Life-Affirming Shit

I love Halloween music, but this year I was hankering for something a little off the beaten path - creepy, funky, listenable, atmospheric, maybe even a little bit danceable.

So I've put together a collection of some of my favorite not-so-popular Halloween beats. We've got haunting reggae beats, unsettling ambient interludes, and even some hand-picked older treats. All genuinely creepy, and yet listenable enough that you can play it to start a party, or just to get you in the mood while you're doing the dishes (that's how I roll). Happy Halloween!
