In The Groove: Songs that feel like Halloween without being Halloween songs

The first ever Halloween special on In The Groove! And we did it together — your voicemails and picks on the groove hotline were incredible! Thanks to everyone who dropped a line and shared a song. Highlights include unreleased material from Detroit’s own Dark Red, Suicide, Misfits, Talking Heads and much more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
