The “Halloweekend” is finally upon us. To build upon a week of Halloween-themed Coffee Breaks, we now move to one of the most iconic motifs spanning across the entire genre of horror — Blood.

This morning let’s make a playlist that focuses on anything that has to do with blood, bleeding and the dark red color that’s associated with it — songs that mention a certain blood-sucking creature of the night is also fair game.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which blood-themed songs do you want to hear?
