Gothtober Launches for 2025! Fresh Blood: Lily Adams

Our Gothtober Calendar has officially begun, and we’re thrilled to present Lily Adams as our inaugural artist of the year! Lily makes their debut as Gothtober’s traditional “First Blood,” offering to the ghosts of Autumn. Every Gothtober, DAY 1 is ALWAYS a new artist, marking their exciting first time contributing to the calendar.

Lily’s piece is mysterious and dark—it demands close attention. You’ll need to listen carefully to catch every unsettling detail and subtle shade of this film short. You may or may not hear some… disappointment about house chores. We’re beyond excited to have Adams kick off this chilling and macabre month (and also for temperatures to not be so viciously hot in the 100s any longer in Los Angeles, phew!)

Marquis and the Ghost of Peg Entwistle for Gothtober Day 5

Visit the Gothtober Countdown Calendar and CLICK DAY FIVE to sing along with Marquis!

Gothtober is made in Echo Park, CA, which is in very close proximity of the Hollywood sign. We have many ghosts in Hollywood, but one of the most legendary is the ghost of Peg Entwistle, who ended her life by jumping off of the top of the”H” in the sign in the year 1932 at the age of 24.

The first part of the song contains the words of her suicide note. It was found in her purse by a passersby. While this tune is quite morbid, it’s also quite catchy, and hours after hearing the song, I’ve ended up humming it to myself more than once. Is it just a regular ol’ earworm… or is it PEG’S GHOST?!? We may never know…

This song has NEVER been heard before, debuting today, Marquis said he can’t wait to try it out with the whole band, and neither can we! Until then, sing along with the words below if you’re in a halloween mood:

I am afraid, I am a coward. 
I am sorry for everything. 
If I had done this a long time ago, it would have saved a lot of pain.”
Found my shoes, 
my purse, my coat 
At the icon of this town 
Found my sad little note
And the body I threw down 
Everybody jump like Peg
Throw yourself & twist your leg
Toss your head & let it shake
Leap until you feel it break
You can see this and other dark musical favorites played LIVE by Marquis and The Rhythm Howlers

Some of the other lovely and delicious recipes by Yuki found on her website 

Visit the Gothtober Countdown Calendar and CLICK DAY FOUR to see a brand new recipe by Yuki Okada!

From the creator of AryaBakesAPie.com comes a brand new bloody good recipe for Red Wedding Molten Cakes! Yuki Okada decided to create a series of illustrated recipes based on the HBO Blockbuster show, Game of Thrones. For Gothtober, she’s created a red velvet/molten cake combo recipe in honor of the most infamous wedding in Westeros!  It involves a ganache center, ramekins, heating, chilling, and a whole lot of passion, dismay, deceit, despair… aw hell just… ALL THE FEELINGS.

The resulting cakes, if you follow instructions, will mix together lovely presentation with a delectably gooey center that is aptly named “2 Weddings and a Funeral.”
