But, before then, I wanted to post this mix I put together while we drove from Florida to New York. It came together rather nicely I think; a nice balance between solid newby, loving classics, some downer cuts, and well-placed stress-relieving pop-punk jams. All in all, it's worthy of a 15-hour drive.

There is just something about it that none of the other holidays have, so to celebrate this haunting night we thought we would put together another scary music compilation. Basically we found out the links from last year still work so we just added to it. Maybe you can use some of the songs for your Halloween Party Mix. We hope you enjoy and have a fun Halloween.
