About LVCRFT

“Halloween music’s foremost re-animators”
– The New York Times

The coven

What do Beyoncé’s “Halo,” Mark Ronson’s “Bang Bang Bang,” Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Charli XCX’s “Vroom Vroom,” Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” and Rihanna’s “SOS” have in common? They were all written by members of LVCRFT. By day, architects of pop’s biggest hits. By night, a sinister collective of spooky and horror obsessives who cannot stop making bangers in the dark.

What we’ve made

LVCRFT is the brainchild of three of pop’s most prolific hitmakers: Evan “Kidd” Bogart (Beyoncé’s GRAMMY-winning “Halo,” Rihanna’s global #1 “SOS”), Amanda “MNDR” Warner (Mark Ronson’s “Bang Bang Bang,” Flume’s “Like Water”) and GRAMMY-winner Peter Wade, the producer, engineer and songwriter behind records for Jennifer Lopez, Stray Kids and Brooke Candy. The coven widens from there to Bonnie McKee, Sarah Hudson, Uffie and Sarah Barrios, the voice of the song “Skeleton Sam.”

Where you’ve heard us

Operating under aliases like Lil Punkin, DeepKutz and Norman Crates, LVCRFT, since 2019, has spent it’s time building a world: eight albums, a cult following, and paranormal collaborations with Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Adam Sandler’s Hubie Halloween, Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, Chucky, and three consecutive years writing the theme to Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween. Songs play in Spirit Halloween stores coast to coast.

The mazes

Most of what LVCRFT makes, you have probably already walked through. The group scores the mazes and stages all the live entertainment at Thirteenth Floor’s Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, and writes the music for LA’s Haunted Hayride and Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns. Several hundred thousand people move through that work every October.

The collaborators

Horror royalty keeps showing up. Roger L. Jackson, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, Bruce Campbell, John Kassir, Ernie Hudson, Mick Garris, Robert Rodriguez, David Dastmalchian, Jasmin Savoy Brown and composer Christopher Young are among the unholy collaborators. GQ called the group “a clear ancestor of ‘The Monster Mash’ and ‘Thriller.'” Paper crowned them “a musical coven of hitmakers.”

LVCRFT doesn’t hibernate in November. This is year-round. Spooky never sleeps.
