Halloween Playlist

It's hard to top the venerable "Monster Mash" when it comes to Halloween songs. And we should never forget the late, but ever-cool, Bobby "Boris" Pickett's masterpiece, but it might wear a bit thin if that's all your dancing to over the next couple of nights. So I'm here to present you with some other holiday favourites.

A friend asked me to come up with some music for a Halloween party a few years back, so I put together a compilation of stuff from my record collection that people seemed pretty pleased with. While some of these songs are pretty obscure and may be hard to find, here's a Halloween playlist to keep things going past the witching hour:

Dream Syndicate - "Halloween"
Fleshtones - "I Was A Teenage Zombie"
Sunglasses After Dark - "Hellhag Shuffle"
Guana Batz - "Werewolf Blues"
Sickidz - "She's My Witch"
Condition - "Ghost Train"
Zamboni Drivers - "Skatin' Ghost"
Miners Of Muzo - "I Put A Spell On You"
Revillos - "She's Fallen In Love With A Monster Man"
Jerry Vile - "The Attack Of The Blood Sucking Poodles From Hell"
3-D Invisibles - "Where Creatures Roam"
Pharaohs - "Tomb Of The Dead"
Creeping Pumpkins - "Better Off Without You"
Skeptics - "Legend Of The Headless Surfer"
Scattered Limbs - "Walk Without Me"
and a quadruple-shot from Deja Voodoo: "Skeletons At My Party," "Cemetery," "Dead Daddy Dead" and "Monsters In My Garage"
