This year, I tried to pick tracks that sound like they could be from a horror movie — and not just any horror movie, but a solid B horror flick, watched on VHS, with a synthy score that’s way better that it should be given the quality of the movie.

BTW, if you dig this, then check out VGM101’s 16-bit horror episode from this week, as well as its Splatterhouse episode from the week before.

Also listen to all the previous Halloween episodes here.
