The 15 year old in my head right now is just chanting “robert plant robert plaNT ROBert PlanT??”
Like, I kinda try not to fan out about artists too much, but also I led my first magical ritual to a copy of IV, you know?

Ok, how is Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s second record together, Nancy & Lee Again (1972), so unlauded? Every note of this thing is a delight.

And finally, Ghosts VI: Locusts, Nine Inch Nails, 2020. (Back out of the vinyl collection now, as this tragically has no physical release)
This is, full stop, my favorite NIN record, which is a designation I tend to take my time on. (Aesthetics really ought to be decided rather than stumbled upon)

Play Me Backwards, Joan Baez, 1992
So I guess I better follow up with one I do need to defend a little. One does not immediately think Spooky when Baez comes up (although tbh she’d 💯 be at home at a goth club, ‘cause there’s somehow nowhere Baez seems out of place.)

In the Flat Field, Bauhaus, 1980
An ex friend of ours had a theory that the two broad categories of Goths are Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy (and then, if my marriage is any evidence, they kiss)

Antichrist Superstar, Marilyn Manson, 1996
You know, I’ve never actually listened to this one full through. He was a little too… well, Antichrist Superstar for my evangelical upbringing, and I was fighting too many other battles in the 90s.

Ambient 4: On Land, Brian Eno, 1982
More Halloween sounds than literally any Sounds of Halloween record you’ll ever find. A classic, and an absolute top tier favorite record of mine.
A exploration of imagined and half remembered places. An ambient record as an impressionist haunted landscape.

There Existed an Addiction to Blood, clipping., 2019
The classic horror tryptic: witches, Christians and cops. I might be showing my biases with my choices here… 🤔
But like “nothing is safe/nothing is sacred/nothing is safe/nothing to pray for” is a chilling start to a horror record.

Satan is Real, the Louvin Brothers, 1959
It’s a serial wife beater and his brother doing bluegrass gospel with a Spirit Halloween tier 6 foot tall wooden standee of Satan. You don’t actually get more Halloween than that.

I woke up this Halloween morning to Florence + the Machine’s new record, “Everybody Scream,” in which Florence Welsh gets back to the business of being a maximalist weirdo after having taken a giant nap in 2022 with “Dance Fever.”

How close were your seats for Wardruna, Penn?
We were the outer edge of the (pointedly excessive) fog machine at one point.
