Ahh, it's that time again! The Wheel of the Year has turned nearly a full cycle, and it is nearly time for my favorite holiday. Halloween! Who doesn't thrill secretly at the stealthy approach of the Great Pumpkin? And as is usual for me at this time of year, I begin to muse on my list of all time favorite songs that I would feature at the bestest of all Halloween Parties. Over the years I have compiled what I think to be a very spooky menu of songs to stir the hairs at the back of the neck. I thought I would open it to public consumption and see what you 'Cats could add to it. Don't limit yourself to any one genre of music. Your songs can be vocal or instrumental, serious or comical, electric or acoustic. But they must all be scary. Here's what I have so far:

1. Anything and everything from Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare.
2. Of course, we must have all of Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Halloween songs, especially the Monster Mash.
3. Spooky (preferably the version by Atlanta Rhythm Section).
4. I Put a Spell on You, by CCR.
5. Witchy Woman, by The Eagles.
6. Black Magic Woman, by Santana.
7. Love Potion No. 9.
8. Don't Fear The Reaper, by Blue Oyster Cult.
9. Werewolves of London, by Warren Zevon (for that matter, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Zevon)
10. Tales of Mystery & Imagination, by the Alan Parsons Project.
11. One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater, by Sheb Wooley.
12. Rare's Hill, Mary Black.
13. She Moved through the Fair, by...hmmm...Who would be the best?
14. Sympathy For the Devil, the Stones.
15. The soundtrack to Halloween, the movie. Also, Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, soundtrack to the Exorcist.
16. Sleepwalk (instrumental)
17.... That’s all I can remember. Now, it's your turn. Let's make this the Mother of All Party Compilation Tapes!
