It's an early Halloween mixtape this year and we're about to dive into the world of scary, spooky, and creepy music!  Even within the topic of scary music, there's a lot of variety, ranging from the chilled out tone of "Ruined Mine" from Gunple: Gunman’s Proof to the hard hitting crunchy bass of "Underground Sewers" from Fester's Quest.  There's a lot here to investigate, so put on a brave face and sneak into the frightening lair of Scary Music 2.
