Hey all, I produce a weekly music podcast called All Time Top Ten. Each week myself and a guest pick a topic and discuss and play our top ten songs based on that topic. This week, in celebration of Halloween, my guest Matt Dinan and I present our choices for the greatest Halloween mixtape ever...

Hello everyone! I am posting this on behalf of my cousin. He and I are both working on our haunts, and for his, he will be playing music. I am considering doing this as well. What I think would be awesome (I love haunts that do this!) is to have some heavy metal/thrasher music playing. I have a...

I thought it was about damn time I write another vintage horror theme! I love writing tracks like this - those bombastic and dramatic scores from classic horror/sci-fi films.

I am thrilled to open up "Dark Ride" for pre sales. This album has been in the works for 16 months, every second of it was a joy. Because of the great anticipation and demand, I have decided to give you the chance to get a limited edition before it is released to the public. This limited...

I can't believe this October is almost over! I had such a blast at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights this year that I just had to do this remix. I don't usually do this kind of stuff, but I think it's just nerdy enough for it to slide. It has all (well...most) of my favorite horror film scores...

I love the classic Universal monster movies of the 1930s and '40s. Further more, I love the scores to those films. So, I decided to try my hand at creating an authentic sounding, classic horror film score using Hollywood Strings and other East West libraries. Below are two links, one to the...

My daughter, having taken piano for about 2 years, composed this song for my 2010 Halloween video (not up yet). We finally got a good, clear recording today and we created a YouTube video so we can share it...

I love story songs. And I'm on a quest to find more of them. Not sure what a story song is? Here are some YouTube links to a few. They are by no means an exhaustive list. So, what's your favorite story song?

This has been bitting me, so I'm posting about it. What kind of music do all you haunters listen too? For me, I like Disturbed and Three Days Grace. When I'm working on the haunt, I like Rob Zombie. So, hard rock and metal.

I was reading the Pumpkinrot blog and through it I discovered Kristen Lawrence. If you're looking for some POWERFUL, ghostly, organ-heavy, operatic Halloween music in the vein of Danny Elfman for your haunt I strongly suggest learning more about her. Here are some links to a few of her...
