The last place I expected to see a horror story about an old hag that kills kids with a hatchet is a cough drop ad from the 1950s
Newly rereleased album of spoopy tunes in a variety of styles. The tracks are short, but there's a lot of them, so it's suitable to play on a loop for your haunted house or your Halloween party.
Taking place in the same universe as Jack & Ellie (an indeterminate number of centuries in the future), Midnight Town is about Darby the werewolf, Gerrard the gargoyle, and Brandywyck the goblin, who get into crazy and scary adventures of supernatural mysteries and paranormal investigation. Unlike Jack & Ellie, Midnight Town goes beyond European fairy tales and myths, taking inspiration from classic Gothic horror literature and movies, mythology from all over the world- including ancient Egypt and Japan- and of course the spooky comedy of The Addams Family, The Munsters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney's Haunted Mansion, Scooby-Doo and Ghostbusters.
Darby comes from a long line of werewolves, and is a direct descendant of the Irish werewolf Wulver, so he's in werewolf form even during the day. Gerrard, like other gargoyles in this universe, can turn into stone at will. Brandywyck is an inventor and a chemist, creating the gadgets that help them solve mysteries. We also see Darby's girlfriend Clementine, a bookish, well-read werewolf whose family was cursed to be permanent werewolves generations ago, similar to Darby, but she's perfectly okay with it.

I wrote these tracks in a fit of inspiration.
I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve realized how much the Alice Cooper episode of The Muppet Show has been an influence on me. I had it on tape as a kid, and I’ve watched it nearly every October since.
First of all, being creepy is cool.
Monsters playing rock music just seems to work.
It’s okay to be a freak. It’s even a compliment.
Monsters can frolic and play.
Monsters can even be beautiful, in their own strange way.
And public school kinda sucks. (I probably knew that already, though.)
