When I started the 31 Days of Halloween series back in 2014, The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen defined the vibe I wanted for the playlist. I wanted songs that felt like Halloween but weren’t the usual Halloween songs like Monster Mash, so I went off of the Donnie Darko playlist. Specifically this song. (Oh, and tomorrow’s song but you’ll have to wait for that one!) What I wanted was spooky vibes without overt Halloween lyrics. This song delivered. Plus, Donnie Darko is an excellent sort of Halloween movie. The bunny is scary. The movie has an amazing soundtrack. And well, Jake Gyllenhaal is a babe. What more do you want? Cheers to Day 29 of 31 Days of Halloween. We’re so close!
