Episode #391 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. October has arrived! Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth kick off the spooky month with one of horror's most unsettling rural themes - Scarecrows & Cornfields! Silent sentinels watching over abandoned farms, endless corn mazes where danger lurks just out of sight, and the primal fear of isolation in wide open spaces create the perfect atmosphere for Halloween terror.

But not every cornfield hides monsters! From bone-chilling boss battles and survival horror chases to surprisingly cheerful field themes and absurdist comedy, this episode has it all!
