Remember when Halloween was once talked about as an “imported” holiday? Today everything has changed and it has now conquered Italians too, including artists. Maybe more than Carnival. Between horror film disguises, pop quotes and gothic red carpet looks, singers and musicians went wild on the night of October 31st and published their mutations on social media, transforming the 'night of the witches' into a real show, between irony and dark glamour. In this way, even musical Italy demonstrates that it cannot resist the charm of thrills.
An anniversary that, compared to others, seems to unite both generations and genders. In fact, we move from the king of rockers Vasco Rossi to the queen of 'baddie' Anna Pepe. The singer from Zocca, thanks to his long stays in Los Angeles, seemed among the most passionate. And he published a reel where, with the use of AI, he takes on the role of various characters from the most famous horror films. And he self-quotes from the song Tide: “I'm not afraid!!! …. of being alone… when I say it I get shivers… really! I'm so insecure… that I don't believe in anything… I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE BUT… I'M ALWAYS SCARED!!!!!!” (capitals and ellipses from the original post, Vasco style, ed).
Laura Pausini
Laura Pausini, however, publishes a video in her Instagram stories in which she jokingly talks with a skeleton in a shopping centre, accompanied by the wish: «Happy Halloween». While Max Pezzali rides the 'trick or treat' wave by giving his fans the release of a box set, with which he celebrates thirty years of the 883 album The woman, the dream and the great nightmarefor the occasion with a splatter version vinyl cover.
Victoria De Angelis
Then there are those, like Victoria De Angelis, bassist of Måneskin, reposting photos and videos of her participation disguised as an angel as a special guest at the Duran Duran concert, on the night of October 31st in Manchester. A show, It goes without sayingall in horror style. Among others, particularly of the new generation, Anna Pepe and Lazza have been converted into 'Creepy baddieween' and 'Lazzinho vampiro', in this case because they are among the headliners of Monsterland, the largest Halloween Festival in Europe. And Angelina Mango, more sober, published her amazement at the metamorphosis of the fluorescent red eyes. In short, if you had any doubts: Halloween is here to stay.
