AccuRadio will kick off their 2010 Halloween channel tomorrow, October 20, 2010.

Access to the Halloween channel is on the main page newar the top on the right. From the webpage:

Enjoy AccuRadio's newest channel, dedicated to the scary fun of Halloween!
Getting into the spirit of Halloween, we're very happy to debut a brand-new channel dedicated to one of our favorite holidays. While it was certainly more challenging to build a Halloween-based music channel than it was to create our popular AccuHolidays channels, a little digging yielded a horrid host of scary songs, ghoulishly goofy novelty songs, and even some bone-chilling Broadway. Have a happy Halloween, and enjoy the brand-new Halloween from AccuRadio.
