I wonder if anyone else is doing Halloween specific programming?
Artisan Radio just started a 24 hour Ghoul Spectacular, with (mostly) oldie & jazz Halloween oriented music.
Just sitting here now listening to a track - Ghoul Days - by Gene Moss, from his 1964 album, Dracula's Greatest Hits.
Someone on Reddit asked a few months ago what are some good radio stations that play gothic/spooky Halloween type songs or tell scary stories?
The response that caught my eye was this one:

Over the years around Halloween I've heard a station on shortwave that is pretty freaky. Right around 6 MHz. As I recall I mainly could receive it in the hours before midnight. So roughly 4 to 6 hours UTC. They did some interesting stuff"
I have a playlist of several hundred songs in the oldies/vintage jazz genre that I pull out every year.
I keep adding to it as I run across new songs, generally as I produce the Teenage Dreams show.
So just like the Killer Tomatoes, it grows...
Well a little late but I just came across it, the reviews are stupendous but I havent actually listened to it yet - maybe tonight. This link is to the internet archive but its available several places. I've never heard of the movie or the radio play adaptation. It's called PontyPool:

Pontypool follows a radio DJ who tracks a frightening new virus as it spreads through his small town.
Here’s what Horror Squad said:
“This is actually not a new recording, but simply the original audio of the film re-cut as a play. If you haven’t seen the film, I’d highly recommend you do before giving it a complete listen. As fantastic as the audio side is, one of the best things about the film is Bruce McDonald’s [he’s the film’s director] ability to visually trap you within the confines of the radio station, which is something I fear this 40 minute shorter take on the material is without.”
