Spooky Songs for Halloween

monster mash, welcome to my nightmare, haunted house,werewolbves of london,thriller,frankenstein, ghost busters, clap for the wolfman,witchy woman,sympathy for the devil, black magic woman..
 
I always thought Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop by Little Anthony and the Imperials sounded spooky at the end, with the backround singers going ooh oooohhhh wwoooooooohhhhh...
 
I also forgot, The Witch by the Sonics (Seattle group around the mid 1960's) also, The Season of The Witch by Donovan around 1969. They did not make it on the Billboard charts, but they had airplay in California.
 
In my ipod mix....which began over 20 years ago as cassettes for my kids (in addition to "Spooky", "Dinner with Drac", "Haunted House" and "Monster Mash".....

"Elvira"...Oak Ridge Boys
"Ghost Riders In the Sky"...Vaughn Monroe (also Johnny Cash, also Baja Marimba Band)
"Devil You"....Stampeders
"Mystic Eye"....Them
"The Thing"....Phil Harris
"In the Misty Moonlight"....Dean Martin

"Dark Lady"....Cher
"Smoky Places"....Corsairs
"She's Got the Devil In Her Heart"...Beatles

Plus a few others that I'll have playing in to greet the trick-or-treaters!

About 10-12 years ago, I had the pleasure of having a beer with the late Dennis Yost at the place where he was performing in Vegas. Nice Guy. It was October, and I was telling him about my mix. He laughed and told me "Spooky" was in everyone's Haloween mix...and if not, something was very wrong. We spent the next few minutes discussing what should be mandatory in all Haloween mixes. He basically taking a "let me guess" approach.

"Don't Fear The Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult
