Authors Note – I feel really bad that I’m just posting this now… I was getting ready to go to bed this evening and decided to check my SPAM folder… boy was I glad I did because THIS gem was in there. Thanks SO much Sam for passing along a review copy and my sincere apologies for the delay!

Recommendation

If you like spooky horror music you HAVE to give this one a listen. Put it on in the background and just enjoy the vibe. I’ve been a lifelong pro wrestling fan and I can’t help to pick up some old school Undertaker, Brood and Mankind tones here and that’s AWESOME. Just what I was looking for this holiday season!

If you’re looking for some creepy, spooky tunes this Halloween season give this one a listen – it’s TREMENDOUS!

I've been a fan of horror and slasher movies for as long as I can remember. I consider the original Halloween to be the best horror movie of all time and my guilty pleasure horror flick would be The Exorcist III. You can find me on X at @406Northlane or TikTok @406Northlane where I'm sure I'll offend you at least once a day.
