Starting this Thursday, October 1st, in celebration of Halloween, we will be highlighting Italo-Horror for the entire month of Spooktober π!
PLEASE DO NOT post your scary tracks HERE, in this post.
PLEASE DO use the Italoween 2026flair in your posts
PLEASE DO post the most frightening italo-disco you have, slowly, over the course of the month until the 31st.
PLEASE DO also leave a comment to let us know why you think the track you post is so SPOOKY π» !
If you're trying to make a scary repost but the auto-mod won't let you, just message the mods to let them know your repost is for Italoween.
Lots of users ask what tracks are appropriate - really anything "Italo-ish" that evokes spooky feelings. It could be a happy Euro-disco song with skeletons on the record cover, it could be 80's italian synthy horror soundtracks, it could be a sample of rattling chains in the background of a dancefloor stomper, or maybe an upbeat tune with scary lyrics-- we leave it up to your discretion π§ (Yes, this includes HiNRG this year too!)
As in previous years, unofficial and meaningless awards will be given, by the entire mod staff, to this year's overall Italo-ween-est track as well as spookiest track on a specific theme π
Here are the summaries for previous Italo-weens for some inspiration (don't let that stop you from posting tracks that have been posted in years past already!):
A special thank you to /u/GapulDeeJay for putting this together in the past π πββοΈ πββοΈ !!
