We’re Celebrating Halfway to Halloween Month All April

Music

Well, it took awhile, but April is finally here, a time of Easter eggs, yellow chickadees, and fluffy bunnies. While that’s all fine and good, April means something else entirely for us horror hounds out there. It means we’re only six months away from October.

In other words, we’re halfway to Halloween, folks.

To celebrate, Consequence of Sound is following Shudder’s lead and has programmed an entire month of tricks and treats. From chilling interviews to live watch-alongs to spooky podcasts, there will be plenty of things going bump in the night in your feed.

Below, we’ve unpacked a bag of bones to sort through…
