Halloween season goes by so fast that I sometimes neglect to post about some of the cool things I pick up on a whim. This past Halloween, I stumbled upon the Halloween House Party record on Bandcamp and was very happy to have gotten this cool gem of a release. I buy a lot of my music on Bandcamp because vinyl purchases also come with flac and mp3 versions and their streaming app is terrific. Anyway, I browse around the site frequently, and one of the best ways I find random goodness is by watching the flow of “selling right now” releases on the Bandcamp home page. That’s how I stumbled upon Haunted House Party.

While this isn’t the Sgt. Pepper of Halloween music, I think it’s something special. It’s basically a DJ spinning tracks with samples from Halloween vinyl fare from the last 50 years. This basically became the soundtrack of my 2021 Halloween season. It’s terrific background music for decorating, building Halloween props, and hosting your own haunted house parties.
