Playlists

Tonight is Halloween night, the eve of All Saints' Day, but also the night of witches, as one of John Carpenter's most iconic films reminds us. A holiday with ancient traditions, yet still - who knows why - considered new and even blasphemous by a minority, Halloween has inspired countless musicians and filmmakers around the world. Music, in particular, owes a great deal to the holiday and its dark atmosphere, a mix of horror and irony that has stirred even the most unlikely musicians, from the ultra-classic Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, to both vocal and orchestral jazz, all the way to more recent decades, from psychedelic folk to punk, from gothic to soundtracks, up to metal, of course.

The playlist below is just one of thousands of possible choices, ninety minutes of fear and terror - fitting, since fear, as the old saying goes, is scary as hell. Enjoy the listen.
