Halloween puts the willies up me, with things going bump in the dark and all that woo. Here’s a dark yet upbeat selection for the Twerking Witching Hour: from monstrous mashups to spooky soundracks, evil electronica to ghoulish grime, Amy Ghost House, The Punkergeist and the zeitgeist horror of now*.

Oh and the theme from Rainbow and Jonathan Richman -the horror! The horror!

(*I do wonder why people watch scary movies at the moment when just a webcam on Donald Trump would make Paranormal Activity seem like The Disney Channel?).

Spooks and trolls and evil monsters, and that’s just the news. (2:16, 199Mb)
