hwæt! Halloween 2024 Mixes

Unexpectedly deciding to buy a house in August 2023 sure derailed this blog and my little hobby of making thematic musical mixes. But with this pair of Halloween Mixes, I'm hoping to get back on track.

You can find my previous Halloween Mixes here:

For those who don't want to use MixCloud, I also compiled two YouTube Music playlists combining these with earlier mixes of similar vibes... One for the probably kid-friendly Candy Bowl tracks and one for the more adult Creepy Crawly Dance Party adult costume vibe...

Of course, because YouTube doesn't have all of the tracks that I do, the MixCloud mixes have all of the tracks and the YouTube playlists have some gaps.

hwæt! Halloween 2021 Mixes

 

Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays, and while it’s not known for its seasonal music the way Xmas is, there are plenty of songs that fit the spooky season. To that end, I’ve compiled 117 songs, totaling 9 hours and 50 minutes of music into nine Halloween themed (or adjacent) mixes for the Spooky Season. Listed in order of intensity, from least intense to most intense.
