The duo had planned monthly performance for members to watch and enjoy. “It’s fun [to play music] with my friends,” Morehouse said. “I like sharing the music that I like and [I enjoy] sharing new music at school that most people don’t know about.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/IMG_9414-1200x800.jpg)
![Weighing her options, senior Allyana Abao decides between going on a practice drive or calling an Uber. Though unlicensed, Abao has considered driving to be a significant milestone of teen independence despite alternatives that provide much easier solutions.
“You're able to be independent and not rely on others,” Abao said. “You're able to get a job, get things that you need, go places you need to go. I have so many places that I want to go to and I ask [my family] for so much. I want to be independent to where they know that I can do things on my own, so they know that they don't have to be there for me.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2922-1200x900.jpg)

One of my favorite spooky sounding songs is Dogma by The GazettE. I like this song because of the dark sound it has. The vocals in the song also contribute to the overall vibe of the song greatly. For the month of October and for Halloween, I believe this song fits the vibe decently.

My favorite spooky song is “Season Of The Witch” by Donovan. It’s popular but not too well known that it’s overplayed. It’a also energetic enough to excite but calm enough to get an eerie vibe across

My favorite spooky song (It’s more of a ost) is Chimes of the Lucid by Lymph, its a very scary tune and it fits really well with it being spooky, it starts with three layers before going into a chase (which is the full song all together with extra sounds). The chase is basically meaning your getting chased by this thing following and this is playing.

I like Thriller by Michael Jackson because Michael Jackson is cool n I liked his outfit but most of all I just liked the vibe and me n my sisters would sing it n stuff

My favorite spooky song is Thriller by Micheal Jackson because it makes me feel nostalgic and always gets me in the Halloween spirit. It is also a good song, even outside of the Halloween context and I love Micheal Jackson.

my favorite spooky song is “It’s been so long” by Living Tombstone. It’s because the lyrics melody and voice make it creepy and long lasting and the words feel nice as they drag out and explain the story its trying to tell

I agree with you. I also love the song “It’s Been So Long” By The Living Tombstone.

This is also a very spooky song, definitely would recommend if you like horror or scary stuff.

My favorite Spooky song is “This is Halloween” from Nightmare Before Christmas. Its a classic song in my feeling and personally I love the movie its always been one of my favorites.

My favorite spooky song is I Put A Spell On You because I love the movie it is from and I feel like the song puts you into the Halloween spirit and helps you decide on what to be for Halloween if you haven’t decided yet and it helps you get others into the Halloween spirit.
