One Step Too Far
Amie McGregor had been a pain in my ass for as long as I can remember. She lived to make my life a nightmare. I have always lived by the rule that you should treat others the way you want them to treat you. Which meant that I had to be the bigger person, a lot. In Amie’s case I was always the bigger person but this time she had gone too far.

I’ve seen a lot in my tenure as night porter at a grimy hotel with a reputation for paranormal activity. So when the new manager, an emaciated man with sallow skin and a timorous voice, starts making a fuss about Halloween falling on a full moon this year, I slide my headphones over my ears and pretend to pay attention while he goes on frightening the doe-eyed day shifters.

Halloween is one of my all-time favorite holidays and as we get closer to Halloween, I think to myself what the music is I want to hear it’s not just a music that will make it seem like Halloween but also put me in that mindset of spookiness. As I thought of this challenge it made me think of the classic Halloween music and then the newer versions of those classics. The first thing that popped into my head when thinking of Halloween music is planning a Halloween party. I don’t know about you but when it comes to Halloween, I have a specific playlist that I can dance with and enjoy at a Halloween party and outside of it. So shall we begin at any Halloween party I want you to begin entering the venue as if it was a haunted house of some sort.
The Graveyard Smash Challenge... My Way!
Halloween is one of many festivities in which we celebrate life, based on a certain tradition. We all know a party isn’t a party without great music that fits the occasion. In this case, we’re talking about Halloween. Scary energy, right? It invokes the supernatural, the spiritually unknown...the dark side, they call it. We celebrate ghosts, cemeteries, and spirits that live in carved pumpkins. Black cats are more ominous now than any other time of year, yet they still make a fine costume idea. Many people visit other aspects of themselves through costumes and costume parties, which brings me back to the subject at hand. Music that fits the occasion. The songs in my Graveyard Smash playlist address all kinds of scary, from paranormal fear factors to flat-out-scary people. It is also a collective of old skool, throwback spooky jams that stir the mystery within as you dance. Enjoy more about them below..

Best Halloween Party Music The important thing to remember when choosing music for a Halloween party is not to get to lost in your choices. One song can easily lead to another similar song, then another, and next thing you know, you have played nine movie/tv theme songs in a row. You want to vary it up. Appeal to different types of people, and there can be no doubt that each song belongs on a Halloween playlist. There are several songs that may have a creepy musical cord transition or haunting lyrics, but there are only a few songs that really connect with Halloween. Sting’s “Murder by Numbers” and “Every Breath You Take” have interesting lyrics, but I don’t really don’t associate them with Halloween. There are songs that mention Halloween Icons, but still don’t belong on a Halloween party list. I wouldn’t play “Voodoo Child” or “Witch Doctor” even though they are great songs, because they really don’t scream Halloween to me. I also associate several instrumental pieces of music that I do connect to Halloween, but i would not play at a party. I think of Hannibal Lecter, when I hear “Aria da Capo” but I wouldn’t be confident that others would make the same connection. When I hear the theme of Jaws, I think of Jaws and not Halloween. Neither of these songs belong at a dance party. For my Halloween Playlist, every song needs to be undeniably appropriate for the festivities.

This bath is long overdue. I deserve this. I have been waiting for this all week. My Friday night bath is a routine of mine that I hardly skip. I can’t say never because there are always exceptions to the rule. Like tonight. The bath is later than usual because I went out to an after work spot with some colleagues. The vibe was cool and the music was right, but I look forward to my self care Friday nights which means I try not to stay out past 10. The steam from the running water has turned the mirror foggy and the bathroom hot. I begin to undress and I think of the man with whom I exchanged numbers. He was a fine brother who smelled so good. He wore Prada Black and I think it’s lingering on my clothes. He was successful too and we worked in the same neighborhood, I wouldn’t mind going for lunch.

To be honest... When first reading this competition,, my immediate impulse was to make it creepy. Like, really, really creepy. That’s what Halloween means to me. Watching my favorite horror movies and feeling the tingles run down my spine. Most likely suited for those who want to host a haunted house more so than a party. Regardless, these are the songs that just may keep you up at night.

As the nights draw in, and an eerie orange glow from the streetlight illuminates the blanket of fog creeping up my driveway, I sit in the sanctuary of my bedroom listening to the claps of thunder which are fast approaching, and the rain as it taps on my window. Every few minutes my room is suddenly filled with white light, as lightning strikes the corpse of the oak tree stood skeletal at the edge of my property before I am again relying on the fairy lights that hang on my ceiling.
It was always about the Magic
Bags of flesh and bones moving to the sound of music that makes them feel, that makes them yearn, that takes them home. Music is a universal language that is able to communicate and translate feeling through sound and by doing so, allows people to connect those sounds with certain occasions.
Aliyah KazmiPublished 3 years ago in Horror11 Fearsome Fright-Night Facts For Super-Fans!
Fans of 80's horror will no doubt have fond memories of picking up this horror vampire-gorefest at their local video store. Fright Night was a smash-hit blockbuster when it was released in 1985, earning a direct sequel and a couple of remakes along the way. It perfectly combines classic Bram Stoker vampire lore whilst adding in a fun 80's snapshot of teenage life. I mean, what's not to love about a boy next door finding out his neighbour is a blood-sucking vampire and having to fight back? Nothing that's what!

https://pandora.app.link/aIVmtCp46jb Do you believe in ghosts? How about spirits? Experienced them yourself? Well let me tell you why I became a believer. One night back in high school I was just sixteen years old and a new driver; my best friend and I were running late for curfew. My mother was extremely strict and I was afraid to face her wrath of being late. We had seen a movie and didn’t realize it had been 3 hours long and we had twenty minutes to make an almost hour drive home. So of course being late at night on a lonely highway, I figured it’s best to go 75-80 mph so we weren’t too late.

Halloween night is here. My favorite time of the year for I can unmask and not have to hide behind my human costume. Celebrations will begin at sunset, and my spooky side is ready to be unleashed. This year I’m luring my victims in with a Halloween party. The plan is to distract them with chocolate bars and a spooktacular playlist. The striking clock reminds me that my guests will arrive at any moment. Guests or gullible victims?
