Wrapping up #Frightdayvinyl is of course, #TheIncredibleJimmySmith with his '65 release "Monster" which features interpretations of "Bewitched" and brilliantly, "The Munsters" theme. 'til next week, don't have nightmares and stay safe, stay loose and stay lovely. #VinylCommunity #Halloween #Vinylsky
Xmas and #Halloween are the only occasions I can think of where you listen to certain rekkids for a limited time. I quite like that. Like a friend you look forward to seeing, are happy to see, and have great fun with, but once a year is enough. #Frightdayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Halloween
Another #Frightdayvinyl tradition is the spinning of some sabs. This year it's the first without the prince of darkness himself. Hope you're tearing it up out there Oz. #BlackSabbath #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Halloween
Next up on #Frightdayvinyl is the master of horror himself. Responsible for two of my favourite films in the genre, #Halloween and "The Thing" (one of my favourite films of any genre) he is synonymous with spooky season. This retrospective released in 2017 is essential. #VinylCollecrion #Vinylsky
Released on 31st October 1974, De Palma's "Phantom Of The Paradise" was panned by the crits but has gained cult status since. I first saw it as a teen and #PaulWilliams ' songs stuck in my mind as much as the batshit visuals. A long time fave. #Frightdayvinyl #Vinylcommunity #Vinylsky #Halloween

Another tradition for #Frightdayvinyl is the annual outing for The Sabs. Here's their 3rd from '71 which finds them at their malevolent best.#BlackSabbath #Halloween #NP
Up there as the most recognisable horror score, Herrmann's strings are truly iconic. As Hitchcock himself said it best: “Thirty-three percent of the effect of Psycho was due to the music”. #Frightdayvinyl #BernardHerrmann #Halloween #NP
Next up on #Frightdayvinyl is Richard O'Brien showing off some impressive glam rock chops. Dismissed as trashy (it is! but therein lies its strengths) it still stands up today as a remarkable piece of work, and great fun! #TheRockyHorrorPictureShow #NP #Halloween

Man is the warmest place to hide...We finish off this year's #Frightdayvinyl with Il Maestro and his score to arguably the greatest horror film of all time, the masterpiece that is John Carpenter's 'The Thing'. Happy Halloween. #vinylrecords #NP #Halloween2023 #Morricone
Released 44 years ago yesterday, The Fall's 2nd, 'Dragnet', contains some of MES's nods to MR James in 'A Figure Walks' & Spectre vs Rector'. Plus, 'Muzorewi's Daughter' is frightening in it's own right. Perfect All Hallows' fayre. #Frightdayvinyl #vinylrecords #NP #FallFriday #Halloween2023
