Description
Pink Floyd scored a couple of obscure hippie movies in the late sixties/early seventies. One Of These Days is proof that they could have easily done a horror flick. The wind, the insistent, pulsating bass, the sudden knock on the door, and that single, heavily processed lyric... Creepy and rocking in equal measures.
For this Southern California kid of the ‘80s, Oingo Boingo is synonymous with Shocktober. I could have picked half a dozen great tunes, but I’ve always loved how No One Lives Forever captures the feeling that death is forever hot on your heels.
Of course, there are things in this world that are far worse than death. The dreaded Poodleman, for instance, as related by San Diego’s own Optiganally Yours. I don’t want to spoil the horror, so just listen and let the dread wash over you.
We close with the legitimately chilling Car Chase Terror! from M83. Again, I don’t want to say too much because I think you should make up your own mind as to what exactly is happening here. Suffice it to say, the ending gives me goose bumps.
