The Haunting Season
Wow…Shit’s been crazy. My baby girl is over a year old, and Levi just turned 5. Been crazy busy with a whole lot of gigs. Also working on building a new bedroom for my baby girl. Anyways, I been delayed in putting up some promised Halloween tunes (sorry!), so that being said, here we go.
Start old. Back in the day, I remember my good friend Nick gave me an aptly titles “80s Synth Cheese” mixtape. Had tons of great tunes on it. One of which was “Everyday is Halloween”. I actually have/had the CD single of this tune (gotta find it to rip something better than 128). Kinda comical for all those Ministry fans who only know them for their hard stuff. Back in the 80s, they were very pop in the day.
Ministry – Everyday Is Halloween
Another classic for the day in certain circles would have to be Halloween by The Misfits. A few years back I copped a dope remix via the Hollertronix board (I think) done by Cousin Cole and Flufftronix. If memory serves, one did it first, then other came in and reworked it after that. Not for everyone, but dope for some.

I still remember clips from this video being on the opening for 120 Minutes, the old rock/metal show on MTV and that cracked me, as it was not something they would ever play, but the video had great visuals. Then again, so do most Aphex Twin videos.
On the hip hop tip, this one works. Mistah fab laces some good tunes. Also, his “Hit Me On Twitter” video is damn comical.
I think you have to play Michael Jackson – Thriller. It’s pretty much an obligation. There are a number of dope remixes, edits and otherwise. One that I really enjoy that Paturn threw on a mix a while back was Woodhead’s edit. Minimal, super dope usage of the track. A phenomenal touch up.

Also, on the club tip, we got a Psycho remix (I think I copped this off the Hollerboard also).
Crooks & Gunn – Psych!
Lastly, as a True Blood fanatic, this remix had me going off. Even though the season finale was kind of a let down. Depeche Mode – Corrupt would prolly go over with the right crowd
But the main reason is this stoopid fresh remix of the main theme song, copped from the good folks at Mad Decent.
