We sent out the same set of Halloween-related questions to a bunch of different musicians. All Halloween week we are posting their responses. Here are some spooky answers from Jonathan Rado of Foxygen.

What was the best Halloween costume you ever dressed up in and/or what was the best Halloween you ever had?

I’ve never been very good at Halloween because I never remember it’s Halloween until the last minute and have to go to the costume store, like, the day before, and get something like cat ears and be a cat. The best costume I ever had (also out of bad planning) was me just grabbing what was in my trunk, which was a copy of Catcher in the Rye, a trench coat, and a Band-Aid. So I went as a J.D. Salinger fan with a Band-Aid on his forehead, but everyone thought I was Mark David Chapman.

What was the worst Halloween costume you ever dressed up in and/or what was the worst Halloween you ever had?

I’ve been a cat for the last two years.

What do you plan to dress up as for Halloween this year?

Me and my girlfriend want to both go as Indiana Jones, but I’ll probably forget and she’ll be Indiana Jones and I’ll be a cat.

What’s your favorite scary movie?

The Shining.

What’s your favorite spooky song?

“Monster Mash.”
