31 Days of "Spooky" Music Day 2: Theme to "Wellington Paranormal"

      Thanks to HBO Max, this year I discovered the spin off to "What We Do In The Shadows" (the original film, not the also quite excellent FX series)" "Wellington Paranormal".


     I have talked about this show a little in one of my Weekend Magic videos in the What Got Me Through The Week segment, but briefly put: the series follows two members of the Wellington Police who appeared briefly in the original film. Presented as a Cops-esque documentary series: Officers O'Leary and Minogue, along with their sergeant, Maaka, keep the people of Wellington, New Zealand safe from all manner of spirits, demons, aliens, and the living dead... sort of.


     This is about the theme though, and for me the theme song hits all of the right notes to make it onto a Halloween night playlist. For me it contains a lot of the same elements that make the themes to shows like "The X-Files" and "Gravity Falls" also Halloween must-haves.


Here is the theme from series one:


Here is the series two version:
