Black Halloween - Bo Diddley Is A Zombie (2019)

Fantastic new compilation of Halloween songs by black artists!


Koko-Mojo has culled a collection of some of the best Halloween songs by black artists ever assembled. As an avid Halloween music collector I had many of these song, and there are others that didn't make the cut — perhaps being unable to obtain copyrights played into that, because this could have easily been a 2-CD set — but, still, there are plenty of fresh tracks I was not familiar with, so I am pleased as punch over this nifty collection of spooky tunes.
Enjoy!

Lucifer - Black Mass (1971)

How Mort Garson Inspired Nightmare City Halloween

This is the album that started it all for me!

In 1973 I worked at "Scream In The Dark", Tulsa's ultimate Halloween haunted house attraction. Every night, all night long, the most incredible music played throughout the entire house. It was a cassette tape, looping the album "Black Mass" by Lucifer (Mort Garson), an incredible electronic music tour de force. I thought it was the most incredible music I had ever heard and that's when my love of Halloween music was born.
