An Invisible Oranges Halloween Playlist

Mantel

. . .

There’s nothing that goes together better than metal and Halloween, am I right? I mean, it’s a time of magic, the season of bats, black cats, demons, skulls, horrible spiders, supernatural forces and spirits of the dead. Halloween is the best time to buy both clothes and home decor items . . . in my house the most fun part about Halloween is deciding which decorations my kids will let me get away with leaving up all year round. And no one looks at you funny if you walk around the neighborhood in corpse paint and wearing a cape.

We listen to songs with Halloween-y imagery all the time, of course, but as we welcome the darkest months of the year when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, these themes seem a little more significant. So light a bonfire, carve a turnip and do your make-up. Here are some songs to get you in the mood.
