While I’m one of those people who thinks that classical music is the perfect soundtrack for all aspects of life, some folks think it is particularly well suited to Halloween. Join the super-scary Linda Bruno for an hour of spine-tingling favorites this Saturday night at 7:00. The trick-or-treaters will get a kick out of Night on Bald Mountain, Toccata and Fugue in d minor, Funeral March of a Marionette, the Dies Irae from Mozart’s Requiem and so on. A spooktacular program of great classical music guaranteed to raise the little hairs on the back of your neck. Happy Halloween from KDFC.
My Top 5 Spooky Movies:
The Shining
The Others
Rosemary’s Baby
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Don’t Look Now
I am looking forward to the magic that these great compositions
hold. October night, gathering moon. Black fingers in the open sky grabs the darkness across the mouth, burning voice of leaves.

I’m looking forward to playing this out our window as we greet and treat the kids in the neighborhood! Thanks for this!

Dianne–great list! Glad you didn’t include THE EXORCIST like everybody else always does–I think it’s a brilliant film & I’ve seen it several times, but I’ve never thought of it as a “scary” movie or a “horror film”. The masterpiece THE SHINING gets scarier every time I watch it. and HEY! you included one of my faves, the underrated THE OTHERS–superb. Also THE SIXTH SENSE. For me: the films that never fail to scare the s*** out of me are DEAD OF NIGHT and THE CHANGELING (no matter how many times I watch them, they always get to me…). The most horrific film I’ve ever seen is FUNNY GAMES–I wish I had never seen it–very disturbing and haunting (I can’t stop thinking about it–it just won’t “go away”)…enough. Dianne, nobody does what you do as well as you do; so glad you’re there. luvAL

I’ve stuck a little radio out in the tree by our gate playing KDFC scary music!
