Here at Atlas Obscura, we love October and Halloween. This month, we’ve brought you all sorts of chills and thrills, including a deep dive into why fear excites us, an interview exploring what drives Kesha to go in search of ghosts, and learning about a monster from an Arthurian legend. There are more tales of terror ahead—come learn more, and don’t read these stories alone. Maybe keep the lights on.
It's the soundtrack of the deepest, darkest nights of the soul--from Bowie to Bauhaus, from Nine Inch Nails to Nick Cave, from post-punk and dance-pop to blues and country.
