Rave In the Grave with Crypt (+ Chipped!) of the Necrodancer

A nightclub-tomb shudders to the beat in this Indie classic. Meanwhile beneath the cemetery, Chipzel soundtracks the best Chiptune Hallowe'en Party ever. Can you survive without losing the rhythm?

Everything You Can Think Of Is True: Tom Waits, Alice and ‘I Spy’

Tom Waits once said that he makes Adventure Songs and Hallowe'en Music. Today on the Long Hallowe'en we've got both, with some I Spy for good measure.

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 30: The Cutting Room Floor Pt. 2

Part 2 of the leftovers from the rest of this year's essays! Another 15 spooky, scary and spoopy albums to soundtrack your Hallowe'en night!

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 30: The Cutting Room Floor

We're almost there! This time: all the spooky Hallowe'en music that didn't make the cut! You might want to make a list - I definitely did.

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 28: The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 19: Black Sabbath

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 14: Little Nightmares

Everything is way too big and nothing makes sense: a return to a simpler, scarier form of terror in this adventurous gem.

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 9: There Existed An Addiction to Blood

Nothing is safe, and no one sounds like Clipping. The only rap group with a dedicated glass-crushing mic presents the perfect October Horrorcore record.

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 5: Blood Lust

Horror in Metal is nothing new, but there's nothing quite like Blood Lust. A closer look a classic, psychedelic Garage Doom record.

The Long(est) Hallowe’en 4: Satan Is Real

Satan is Real in 1959. Today's Long(est) Hallowe'en is the true horror of a 60-year-old Country Gospel album. Yes, really.

Space Queen

Vancouver stoner trio Space Queen deliver 17 exhilarating minutes of fuzzy desert rock, just in time for summer.
