This emerged from its loamy grave for a few converging reasons: every October I rediscover how cool Theatre of Ice was/is, I recently read the new Die Kreuzen book from Feral House, and then just the other day “World in Action” popped up in my Youtube suggested. So here’s a rougher, angrier Halloween mix than usual, though not without its tender moments.
As always, don’t forget to check out or revisit spooky selections from previous years.
