This year's episode artwork SKELEbrates the 40th anniversary of the "Spookies," the cult 1986 movie that was Frankensteined together from two different films, to make one enduring mess of a classic seasonal watch -- and that's just one of a whole pillowcase full of films and albums gathered from the 1986 season that are celebrated in this episode, alongside essential entries from 1976, 1996, and even (gasp) 2001!
Never fear though! In addition to that cryptful of clasSICK Halloween Hymns and SCAREities from the vault, I have ungraved an army of fresh musical specimens for you this year, including new tricks from Mouth Ulcers, Past Self, Horror Vacui, Shadows Hold, The Spiritual Bat, Boo Dudes, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, Veil Witch, Escumergamënt, Devil Master, John Carpenter, Saidan, Chamber of Unlight, FRΛMWVRK, The Legendary Pink Dots, and more!
NOW, head to your local cemetery, kill the lights, turn up the volume, and soak in all the Halloween spirit I've packed into this episode. 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.
