Oct 18, 2026
The “Haunted Halloween” edition pairs shadowy instrumentals and hushed, spectral vocals with the small-town witchcraft, ill-fated curse, and rekindled romance of The Ex Hex. Its sound moves from uneasy enchantment toward tenderness, echoing Vivi’s regret and the complicated pull between her and the man she once hexed—without turning the story’s spooky charm into outright horror.
