Happy Halloween!

So Halloween is here and I’ve been looking forward to it. It hasn’t always been like that for me. I thought I had outgrown Halloween when I was 18, but here I am dressing up for Halloween. Of course, I’ll be wearing something classic rock inspired. I’ll be dressed up like Ann Wilson on the Little Queen album cover. It’s a bit tricky to get all the pieces for the costume, but I think I have most of it, but there will be some differences and creative licence. I have a butterfly necklace that I will wear since I don’t have a necklace similar to what she’s wearing and butterfly is a reference to Dog and Butterfly. Let me share with you a little Classic Rock Halloween playlist to get into the spirit! Keep on the lookout for my Halloween costume on my Instagram.

  1. Favourite Halloween song: Keepin’ Halloween Alive – Alice Cooper

    No costume this year. I usually dress as Paul or Gene from Kiss.

  2. Loved your playlist. Perfect.

  3. Great playlist. Add a little Alice Cooper with “I Love the Dead”. And to get the kids thinking a little bit as they walk up to your house “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict” by Pink Floyd on a few different devices and not in sync.

  4. Great playlist, kudos especially for Wicked Annabella. Underrated Dave-sung album track, even though it does sound a lot like The Who’s Boris the Spider.
