Nothing gets me hyped for Halloween quite like a trip to Midsummer Scream.
I call it my Halloween summer camp because that’s exactly how it feels: 2.5 days of hanging out with all my Halloween friends from around the country as we run rampant in a convention center.
And since the weekend is more about spending time with those friends than any of the activities, panels, or shopping we get to enjoy, I asked everyone in this year’s Midsummer Scream crew to send me two songs that get them absolutely hyped for Halloween. I was pleasantly surprised by some of their picks!
If you listen to this and don’t get excited for Halloween too…I don’t think Halloween is your holiday.
