This year's Halloween Playlist

For the past couple of years I've posted a Halloween playlist to honor my favorite time of year. As the years roll on I have to dig a bit deeper. This year I've included links to all (someone actually made a "Twilight" themed video for defunct Charlotte band the Stellas' song "Vampires"), but one. That one is apparently obscure enough to escape a Google search. You'll find ghost stories, murder ballads, blood spilling killers, and some that are just really eerie (those usually inspire my fiction writing). Some of these are also by local artists. Hope everyone has a happy Halloween. 

We begin with a haunting bluegrass song my dad's friends covered when I was a kid.
