Check your candy bars for razor blades, kids, it’s once again time for All Hallows’ Aquarium Drunkard. The damned souls around here are coming to take possession of your sound system and there aren’t enough exorcisms in the world to get them out of your house. Might as well enjoy the monster mash dub, spectral free jazz, pagan folk, creature-feature punk, and cult TV soundtrack grooves they are spewing up for the spooky season. It’s like Shakespeare said, Hell is empty and all the devils are here . . .

What does an American Halloween in the year of our lord 2024 sound like? Everyone rings in the spooky season differently. Some people want some melancholy goth rock, others need novelty record exploitation trash. Some people want to draw the shades and build Berlin school synthesizer cathedrals in the air. And some just need to howl ‘Werewolves of London’ at the top of their lungs. It’s all good. We asked some of the contributors to tell us how they’re soundtracking All Hallows. What we got back comprises a monster playlist suitable for apple-bobbing, axe-sharpening and keeping the dark spirits happy.

Spooky season is officially here. As such, we are uploading each volume of the Grey Haas compiled Trick Or Treat mixtape series for AD patrons. Choice vintage Halloween spookers…

As All Hallows’ Eve draws nigh, it’s time to check in with rock ‘n roll boogieman, Jed Maheu of Zig Zags.

The only thing that sucks about Halloween is trying to figure out what to be. So, Jed figured it out for you with a list of musician themed costumes for Halloween 2019! Heads up these will not work in 2020 as it will be too close to the election and no one will be in the mood for fun.
