2019 #MakingCreepmas Image Challenge
Inspired by the Drawlloween & InkTober drawing challenges, the #MakingCreepmas image challenge invites anybody and everybody to make the holidays a little creepier by taking Christmas icons and putting a spooky spin on them.
Think back to what Jack & Co. did to Christmas in “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and, more recently, what Michael Dougherty’s “Krampus” did to Christmas toys – that’s the challenge, in a nutshell! We want to see evil elves, terrifying toys and spooky Santas!
Draw it, paint it, photograph it, sculpt it, photomanipulate it – however you want to do it, each day of the 13 Days of Creepmas (December 1-13) has a different theme. Post your images on your social media accounts with the hashtag #MakingCreepmas and spread the word using this page’s link and the image below – this year, Christmas will be ours!
Questions? Post them in the comments at https://www.creepmas.com/p/makingcreepmas-drawing-challenge.html.
Just in Time for Halloween – Overview of Spooky Indie Music Releases!
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/!
I Was A Teenage BoJo Spooky Mix Tape 2019
A 27 track macabre mix, FREE to download at https://bojospookymixtapes.bandcamp.com/album/i-was-a-teenage-bojo-spooky-mix-tape-2019, where you can also grab mixes from previous years, also FREE!
Slasher Dave: The Horrors of Hellhouse
Sinister synthwave at its finest! Also check out singles “A Pumpkin’s Tale” and “The Creaking Door” at https://slasherdaveofficial.bandcamp.com/!

The Marshmallow Ghost: The Old Witch’s Cavern
For the 11th annual Marshmallow Ghosts Halloween album, we have quite the treat for you! In addition to featuring collaborations from Casket Girls, Kid Dakota, Dreamend, Chris LaMartina and more, this year’s release comes with an incredibly bizarre backstory. Read all about it, listen and buy the album at https://graveface.bandcamp.com/album/the-old-witchs-cavern.
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.
