Earlier I posted a whole creepy slew of weirdo songs for the upcoming Halloween holiday. It was made up of a variety of artists, from fiddle pickin’ country legends to avant metal maniacs, but, honestly, if you want creepy Halloween themed music there are certain artists that always deliver. Last year we highlighted metal god, Ozzy Ozbourne, the year before that Austin, TX psychedelic horror rocker Rocky Erickson. This year we turn to another group of horror master: GWAR!! The costume clad alien overlords of the snake pit and scu dogs!

X-Cops, “Welcome to New Jersey”, You Have the Right to Remain Silent…
The most well known and sorely missed of the myriad of GWAR side projects. And it’s about New Jersey, a truly scary place!!!

Alright, Alright some of these songs arent scary. Ok none of them are scary. In fact, some of them are just down right offensive. But they are a lot of fun! HAPPY HALLOWEEN MAGGOTS!!!
