Whether you’re doing the time warp, setting your girlfriend’s house on fire, or just dancing with some scary monsters and super creeps, just remember: someone (a ghost!) is probably watching you.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
The exact day when I thought to myself, ‘I should listen to some Halloween music.’
Log in to replyThank you Hazel.
This is a great selection, I’m looking forward to listening to it, but when it comes to Halloween it always seems a little remiss to forget about Alice Cooper. Feed my Frankenstein, Keepin’ Halloween Alive, Black Juju, Caught in a Dream, Billion Dollar Babies, Department of Youth, Welcome to my Nightmare, it’s a long list…
Log in to replygreat playlist, although it’s title suggests the inclusion of “werewolf bar mitzvah,” which it seems to be sorely lacking ;)
Log in to replyBOYS BECOMING MEN, MEN BECOMING WOLVES!

Log in to replywhen i saw this playlist werewolf bar mitzvah was literally the first song that popped into my head
Log in to replyslightly off the point but I seriously can’t get enough Dead Man’s Bones at the moment ^_^ Ryan Gosling<3<3
Log in to replyMetric! Yes!
Log in to replyWONDERFUL! But no Dead Man’s Bones? They are my Halloween go-to!
I squealed when I saw Lullaby, a song that has recently reached the top of my Most Played list.
Log in to replyThis is brilliant! Although sadly lacking my all-time favourite Halloween song, The Misfits’ cover of the Monster Mash!
Log in to replyPLEASE DO A 30 ROCK APPRECIATION ARTICLE! can we sing ‘muffin top’ all together now?
Log in to replyvery good compilation but the addition of “zombie graveyard party” by be your own pet would’ve made this a TOTALLY BANGING-LY AWESOMESAUCE playlist
Log in to replyMonster Hospital by Metric is my favourite song ever. That is all.
Log in to replyFeelin’ this comment. Metric is the best!
Log in to replyNEEDS MORE CRAMPS.
Also some The Horrors is good too.
Log in to replyBut really lacking in the Lux Interior/Poison Ivy department.
YES! You guys are seriously lacking The Cramps. Everyone go listen to the Crusher, that’s their creepiest song. Its so freaking good. <3

Log in to reply<3 I have the Scary Monsters (&SF) by David Bowie in my Halloween playlist too. Gives you that really cool end credit of a bad 80's horror film vibe.
Log in to replyHere's the playlist I did, it's a little twisted and eerie though. Listen to it here (I included the cover art too): http://www.4shared.com/folder/NYT0f8g6/Jyzzed_The_Motion_Picture_Soun.html
I think I have played Be True To Your Ghoul about 20 times this weekend. It just makes me laugh so much. Thank you Rookie for another great playlist!
Log in to replyOh my gawd, how awesome! I mean, waah! This playlist is so amazing! Frankly, I don’t really like halloween, though it’s not the same here in Germany as it is in the US. But those songs and skeletons everywhere in the blogosphere are just amazing!
Thank you for this wonderful playlist.
