Playlist: A Slipfast Halloween

Created by Bridget Cole

It’s a Slipfast Halloween, and this playlist is the perfect blend of eerie, theatrical, and romantic with just the right amount of rock ’n’ roll. It eases you in with The Cure’s hypnotic “Lullaby” and Lana Del Rey’s haunting take on Donovan’s “Season of the Witch,” setting a spellbound mood. From there, things get creepier with spooky classics like The Who’s “Boris the Spider” and The Ramones’ graveyard anthem, “Pet Sematary,” before transitioning into a gothic tone with post-punk legends Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Finally, it closes with the vampiric drama of My Chemical Romance’s “Vampires Will Never Hurt You.” Whether you’re carving pumpkins or heading to a haunted house, this mix will keep your blood pumping and your spine tingling all night long.
