Some fear it. We embrace it.

In this sinister installment of Mad Ghoul Radio, we dive into cursed numbers, slasher mythology, and the eerie sounds that echo through horror history. From haunted folk to VHS-era synths, it's a mix built for bad luck and late nights.

We pay tribute to Friday the 13th, stack up a few musical superstitions, and pit two dark legends against each other in this week’s Shapeshifters segment.

Step carefully. It’s Episode 13...

Goodbye to the Prince of Darkness: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

This episode wasn’t planned. It wasn’t polished.

I put this together late Tuesday night, just hours after the news broke that Ozzy Osbourne—the one and only Prince of Darkness—was gone. I’m still processing it, but I knew I had to get something out fast to honor him.

Rest easy, Ozzy. We’ll see you on the other side!

Summer just got sinister. In Episode 12 of Mad Ghoul Radio, we take a late-night plunge into the haunted heart of summer camp season with Lake of the Damned.

From the absurd perfection of Meatballs (1979) to the brooding shadows of forgotten slashers like Madman, The Burning, and Sleepaway Camp, this episode blends eerie soundscapes, cult film trailers, and unsettling tracks that feel like they were pulled from a cursed tape left behind at Camp Nowhere. We spotlight the one and only Felissa Rose—scream queen, Slayer collaborator, and total horror legend—and we get weird with a brand-new Shapeshifters segment featuring a sun-drenched classic reimagined by gothic titans Type O Negative. It all ends the way it should: in a warm place… but not necessarily a safe one.

Fires are dying. Loons have gone silent. Something’s still moving out there.

We dare you to listen!

Welcome back to the haunted airwaves. In this episode of Mad Ghoul Radio, We kick things off with a heartfelt tribute to the late Mark Snow—composer of The X-Files theme and master of mood. It’s not just a nod to a legend; it’s a full-on sonic séance.

From there, we go deep into the strange with a jagged transmission from Cleveland’s own Pere Ubu—no clean boxes, no safe bets, just raw, broken beauty.

We also shine a spotlight on UK-based composer Mark Fox—an underground force in horror scoring with a hands-on approach that borders on mad science. We get an exclusive first play of his main theme from The Death Molesters: Barn of Blood, a new gore-drenched, Grindhouse Releasing-backed film that’s already turning heads in the genre scene.

In our new Bloodlines segment, we trace the DNA of a modern chill-funk track all the way back to late-80's Compton. One dusty electro beat. Two totally different eras. One undeniable vibe.

Then, we hit a raw nerve with a personal tribute to the one and only Ozzy Osbourne—following his final performance in Birmingham on July 5, 2025. DJ Robb shares childhood memories, a wild Harmony House signing, and what it meant to grow up with Ozzy’s voice blasting through the static.

The episode closes with a track that says it all—an anthem for outcasts, misfits, and anyone who’s ever found salvation in distortion.

Is Mad Ghoul Radio a horror show? Sometimes. But it’s always been more than that.

In this episode, I take you back to the roots—before the films, before the podcast, before the name. This whole thing started as a way to share the best music most people have never heard. Not just horror scores or creepy vibes—though there’s plenty of that too—but deep cuts, B-sides, forgotten grooves, and offbeat sounds that stick.

We kick things off somewhere unexpected: out on the lake. Sun overhead, pontoon gliding, cooler full, and a reggae track that hits different when you’re drifting through 250,000 acres of water. From there? A detour into nu-metal nostalgia, a cryptic trip back to the bunker, and a track that feels like a half-remembered dream melting on tape.

Episode 10 also marks the debut of a brand-new segment: Buried But Not Dead—a tribute to the songs that were overlooked, underplayed, or quietly left behind. These are the ones that still haunt me. I dig one out of my own DJ vault to kick it off.

There’s jazz, there’s funk, there’s analog synth madness. There’s Charles Bronson. There’s a band in ape masks. And there’s a final track—like always—from the master himself, Trent Reznor.

Don’t just listen. Feel it. Remember it. Let it get under your skin.

And hey—if the new segment hits, let me know. If there’s something you want to hear—something you barely remember or think never existed—try me. I’ve never failed to find a track. Ever.

Mad Ghoul Radio – Episode 9

The Ghoul returns with a stacked episode blending eerie vibes, cinematic nods, deep cuts, and a few surprises. From vintage grooves to haunting electronica, this one covers a lot of sonic ground.

In this episode, I pay tribute to a legendary film composer, drop a story involving Bam Margera and a wild night in Chicago, and feature one of my favorite bands that my dad introduced me to years ago—still a major connection between us.

We also test out a new segment—Shape Shifters—where I pit an original track against a bold reinterpretation and let you decide which one wears it better. Listener votes are open on the Mad Ghoul Radio Facebook group, and there’s a giveaway in the mix too.

Thanks for all the support and messages. New segments, gear upgrades, guests, and giveaways are all coming. Stay haunted, stay tuned, and enjoy Episode 9.

This week on Mad Ghoul Radio, we ease into a mix of atmospheric electronics, shoegaze textures, post-punk classics, and a few personal favorites that hit just right at night.

From layered guitar haze to pulsing beats and spoken-word interruptions, this episode moves through different moods without rushing. Some tracks feel familiar, others come out of left field—but they all belong here.

It’s a little noisy, a little dreamy, and built to be played loud.

This week on Mad Ghoul Radio, we’re spiraling into the shadows—where EBM pulses, VHS horror scores drip with dread, and funk gets filtered through fluorescent paranoia.

Episode 7 is all about control, atmosphere, and the tension between sleek production and raw emotion. We dig into the icy brilliance of Chris & Cosey, the ritualistic unease of Coil, and pay tribute to the late Douglas McCarthy—whose voice defined an era of underground body music.

There’s haunted exotica, library oddities, and even a few Cenobites lurking around the edges. And yes, we let The Cramps crash the party, because no true horror mix is complete without them.

We close with a track from an album that divided a fanbase but never lost its soul—proof that reinvention can be just as dangerous as decay.

Strap in, drop out, and tune your transmitter to the weird.

The Ghoul is on the air.

Episode 6 – Future Ruins: A Sonic Descent

In this extended episode of Mad Ghoul Radio, we dive headfirst into the world of Future Ruins—the newly announced and highly anticipated music festival curated by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. This isn’t your typical festival; it’s a haunting celebration of sound designers, composers, and sonic visionaries who blur the line between film score, experimental music, and raw emotion.

From the eerie elegance of Cristóbal Tapia de Veer to the industrial might of John Carpenter, and the atmospheric depth of Hildur Guðnadóttir, we explore the work of every artist on the lineup. Expect tracks from Danny Elfman, Goblin, Howard Shore, Isobel Waller-Bridge, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Tamar-kali, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Volker Bertelmann, Mark Mothersbaugh, Terence Blanchard, and of course, Reznor and Ross themselves.

This is a cinematic, emotional journey through soundscapes and shadows—curated by your ghoul-in-residence. Buckle up, hit play, and prepare to be haunted.

This week on Mad Ghoul Radio, we're keeping it close to home—with an episode dedicated entirely to the city that raised me: Detroit.

From haunted metal clubs to fog-filled techno basements, from punk squats to greasy garage stages, Detroit has always done things louder, weirder, and harder than anyone else. This episode is part history lesson, part love letter, and part mixtape for the strange, the heavy, and the haunted.

You'll hear horror-metal legends, ghetto tech bangers, ska-punk chaos, synth-drenched nightmares, and a few stories from my own teenage years coming up in the Motor City.

No spoilers—but it ends with a track that changed everything for me.

Detroit isn't just a place. It's a pulse. And tonight, we're tuning in.
