We’re counting down to Halloween. And it is here. No one can prevent that.

Not even the North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative.

Luckily, they’re not actually trying to stop it. It’s a joke song parodying all-star charity songs. But it’s also an actual charity song for UNICEF. And the guest list is pretty impressive. Names you might know ( Read more... )

It’s always tempting to give all the traditional Halloween monsters equal representation in a Halloween playlist.

If that’s not an option, of course, you can always go for a one-stop-shop song that puts all of the monsters in one place. Usually at a party. And usually in the late 1950s.

We’re counting down to Halloween with music here.

And this wasn’t scheduled for the 2013 Halloween playlist, and I may have even posted it in the distant past as a Halloween song.
