Sean hosts a spooky edition of the program with thirty songs about ghosts, ghouls and gore, three cheap iPhone Halloween soundboards and one sub-par Dracula impersonation.
Check out this monstrously good two-hour set of music — including new songs from KING TUFF, COLD WARPS, MRS. MAGICIAN, CROCODILES, and BAD TIMES!
