The Noskons - The Hunt (Surf From the Crypt)
the dynotones - night of the ghouls (beach party a-go-go)
x-ray cat trio - surfing sasquatch (out for blood)
blackball bandits - The Flyin' Pumpkin (spooky tales and scary noises)

This is the second Messer Chups LP this year and much like The Incredible Crocotiger it's been hard to find. They made a post on facebook saying it's out and didn't respond to the masses asking "where?".

Ideally I would have discovered this before Halloween but Hella Vader likes to date all their releases to 1964 in Bandcamp so it passed me by. But if you want to turn back the clock a week, this should be pretty excellent listening. Hella Vader is never really straightforward, but this is one long cut-up of previous songs and new ones and general guitar weirdness that definitely would have weirded the kids out when they knocked on the door.

Once a year I get to do one of my absolute favorite shows. A playlist doesn't do it justice, make sure to tune in next year to get the full effect

wjlp - johann sebastian bunsen burner (johann sebastian bunsen burner (in D minor))
os brutus - jacques o monstro (cidade suja desastrada)
dr t and the undertakers - undertakers theme (party party party)
the crossfires - dr jekyl and mr hyde (out of control)

Thee Imperial Royales have only released one Halloween EP, and they're back again with two Halloween songs. I can dig it. Their bandcamp page says "This is the latest communique from those inside The Black Lodge. It will start with one song, when we say it starts. When you've forgotten, another song may be added. Then another. Soon the story emerges"" Not sure if that means they'll be tacking a few songs onto this? As far as I know this is digital-only so it's a possibility. Give it a listen.
