It’s October, which means that spooky season has officially begun in our household, and no celebration is complete without music to set the mood. Halloween music can be a tricky affair that requires some digging, but all the more satisfying once you find the right gems.
In an effort to spread the Halloween spirit (and to take my mind off the oral surgery I underwent yesterday), I will share with you my carefully curated and, in my opinion, very enjoyable Halloween playlist. I find it to be just the right combination of well-known classics and deep cuts.
