This is a variation of a blog I posted a couple years ago. I always say that the Sounds of Christmas plays the best variety of Christmas Music, and that's also true for the Sounds of Halloween. But I think the word "variety" has been so over-used these days that it no longer means anything.
So I thought I'd show you what I mean.
While I probably won't do this again until next year, here's a list of most of the artists we're playing (or we played, depending on when you see this) on the first day of October, when the Sounds of Halloween 2025 began.

Whew!
Of course, that's not close to everything we'll be playing. Not by a longshot. But it gives you an idea of what we mean when we say we play the best variety of Halloween music!
And if you don't see your favorites here, don't worry. This is just the line-up of most of the artists that we're playing (or we played, depending on when you see this) on the first day of October. There's a lot more to come!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and for sharing this early part of the Halloween season with us!
May you always believe in the Great Pumpkin!
