Little old lady got mutilated late last night...

That may not be an appropriate subject title for a post, but it is my favorite lyric from Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. (It may be one of my favorite lyrics ever, I'm not gonna lie! The metrics, the alliteration...the macabre LOLs it inspires! ♥)

So the time is drawing nigh for Halloween--my most favoritest holiday of the year! I've already started working on my costume, bought goodies to hand out to my students, and now I would like to burn a fresh Halloween CD to take with me to parties and play for the Trick or Treaters.

So tell me, darlings: What are your favorite Halloween songs? What would you most like to see on a Halloween mix?

Please do include the obvious ones we've all heard and boogied to before, and the not-so-obvious ones I may not have heard of, or may not have associated with Halloween before but just fit like a glove!

Bedlam Boys sung by Heidi Talbot. It's an old folk song about madness.



You can get a better version on iTunes that has a longer instrumental.

I'm not really into Halloween - just do it for the kids. But I love this song. The subject is creepy, though ... carve mince pies from children's thighs and feed them to the fairies ...

Ooh, very creepy, very appropriate for Halloween!

I've always been a fan of horror and the macabre, even as a little kid. When I was ten years old I dressed up as the grim reaper. All the other little girls were princesses and kittens and fairies, and I showed up in a long black robe with a hood and a sickle and my face all painted white and my eyes blackened. No one recognized at me first--it was pretty awesome!

What are your girls gonna be?
