It’s time for this year’s single track Soundcloud Halloween! I’m leaning into the idea of a Halloween vibe, this season, rather than a dance mix, because, let’s be honest, most of us aren’t up for dancing in 2020 (you can still dance to most of this mix if you really want, though). So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and set adrift on a most spine-tingling breeze of spooky music and sound clips.
I'd recommend listening without knowing what's coming next in hopes of pleasant surprises, but here's a track list to read after you're done (or while listening, I won't judge!):
Sette Note In Nero by Still Sad (Lucio Fulci: A Symphony Of Fear; originally composed by Fabio Frizzi)
