Just in Time for Halloween – Overview of Spooky Indie Music Releases!

Posted : October 30th, 2019

2019 has seen a number of great spooky seasonal releases from a wide variety of artists – here are just a few for your ghoulish listening pleasure, just in time for the High Holiday:

Halloween Booootie 6
Not only is Halloween our favorite holiday, it’s also our biggest party of the year. (Yes, even bigger than New Year’s Eve!) So to celebrate the spooky season, here’s the sixth installment of our “Halloween Booootie” mixtape series, featuring another 13 spooktacular mashups. Some are brand-new, while others have been exhumed from the mashup crypt (such as that Kleptones track from 2007). We went a little creepy synthwave towards the end, since that’s pretty much the soundtrack of so many classic horror films from the ’80s. And of course, we’ve also got your obligatory mashups of “Thriller” and “Ghostbusters.” Download this merry mashup mayhem FOR FREE at https://bootiemashup.com/mix-tapes/halloween-booootie-6/!

Soundtracks to Tales of Halloween & Candy Corn
You can get the soundtracks for these two fantastic Halloween films (not to mention a plethora of other amazing creepy music offerings) from Burning Witch Records at https://burningwitchesrecords.bandcamp.com/music.

Boo Dude: Candy Corn Sells… But Who’s Buying?
“Mr. Boo’s new record may be absolutely terrible, but it’s full to the brimstone with valuable veiled messages and wikileaks put in place to expose the globalist agenda. Notice the “G#” position on his bass. The G represents the shape of our spiral galaxy 🌀 and the sharp symbol is commonly called a HASH tag. Universal Hash conspiracy? Did you know Haint Anger was the original soundtrack to Madea’s “Boo!”? Notice her hypnotized gaze locked on to the Amulet of Financial Feardom and turned away from the equilateral triangle with a pumpkin and skull representing the essence of Halloween and the Masonic square and or compass. Did you know Dave Ramses crafted the Amulet of Financial Feardom to protect it’s wearer from unwise financial decisions? What are you trying to tell us, Jesse Boo. The world is listening!” -G.M. Hackenslash, who does not appear on this record. Name your price and get the album at https://boodudes.bandcamp.com/album/candy-corn-sells-but-whos-buying!

Songs of the Pumpkin Boy Vol. IV
At last, the season of the witch has come
so grab your rubber mask and scare up some fun
for these songs are a toast to the goblins and the ghosts
gaily haunting autumn through October 31.
For our 4th annual Songs of the Pumpkin Boy, we’ve summoned 13 macabre minstrels to celebrate all things mysterious, spooky, and all-together ooky. We hope this serves as a groovy and ghastly soundtrack to your favorite Halloween frights and festivities. Available at https://pumpkinboy.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-the-pumpkin-boy-vol-iv.

Vince Romano: Zombie Walk
While not a new release, it’s a really fun track – grab it at https://vinceromano.bandcamp.com/album/last-year!
