Composition and promotion
[edit]The EP "[blends] emo punk, trap, country and EDM, paying homage to classic and modern horror films".[1]

Reception
[edit]NME's Jordan Bassett described the EP as "a ghoulish anthology of heavy hitting hip-hop bangers that shout-out Jason from the Friday The 13th movies and the more recent likes of The Purge".[3] [4] Jon Ali of Billboard described the "Halloween-meets-trap" EP as "menacingly delicious", and included "Haunted House" on his "Billboard Pride's October 2019 Playlist".[5]
