Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: October 28, 2015

On this week’s show we are going to mark the hallowed and harrowing harbingers of Halloween. Over the hour mulled the musical mysteries of the many multifarious myths and monsters, carnivorous cannibals and creepish creatures that are asymmetrically associated with this hagiographic holiday, along with coming face to face with some truly terrifying tunes that are simply scarifying all by themselves.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm Eastern Time (2-3 pm on the West Coast) at http://www.radiofairfax.org. The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived, but some listeners choose to record it on their computers to listen later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
