Introducing Cold Boy Tapes- A Terror (2018) playlist event!

As anyone could guess, I’m cig or @bell-swamp-fitzjames here on tumblr, and I love Terror playlists. I found out about a fan run event called @terrortracks / @shackletonofficial and realized I could take up the mantle sort of to continue fostering a place where we can just share some music regarding the Terror (2018). The prompts I have come up with and will be sharing next week are also heavily inspired by Dave K’s Davechella playlist event, as I personally have been adoring seeing everyone’s character playlists. 

This is a lowkey event- participate however you can! Half the fun of making a playlist is seeing that people are listening to it :3 Check out this blog's page for more information about what's all this then. And if you have any questions, reach out <3 Click here to check out the prompts recently released!

Rules:

1. In honor of my dead wife 8tracks, playlists must be at least 8 songs long. Beyond that, there is no set song number per playlist

2. Any kind of playlist is accepted- Apple Music, Youtube Music, Tidal, whatever streaming service you use, simply a written out list.

3. The playlist subject can be Terror (2018) adjacent- Franklin Expedition playlists, other polar expeditions/explorers, North Water playlists if you feel like it

4. Though the event is called Cold BOY Tapes I really encourage considering our Cold Girls too and a reminder that gender is a construct. What would nonbinary Billy Gibson listen to? 

5. Please indicate if your playlist is meant to be played in order or on shuffle.

6. Please tag me & tag your playlist as Cold Boy Tapes 2026 so that I can see your amazing work & have fun with it!

June is around the corner and I wanted to highlight an update to the rules! It was brought to my attention that one of the rules, writing out a list of the songs used, isn't feasible for anyone who may be doing a rather long playlist. I don't want anyone to feel limited and this is such a lowkey event, that I did realize the list suggestion should have been optional.

Unlikely friends…
