Every Song Is Halloween
Any chumballone can throw on a Slayer record to soundtrack his Halloween party. Sometimes your guests call for something far more eclectic. Like Mercyful Fate. Just kidding. Terrence Flamm cooked up his ideal mix.
Your Friday Halloween three-fer
With only 10 days left in our Halloween sales event, we’re giving away three entries at a time. This weekend only!
Nocturna: transmissions
In our October 18th edition of Everyday Is Halloween, we turn to one of the longest running spooky music traditions in Chicago — year ’round.
More Halloween than a Halloween
No one has embraced Halloween and horror’s cliches like this man, yet turned them into something so idiosyncratic and identifiable.
It’s only (the) 17th! (Seventeenth!)
It might be mid-month, but it’s old enough for me! Today’s entrant into the Everyday Is Halloween sweepstakes needs no introduction. We’ll trust you to look at the picture.
Seventeen more to scrape a costume together
As promised, another weekend brings three more entries of our Everyday Is Halloween series: East German Olympians, Chuck Schuldiner, and corpsepainters!
Everyday Is Halloween: October 13th
Three men, one band: 31! That’s not all that relates Alkaline Trio to Halloween. They’re from Chicago, and Chicago invented it!
Everyday Is Halloween: October 12th
It would be as garishly sinful if Cher’s legacy were somehow tied to the media circus surrounding her child on “Dancing With The Stars.”
The 11th is Halloween, too
One more month to the scariest day of the year (and quickest to write on checks): 11/11/11! Macabre are even scarier.
Everyday Is Halloween: October 10th
Like tall basketball players and their knees, you have to wonder if — by marrying Gene Simmons — Shannon Tweed got married without paying attention to the law of diminishing returns. Ladies and gentlemen, our countup continues with Kiss!
Every Weekend Is Halloween
Here’s your end-of-weeks primer: Danzig tonight! Plus Parliament/Funkadelic and Locrian!
Everyday Is Halloween: October 6th
Do an image search for Ozzy Osbourne — even add the word “costume” — and 9 out of 10 results have him in modern priest/undertaker garb with his Purple Rain glasses and long, cross necklace. No Bark At The Moon? No Diary Of A Madman?
The only thing that cuts diamonds . . .
It’s October 5th, and Everyday Is Halloween continues with Rodney Pawlak’s recollection of this King Diamond/Mercyful Fate moment.
October 4th: Cuh dis is Thrill-uh!
Everyday Is Halloween’s 4th entry is a landmark in short-film music video . . . blah blah blah. It’s “Thriller”!
