Ramble On - Or How I Get Through This Life

Boo To You Too! Songs for Halloween

October 31st 2007 07:34
Today I was reading Aaron Adams Lame Ass Blog regarding Halloween and thinking about Halloween rituals when I was growing up. Good Lord how the times have changed. My parents would dress my sister and I up and we would go with a large group of neighborhood kids to every house in the neighborhood. One year I dressed up as Captain Hook and my sister was Tinkerbell. I loved the idea of wearing a hook and torturing my sister and the neighborhood "lost boys" who actually dressed the part. My best friend dressed up as Peter Pan. He caught a lot of shit because of that. In my neighborhood any boy kid called "peter", dressed in tights, in Texas,.... was just asking for a beat down. If he had really had the ability to fly then maybe he would have been able to save himself.

My son loved Halloween and because his birthday is a week before, we would always have a big Halloween themed birthday party for him each year. I would pull out all of the stops...costumes, Halloween themed food, music, games, and decorations. Now, I spend Halloween quietly. My neighborhood never gets a lot of trick or treaters so I usually end up going to a movie or concert.

Friends here are a list of ten of my favorite Halloween Songs


10. “This is Halloween”- Marilyn Manson



9. "Alison Gross" - Steeleye Span



8. "Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon –



7. "I Put A Spell On You" - Screamin' Jay Hawkins –



5. "Frankenstein" - Edgar Winter Group



4. "Witch Queen of New Orleans" - Redbone



3. "Bela Lugosi's Dead" – Bauhaus



2. “The Monster Mash” - The Misfits



1. “Dragula” – Rob Zombie

Hi Mis

I feel mean because I didn't have anything to give to the kids when they popped by. But now I am craving some chocolate or something sweet and I think they should give some to me

Happy Halloween Mis

We never had halloween growing up so i never really understood the meaning of it all - only what I saw on the movies about it. My first year in England 7 years ago was my into to Halloween - it was great! I thought of getting myself a costume and making up for lost time

Can never go past...
'When there's somethin' strange,
In the neighbourhood,
Who ya gonna call?
GHOST BUSTERS!'

Have a good one

I hope your Halloween was filled with tricks and treats! Dressing up and drinking mass quantities of alcohol seems to be the adult way to celebrate this holiday. Thanks for hanging around here!

I loved Ghostbusters.....such a campy movie!
