Let me just start by saying I love Halloween music! I had the great pleasure to have some concentrated listening time with our iHeartRadio App's Halloween Radio Channel. Specifically on two different trick-or-treat events. I really enjoyed the selection of pop and rock Halloween songs. I probably should call them "Spooky" tunes as most were not created with Halloween airplay in mind, although they fit perfectly.
