Another UFO: Another Supplemental (Document #MVM02) (A Hellraiser Installment)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

On the anniversary of the Roswell Incident this year, we broke open the UFO file here in the Lava Lamp Lounge, and offered a long meditation on that particular corner of UFO-logy. However, I uncovered a treasure trove of vintage UFO documentaries, and decided to get back to that subject, this time for our annual Halloween Spook-tacular. While Aliens are not precisely Halloween fare, it was nice to settle down with something weird and spooky to close out the season this year.

Enjoy!

The People Who Died 2025 Edition (A Hellraiser “Singles Going Deady” Installment)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

Digging into the archives again, to look for more music and recordings by The People Who Died, trying to keep it focused to 2025 deaths, for the Halloween Spook-tacular this year. Actual deaths are a lot scarier than anything else I could think of, and there were too many to avoid dedicating a show to all of it. Lynch and Lehrer wind up in the mix, along with many other folks, too many to contain in one show, as all of this spilled over into another show a few weeks later.

In this scripted adventure with a cast of characters almost too numerous to mention, we’ll go to Hell and Back just to bring you some Holiday Entertainment. Will we survive this incredible adventure?
