I never did a Halloween Mix???

Being born on October 24th to a Mom who bled Halloween, I was guaranteed a Halloween costume birthday party every year, whether I wanted it or not (see photo above - age 6).

While my Mom actually loved ALL holidays, she was big on Christmas. That is why I did Christmas Mix CDs for over 20 years. Halloween was a very close 2nd place for her.

Until recently, I never even entertained the idea of a Halloween Mix. Advances in technology, along with the acquisition of some rare Disney CDs, got me thinking. A few weeks later, and bam. Halloween mix!

While the world climate is getting worse and worse by the second, I'm find myself needing distractions from things I can not control. This mix does a good job, for 53 minutes at least.

Special thanks for Eric Edwards for the Halloween Mix IDs!

As always, don't take the mix at face value. I have messed with the DNA of most of the tracks. LEGAL DISCLAIMER: You're going to hear an acapella track or two of Depeche Mode. I did not use work related multitracks. I did AI DIY separations of publicly released CDs.

2024 NOTE: I added two new tracks (see track listing below) to the mix. If you played (or streamed) the mix before, "shift refresh" and play it again!
