Ooh, Kendall! Thanks for reminding me! "Mistletoe Bough" is probably one of the most sad/scary beautifully morbid songs I know. Been meaning to learn it for years (from Joan's LP) but not sure if I'll ever have occasion to sing it in public, so others seem to take priority.

"As a Roman Catholic, I object to the statement that All-Souls being celebrated close to Halloween is a coincidence."

Anyway we all seem to be in broad agreement. And yes, what a great thread.

Grey eyes I was disagreeing with Joe Offer

He said

"I don't know if I'd say the establishment of the feasts of All Saints and All Souls (and Christmas, for that matter) were deliberate moves to replace pagan celebrations"

I replied

... in the eighth century All Hallows' day was moved to November the first to counteract Pagan celebrations held on that date..."

As such it is fairly obvious, to me at least, that there is deliberate positioning of the festival dates.

And as this was the main thrust of Gloredhel's post I agree with her as well.

Ilove halloween parties for whatever the reason!

I don't dispute that Allhallows Day was placed on 1st Nov deliberately to counteract pagan celebrations, it is the placing of All Souls day on 2nd Nov that the references above suggest were coincidental.

What a great thread.

I have to agree, gloredhel. Sorry, Joe, but I think you're wrong on this one.

"Like Christmas and Easter, the festival of Hallowe'en originated in Pagan celebration. Even though its name derives from the Christian festival of All Hallows or All Saints Day... in the eighth century All Hallows' Day was moved to November the first to counteract Pagan celebrations held on that date."

For example, the timing of Christmas was due to a pagan festival previously a bonfire to encourage the Sun to return in the depths of winter, and because it's difficult to make the serfs give up their holidays (Holy days) they just wacked in a different meaning while allowing the serfs their time off while weaning them away to the new religion.

As far as Halloween celebration (I'm drawing a distinction between recent customs over the last two hundred years and its origins many centuries ago) goes, the Irish have always been big on it and the American version of celebrating the modern Halloween comes from these Irish origins, while in England we are following on (commercially at least) from you merkins. Don't forget, one of the reasons we don't celebrate individual days as much as the Americans is that we have on average four to five weeks' holiday a year and you lot seem to get far less.

Sadie Damascus was asking about Reynardine usually boxing day in the UK is a day for the big hunt more Christmas than Halloween. Robb Johnson has written one (on his Album "Maggie Thatcher- My part in her downfall" irregular records) called Boxing Day with the chorus:

"And it feels like winter,
spit to eat and hell to pay.
And it feels like Reynardine on Boxing Day"

John P say Hello to William and Felicia for me, I booked them last year as my last guests at the folk club I was running (Uxbridge) before I left. It was on my birthday and it was a fantastic night.

Harsh but fair, Joe. It had been a long day, the caretaker was trying to lock up and throw me out, and the server was on the blink. More haste less speed I think. Thanks for fixing the link.

Gloredhel, the statement that the placing of All Souls Day was a coincidence was my reading of the story related in Brewer's Phrase and Fable, (see link above).

If you follow This link The Columbia Encyclopedia states that the celebrations and customs associated with All Souls Day were a completely separate development from Halloween.

I don't know if I'd say the establishment of the feasts of All Saints and All Souls (and Christmas, for that matter) were deliberate moves to replace pagan celebrations. These celebrations came from local churches, and quite obviously grew from pagan feasts that were part of local tradition. The celebrations grew in popularity as centuries went on, and were eventually accepted by the church as official. By the time they became "official," the pagan roots of the feasts had long been forgotten. It seems to have been a process of natural growth (folk process???), not establishing something to replace an older tradition.

As a Roman Catholic, I object to the statement that All-Souls being celebrated close to Halloween is a coincidence. First, the word Halloween is All-Hallow's Eve, or the eve of All Saints Day, Nov. 1st. Second, for All Saints and All Souls Days to be placed together makes sense. These two being placed close to the Celtic celebration of the dead at Samhain was a deliberate part on the move of the Catholic Church to replace the pagan celebrations with their own rituals.

Halloween, Oct.31st, is of course the eve of All Saints Day, Nov 1st. All Souls Day was Nov 2nd, but the souling songs and plays were often performed on All Souls Eve, or the evening of Nov 1st. To further confuse matters many of the songs and customs predate christianity anyway and are more to do with Samhain, the pagan festival which took place around the beginning of November.
According to Brewer it is coincidental that the Catholic church holds All Souls day so close to Halloween, Click here

It is not entirely true that Halloween is not celebrated in England. Trick or Treating has become more popular in recent years, but in my childhood, (early seventies), we always had a Halloween party, with special food and games, particularly bobbing for apples. It is sad to see the English way of celebrating these old festivals gradually dying out and being replaced by American style activities, but that's globalisation at work. Guy Fawkes night is not a big event in the calendar of English Catholics.

Bit of a non-musical diversion:

I went to a boarding school in Devon called Allhallows, which not surprisingly was pretty big on Halloween. In the C19, before the school moved there, a cargo ship laden with marble was wrecked on Halloween on the coast below the cliffs on which the school perched. The master of the big house later gained salvage rights to the ship and its cargo and built a great marble staircase in the house. The ghost of the ship's captain was said to walk up the cliff path into the house every year on Allhallow's Eve. The 6th form boys used to collect sacks of seaweed from the beach every year and at dead of night spread it in the entrance to what we called the Main School, along the corridor and up the marble staircase. The trail disappeared outside the Headmaster's study on the upstairs corridor. It was all very Harry Potter looking back on it.

How about "Thriller"?
also The Funeral March for A Marionette (is that the title?)

Then there's the old camp song,

Did you ever think when the hearse goes by
that you might be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a long, white sheet
and put [a tombstone?] at your feet.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
and [something something] like sauerkraut.
Your stomach turns a glossy green
and puss flows out like whipping cream.
You sop it up with a piece of bread
And that's what you eat when you are dead,
So, when I die, don't bother to bury me at all,
Just pickle my bones in alcohol!

Roy Buchanan (RIP) did a nice almost-rockabilly version of "Haunted House" on his first album. Todd Rundgren does one song called "Wolfman Jack", about the legendary DJ, on "Something/Anything", as well as a creepy one called "Black Maria". Ry Cooder's version of "One Meat Ball" on his first album gives me the willies (don't know why, really). And speaking of "Oh, Death", you could probably get a whole tape off the Harry Smith Anthology. I wouldn't stay at your house that night, though.

Halloween is a really big deal here, although we celebrated it in Scotland when I was a kid, but nothing like to the same extent as in the US.

It appears to be be kind of traditional here for men to dress up in women's clothing for Halloween parties, a custom with which I have reluctantly complied for the last couple of years.

This year, I plan to go as Dolly Parton. Songs to be performed will include will include "I Enjoy Being a Girl" from "South Pacific" and "W.O.M.A.N" by Peggy Lee.

Halloween, the Eve of All Saints is not celebrated in England, it is celebrated in Ireland and of course the US, in all my years working in England I never heard it mentioned. In England, Guy Fawkes Day on the 5th of November was celebrated in a similar fashion. The big question is why is it so big in the US, curious to know which ethnic group was responsible for introducing it. Slan Ard Mhacha.

As I turn to revising my Halloween mix for this year, I'll be walking away from this thread with some new ideas, and will throw in a few from my extant mix:

• Turkish Song of the Damned by the Pogues, a chilling shipwreck ghost story ("the dead have come to claim a debt from thee")
• Toccata and Fugue in Dm--Bach, preferably on pipe organ
• Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by either XTC or Crash Test Dummies; I prefer the Dummies' version, even though it leaves out a verse
• Synchronicity II by the Police, with all its dark Scottish loch stuff
• Addams Family and Munsters themes, just to be creepy and kooky
• The Time Warp, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner
• The Graveyard Symphony by ??
• Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon, to round out a creepy Zevon trilogy with the aforementioned "Werewolves of London" and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner"
• X-Files theme
• Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens
• The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas
• Rattle My Bones by the Suburbs, a fabulous local Minneapolis new wave/punk band from the eighties that no one's ever heard of ("head bone's connected to the headphones, now dig the word of the Lord")
• Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones
• Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf
• King of Pain by the Police, again
• Psycho theme
• Rock Lobster by the B-52s, which just has a kind of Halloweeny feel to it

I'm thinking of adding a number of those mentioned above (esp. "Skeletons In My Closet" (the actual title of "48 Years") which I never would've thought of, even though I once thought of learning it--thanks, Grab!, never thought I'd see it mentioned on the 'Cat!), plus Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King."

HAUNTED HOUSE
As recorded by Jumpin' Gene Simmons, 1964.

I just moved in my new house today.
Movin' was hard but I got squared away.
Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud.
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house.

Still, I made up in my mind to stay.
Nothin' was a-goin' to drive me away.
When I seen somethin' that give me the creeps,
Had one big eye and-a two big feet.

I stood right still and I did the freeze.
He did the stroll right up to me,
Made a noise with his feet that sound like a drum,
Say, "You'll be here when the mornin' come."

Say, "Yes, I'll be here when the mornin' comes.
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run.
I bought this house; now, you know I'm boss.
Ain't no haint gonna run me off."

In my kitchen, my stove was a-blazin' hot
Coffee was a-boilin' in the pot.
The grease had melted in my pan.
I had a hunk o' meat in my hand.

From out of space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans.
"Say, that's hot," I began to shout.
He drank the hot coffee right from the spout.

He ate the raw meat right from my hand,
Drank the hot grease from the fryin' pan.
He said to me, "Now, you better run,
And don't be here when the mornin' comes."

Say, "Yes, I'll be here when the mornin' comes.
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run.
I bought this house; now you know I'm boss.
Ain't no haint gonna run me off."

Try this one. I learned it from a recording of a radio interview with Kendall a local folk show I think hosted by Anne Dodson. He performed it accompanied himself with guitar. Kendall, what are the chords?

MRS. RAVOON

I climbed the clock tower 'neath the noonday sun;
'Twas midday, at least, ere my journey was done.
But the clock never sounded the last stroke of noon,
For there from the clapper swung Mrs. Ravoon.

Mrs. Ravoon, Mrs. Ravoon,
You are too much with me, late and soon.

I stole through the dungeon whilst everyone slept
Till I came to the place where the monster was kept.
There in the arms of a giant baboon,
Rigid and smiling, lay Mrs. Ravoon.

I stood by the water, so green and thick,
And I stirred at the scum with my old, withered stick,
When there rose from the depths of the limpid lagoon
The luminous body of Mrs. Ravoon.

I pulled in my line and I took my first look
At the half-eaten horror that hung from my hook.
I had dragged from the depths of that limpid lagoon
The bloated cadaver of Mrs. Ravoon.

I went to an amateur butcher I know
For the gut of a cat for my violin bow,
But I never imagined I'd pay my next tune
On the shuddering entrails of Mrs. Ravoon.

I ran through the marsh 'midst the lightning and thunder,
When a terrible flash spit the darkness asunder.
Chewing a rat's tail and mumbling a rune,
Mad in the moat, squatted Mrs. Ravoon.
