Music makes the difference

By Hal Hoot & Anne Eek Staff Hootenanny Writers

A recent Harvard study found that music improves your health and well-being. 

“Halloween Hootenanny,” then, the 1998 Halloween rock album from Zombie A Go-Go Records, featuring an opening track about the hootenanny from none other than horror host Zacherle, might actually cause harm.

Yes!

According to monsters everywhere, “Halloween Hootenanny” is a great place to start when bringing monsters together for a ruckus good time.

Rob Zombie has a cool track on the album called “Halloween (She’s So Mean),” The Reverend Horton Heat offers a fun one called “The Halloween Dance,” and The Swingin’ Neckbreakers sing “No Costume, No Candy,” reminding trick-or-treaters about the all important rule of the costume. 

If relaxing music has the power to lower blood pressure and heart rate after physical exertion, as the said Harvard study indicated, improving mood and reducing anxiety through bringing people together, ultimately serving as an antidote to loneliness and social isolation, then “Halloween Hootenanny” should ramp up those anxieties and help bring more monsters to you, ultimately serving as an antidote to your safety and also social isolation.
