Halloween Playlist (Red Right Hand, Not Monster Mash)

This Halloween playlist is for people who'd rather hear “Red Right Hand” than “Monster Mash.” It opens with Tuff Mosey's “Tunnels Under London” — a silent-horror single about the things living beneath the city — and spaces the rest of their B-movie soundtrack singles (“Robots of Doom,” “Beware,” “Forbidden Moon”) through two and a half hours of cinematic horror and sci-fi music. Around them: recognizable spooky-season classics from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Bauhaus, The Cramps, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Tom Waits and Echo & the Bunnymen, paired with under-the-radar psychobilly, horror-surf, horror-punk and garage-goth bands — Screaming Lord Sutch, Zombie Zombie, Man or Astro-man?, The Rezillos, Messer Chups, The Meteors, Nekromantix and more. Rat Soup Records tracks link through to full song pages with lyrics and credits.
