Rinn Reads 
I just bookmarked this post and later tonight (when it’s dark and creepy :D) I’m going to listen to all the songs!
Yay! Let me know what you think of it =D
I love this, Rinn! I can’t listen now because I’m borrowing someone’s computer for the moment, but I will definitely be listening later. Looking over the list, though, I definitely love the songs you chose! I like how you included some songs that I feel are on a lot of Spooky/October themed playlist(like “I put a Spell on You”), but then mixed it up a little too, with something like “Sympathy for the Devil”. And Bad Moon Rising! One of my favorite songs.
Thanks Stormy =) It’s one of mine too. I wasn’t sure which Robert Johnson song to put… either Crossroad Blues or Hellhound on my Trail, but I stuck with Crossroad Blues in the end.
Great playlist! Ghost Town by The Specials is a personal fav, along with Cash.
Can’t go wrong with a bit of Cash 😉 Thanks for commenting, Alice!
Wow, great playlist! These fit perfectly for the month :)Sympathy for the Devil is one of my favorite songs. I’ll have to bookmark this to listen to more throughout the month. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kim =) I also love Sympathy, have you heard the Guns N’ Roses cover too?
