Everyone loves special music for the season, but Halloween/October tends to lack many of the songs that other Holiday seasons possess. The pumpkins turn to Jack O’Lanterns like the all of the other things of Earth transition. Summer transitions to Winter, Men to Wolves, the Dead to the Living, etc. So here are some different music types to help put you in the mood for a scary and haunting All Hallows’ Eve-
