Halloween Playlist: Vampires
I’m posting selections from my personal Halloween playlist on BlueSky right now, with a new theme daily. I thought I’d share each themed post here this month. I feel like I’ve done this before, but I can’t find the post and it was so long ago.
These are far from comprehensive, and there are still albums, songs, and soundtracks that I would like to purchase eventually. I didn’t include some artists that I still play on my list but have engaged in heinous bullshittery. I also didn’t include the Cranberries’ “Zombie.” I’m firmly on the side of it being a horror song, but people feel very strongly about it being on Halloween music lists, because it definitely isn’t a party song (like Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is definitely not a Christmas song).
There are all kinds of music genres here, from musical theater to rap, because I’m more interested in content than genre.
Yesterday, I posted the Vampire list and today I posted the Devil/Demon list, so I’ll do both today here.
