We’ve been waiting all week, and now the holiday is finally here! The Coffee Breaks have taken a scary, mystical turn in honor of the season, and it was all leading up to today. Since we’ve arrived at one of our favorite days, let’s wrap up our Halloween celebration by celebrating the strange, the weird, and even the slightly disturbing.
Is there a song that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Or maybe one that reminds you of a scary movie? Let’s craft a playlist that is just a little bit creepy.
