Black Nuns – Halloween Songs Volume 3
The third instalment in Black Nuns’ series of original Halloween rock arrives just in time for the 2026 spooky season. Where Halloween music often settles for creaking doors and stock cackles, these 10 tracks push genre tropes to their outer limits, somewhere stranger and a good deal freakier. Volume 3 is a guitar-driven trip through the season’s less-documented horrors.
On this year’s bill:
- A disillusioned demon king who has conquered the underworld and found it surprisingly unfulfilling. Even eternal damnation, it turns out, has a midlife crisis.
- A ghoul with refined tastes who will only eat brains of the academic variety. Postgraduates are advised to travel in groups.
- A beverage best left on the shelf, whose side effects include body parts going pop. Please drink responsibly, or ideally not at all.
And if you’ve ever wondered where Elvis really got that look, ‘Rock n Roll Vamp’ has the answer.

Boo Dudes: Dumb Kind of Monster
The music is a lively blend of rockabilly, psychobilly, rock, surf and haunted country vibes, all played with deadly seriousness. The lyrics, however, are anything but serious. Or as the Dudes put it:
“Evoken from the paranormally enhanced mind of a werewolf and augmented by sinister contributions from draculas and mummies and stuff, “Dumb Kind of Monster” is our grimmest offering yet to the evil spirits of occult-oriented fright rock. Mystical tales of diarrhea, apocalyptic visions of hell, and a welcome sorely worn out (but NEVER extended to a vampyr)… all of these combine in a digital cauldron of horror to form this year’s most anticipated Boo Dudes record. Also, t-shirts are available for purchase!”

Halloween at High Noon: The Grim Dark
Halloween at High Noon annually releases a lo-fi compilation of spooky beats, and it’s something I look forward to every October. 2026’s entry is The Grim Dark, which I’ve been bobbing my head to while I work all afternoon today. An eclectic mix of chill rhythms, creepy samples, sinister sound effects and music that ranges from Phantom-of-the-Opera organs to Carpenter-esque melodies and all points in between, The Grim Dark is the perfect musical backdrop for whatever you’re doing during the Spooky Season! Get The Grim Dark and Halloween at High Noon’s back catalog at https://halloweenathighnoon.bandcamp.com/ and look for it soon on the streaming service of your choice!
