I was a big fan of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour and one of my pie in the sky ambitions would be to host a similar show myself. Being as I don't see that happening, I have decided to do it as some blog posts. For the season that's in it, I have decided to go for a Halloween for my first "episode". Dylan would usually throw in some facts related to the theme so I have decided to throw in some recommended comics, books, TV and movies at the end. Anyway, here's a mix of spooky songs and ones that remind me of spooky stuff.
A wolf-like howl carries over the wind.
A monster dances on somebody's grave.
A couple feel like something is out there.
It's time for my personal picks.
Welcome to this edition of Personal Picks where something is out there and I'm starting to worry. Maybe you should enjoy these tunes under your blankets or behind a barricaded door.
