Here’s Johnny with his Halloween radio Riot!
Vampires, werewolves, train rides to hell and…raving about wire coat hangers!!!!!!!
Johnny Maraca’s Rock & Roll Riot was cancelled in January of 2018 because 97.7 the Beach changed its playlist to 1970s and newer music, so my mostly ’50s and ’60s tunes were considered too old.
The one show I always looked forward to creating was my Halloween Riot. I mixed scary classics with obscure but spooky songs and, because it was Halloween, when you can stretch the boundaries a bit…some harder stuff!
And…some clips from The Haunting, Carrie, Count Floyd and The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
