“Monster Classics” album review https://regenmag.com/reviews/review-pitch-black-manor-monster-classics/   

& a news release https://www.quadcities.com/articles/pitch-black-manor-returns-with-new-record-after-25-years/  PBM's many music videos set to classic horror films on their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/PitchBlackManor 

 

The producer, Erik Peabody, may be responsible for this very spooky channel, Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.

 

David Bowie narrates “Peter & the Wolf” https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLonWRv9u8k-p-hpprl3rr-PmDOhlAzm1a 

 

The Spits have a YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF6qXluX-R7QqxEPi0LvS4g  , but most of their live concert footage is on other channels.  John Waters gives The Spits live set a fine introduction here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3zw4b4yldg 

 

Bands mentioned for playing in black, hooded robes include The Spits , Secret Chiefs 3, & Goblin Cock.  Might there be more?

 

Loveheart mentions the vocals on “Blasphemy” as akin to Cradle of Filth. Furious George as a “goofy” punk rock band https://www.allmusic.com/artist/furious-george-mn0000801584 .  

 

Once again, the vampire rock band comedy “Suck” (2009) is recommended:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1323605/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_5 

 

Three other fine, often very scary movies mentioned in the episode:  Gods & Monsters , It Follows , & Green Room.  

 

Loveheart mentions FZ’s “Baby Snakes”.

 

DJ Poseur's Halloween mixes:  "Dark Chills" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCBeakfAKFQbVbJzD-leE83ysJYCbmY_3 & "Halloween Hits" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCBeakfAKFQavg1LNLkY_16focO89wXG9
