Like a stolen corpse exacting its revenge, the Out ov the Coffin HALLOWEEN SPECIAL has trespassed the veils of night and death to haunt your speakers once again! Prepare your bodies for a ghoul-guided three-hour-tour through the crypts of Halloween-obsessed Goth, post-punk, death rock, darkwave, metal, and horror! Featuring: NEW, current, and classic FULL-SIZE songs, riddled with dozens of fun-sized bites of cvlt movie dialogue, sound effects, trailers, TV spots, novelty music, and horror movie soundtracks, all assembled in ritual formation, and (g)hosted by yours truly, DJ Ichabod.
Once again, in addition to a cryptful of clasSICK Halloween Hymns and SCAREities from the vault, I have ungraved some fresh musical specimens for you this year, including new tricks from The Waning Moon, Ashes Fallen, Vision Video, Aurelio Voltaire, Boo Dudes, Los Vampiros del Mar, Final Gasp, WitchHands, Tragic Black, Ritual Howls, and Crystal Coffin, alongside new seasonal instrumentals from Halloween Scene and John Carpenter.
This year's artwork was directly inspired by the 40th anniversary of the oft-overlooked 1983 horror classic, "Frightmare" (aka The Horror Star"), a film that just drips Halloween atmosFEAR, with its excessive use of fog-lit corridors, wonderfully overwhelming sound design, and (of corpse) an unhealthy amount of shots featuring outlandish mausoleums, expansive cemeteries, and exploding coffins! Needless to say, I recommend this one to set the right HOWLiday tone, which is why samples from the film are heavily featured in this episode.

With that, please turn off the lights and/or head to your local cemetery, turn up the volume, and make room for all the Halloween spirit I've packed into this show. If it pierces your veil in the right way, please hand it out to your FIENDS by sharing it on your social media platform of choice.
