EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS: 
 
Having spent the bulk of 2020 locked in my crypt, hiding from the Red Death, I've set stockpiled a great deal of material for this year's Halloween episode -- a GREAT, great deal. So, buckle up, boils and ghouls. We may not be able to party like we want to, but in an attempt to make up for that, we're driving this hearse into FOUR blood-soaked hours of Halloween Hymns this year! That's right, it's (quite possibly) the biggest coffin ever to be crammed through the internet and into your ears: It's The 2020 "Out ov the Coffin" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!!!!

Featuring: NEW, current, classic, and obscure FULL-SIZE songs from the most morbid realms of goth, post-punk, deathrock, horror punk, darkwave, damnbient, metal, and MORE, riddled with hundreds of fun-sized bites of cvlt movie dialogue, sound effects, trailers, TV spots, novelties, and, of corpse, horror film and television soundtracks, all assembled in ritual formation, and (g)hosted by yours truly, DJ Ichabod.


Once again I have ungraved some delightfully fresh musical specimens for this year's special. As if to make up for such a shit year, we have debuts this month from three of the strongest deathrock/goth acts in the US:
Altar de Fey, The Wake, and Entertainment (who have also just released a fantastic new video), PLUS deeper cuts into the latest from Sonsombre, Vincas, Horror Vacui, The Kentucky Vampires, Naglfar, and Cultus Profano, fresh Halloween mood music from Slasher Dave, Images in Silence, MALCO, Cimitir, and John Carpenter, AND a closing premiere from Nashsylvania's own Halloween band, Boo Dudes.

I promised, in this episode, to share a link to
the A Southern Gothic Halloween special I mentioned (featuring Entertainment, Vincas, and many other great Georgia bands), so you can watch that here. And you should. Tis the season!
 
We'll also bite-mark the 50th anniversaries of three stone cold classic vampire films: Hammer's "Taste the Blood of Dracula" and "The Vampire Lovers," PLUS, the film that came out on this very day in 1970, Dan Curtis' big-screen adaptation of his cult hit TV series, "House of Dark Shadows"! Being a personal favorite of mine, I couldn't resist the coincidece of this episode launching on the very anniversary the film's release, so the artwork for this special reflects that celebration.
 
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This withered pumpkin of a year desrves an extra kick in the gourds, so you're getting a bonus HEAVY HALLOWEEN HORROR set! That's right, I've once again traveled to the intersection of Heavy Metal and Horror Movies, and returned with not only the certified '80s Metal-Horror classics that you Dream Warriors know and love, but some overlooked cult selections, and even a few rarities -- all mixed with vintage ad spots and samples from the age we'll never allow to be buried.
 
I hope this show will help restore some of your stolen Halloween season -- and if it does, please hand it out to your fiends by sharing it on your social media platform of choice.
