Retiring to his laboratory for the ninth year in a row to concoct the soundtrack for your Halloween season from deep within his 45rpm vinyl treasure trove, mad scientist Jonathan Toubin dug around and Frankensteined the good, the bad, and the ugly to construct yet another non-stop fantastic voyage across monster parties, voodoo rituals, nightmares, and miscellaneous howling at the moon. You won't hear any repros, bootlegs, LP cuts, etc here - but exclusively the original 7-inch vinyl pressings. This year's power hour does the Monster Mash across an island of lost misfit tracks by everyone from the most talented musicians of the post-war era to the most shadowy of unknowns - diabolically uniting time and space and disparate genres to birth this year's monster! Dance novelties, garage punk pounders, rhythm and blues busters, rockabilly rollers, soul shakers, slippery surfers, country crackers, pop peculiarities, and rogue's gallery of ectoplasmic eccentricity! And, if you can't get enough, the other eight mixes are all available to stream on Mixcloud . So far that's now 225 haunted hits and counting! Nine straight hours of pure diabolical NY Night Train party magic for all of your seasonal needs!

Also, if you're anywhere near NYC October 31, witness the world's best Halloween party, the NY Night Train Haunted Hop! This year's 13th edition features a full live performance by the evil one himself from the 13th Floor Roky Erickson! Plus Hank Wood and the Hammerheads, Death Valley Girls, White Mystery, and 14 more bands, room after room of DJs, dancing, eating, drinking, horror cinema, witchcraft, mummies a go go, live visuals, art instillations and a whole lot more! Come early and stay late! Make a night of it!
