All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!
If you haven't heard me absolutely gush about DeadAir.co yet, you must be new here. This Halloween Internet radio station is a must-listen for every Halloween lover.
Here’s the haunted history: originally station owner Clay Roe ran an Internet radio station at radiodork.com. Every October, he would switch the station over to all Halloween music for the month, and it kept gaining popularity. It became so popular that in April 2016, Clay registered the domain DeadAir.co, and since then he’s been playing the Halloween tunes 24/7/365.
I was introduced to the station by Justine from Justine’s Halloween back in 2015 — the first year I was running Spooky Little Halloween. I was still so new to the online community and looking for any and every way to take in Halloween content. As a music lover who had a few music blog posts up her sleeve in those early days, I was floored it existed.
Since then, Clay and I have become great friends — even finally getting the chance to meet at Midsummer Scream in 2023. He was also an early guest on By Pumpkin’s Light…and will return to the pod later this month for a special Halloween music discussion!
And his music picks on DeadAir.co have absolutely influenced my own playlists here. To pay homage to that, today I’m sharing a playlist of some of my very favorites I first heard on the station.

And if you’re a listener and love what you hear, I cannot encourage you enough to make a donation to keep Dead Air going:
Running an Internet radio station costs a hell of a lot more than a blog or magazine, and every little bit helps.
