9:30 Coffee Break: Blood, guts and gore
by Jill Riley and Sean McPherson

Author Stephen King, exploring the horror genre in his non-fiction book Danse Macabre, wrote, "I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out."
That's the approach we're taking today on The Current's Morning Show for our pre-Halloween Coffee Break. We're skipping past creepy, suspenseful and scary, and we're just going for the gross-out. There are songs out there that can get a little gross, and there are a whole bunch of them that mention blood.
So for today's Coffee Break, what songs to you want to hear that mention blood, guts or other gory things? Send us your requests.
Happy Halloween!
