GAYLETTER

As luck would have it, Halloween falls on a Friday this year. In other words, all of New York is about to turn into a crazed, liquor-drenched nightmare in the best and worst ways possible. There’s the grandiose annual Village Halloween Parade that starts at 7 P.M., alongside a laundry list of other events happening all across the city tonight and tomorrow, all of which is to say you have absolutely no excuse not to get the most mileage out of your trendy and/or slutty costume and put everyone else’s to shame. Even if this day used to mean nothing more than a pillowcase full of candy and reruns of Halloweentown on Disney Channel, we all know once you get older it usually just winds up being an opportunity to get too drunk and hook up with that one hottie in the UPS guy costume (no? just me?).

Anyway, since there’s a lot to get to this weekend (don’t forget to check this week’s GAYLETTER for our top picks), we put together a new, spooky playlist of 10 songs to get you in a proper mood for the macabre. We’ve merged dark electronic and dance music with low-key sinister vibes for our mix this time around, which includes the likes of Cakes Da Killa, Future Brown, XXYYXX, Mr Twin Sister, and many more. So go ahead and hit play, climb into that costume, and start getting scary. We’ll be expecting photos.

Listen if you like: séances, slasher movies, Patrón, the devil, having sex in costumes.
