great stuff, and you can be assured this and the previous mix I posted will be playing at our house this year.

Mooz, thanks so much for this mix. Made our Halloween evening just so much more. I live in a little podunk town in rural Pennsylvania. Halloween here is a big deal. The kids all get together & have a parade from 5:30 until 6:00 down Main Street then Trick or Treat from 6:00 until 8:00. I had your mix set up on the front porch & fired it up at 6:00. It played through then started up again before the festivities were over. It was the perfectly spooky background music. There were so many times when kids were coming up for Treats that the music exactly segued with their actions or costumes. When it restarted with the Halloween main theme, some of the kids got an eerie thrill with plenty of slightly frightened giggles. We had over 400 Trick or Treaters & the mix was the greatest music-score to the fun. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best compliment. Thank you NØ! You hit on my exact intention with this mix, a great soundtrack for handing out candy on Halloween night. It was my intention to do the same, but my day job pulled me back in for night work so I missed out on the fun this year.
