Song: Spooky Scary Skeletons Artist(s): Andrew Gold (original), Undead Tombstone Remix, LVCRFT & Peter Hollens HAPPY H A L L O W E E E E E E E E E N N N N N N ! ! ! ! 🎃💀👻 🕷🕸 🧹 👹👾😈👽 I can't believe it's finally   H a l l o w e e n ! ! ! I feel like I've been waiting for H a l l o w e e n  to get here for forever but at the same time I'm feeling like... "It's already here!?" This has been a looooooong and truly, at times  "frightening" month for me in a myriad of ways (most notably dealing with extreme stress and anxiety after a family member tested positive for Corona!). But it's also been a super fun and "scary" good month (family reunited!). I was able to successfully celebrate the  H a l l o w e e n  season in a few, different, fun ways (went to a corn maze - haven't done that in years, saw a H a l l o w e e n Light/Firework show, watched loads of H a l l o w e e n movies/shows/videos, listened to all of my...

Song: Oogie Boogie's Song Artist: From, Nightmare Before Christmas Seems like a fitting song for the DAY BEFORE H A L L O W E E N ! ! ! The "Boogie Man" is the most iconic Halloween "monster" of all time! And this dude definitely fits the "freaky" bill! 😱😱 Well, well, well, what have we here? Sandy Claws, huh? Oh, I'm really scared So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha You're jokin', you're jokin' I can't believe my eyes You're jokin' me, you gotta be This can't be the right guy He's ancient, he's ugly I don't know which is worse I might just split a seam now If I don't die laughing first When Mr. Oogie Boogie says There's trouble close at hand You'd better pay attention now Cause I'm the Boogie Man And if you aren't shakin' Then there's something very wrong Cause this may be the last time now That you hear the boogie song , ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh ...

Song: Disney Halloween Medley Artist: Jon Cozart & Voctave Since yesterday's song was soooooo scary & disturbing, I decided I really needed to lighten the mood with this super cute and fun Disney Halloween Medley! I'm pretty sure the first song (in the medley) is from the Disneyland attraction Haunted Mansion mashed with  This Is Halloween! The ending of the song brings back so many Disneyland memories!! Oh, don't mind me, I'm just sitting hear low-key sobbing because I don't know when, if or EVER I will be returning to Disneyland, the most magical-wonderful-happiest place on earth! 😭😭 It's moments like this when I get REAL bitter about COVID! 😡 Anyway, I hope this fun-"spooky" mash-up brings you joy! I don't know who Jon Cozart is but he's adorable and did such a great job!! When hinges creak in doorless chambers And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, Whenever candle lights flicker when the air is deathly s...

Song: Keep'n It Real Artist: Shaggy Uh - that's right Reality checkin' on in Street lives eh Scorpion yeah uh When I was young I use to dream of being rich Have a lot of houses and cars Couldn't know which one was which And finding me a chick and getting hitched Living the fairy tale life perfect without a ditch You think that this would bring me happiness If at the end of every rainbow There was a treasure chest Sometimes having more is really less Take a look inside yourself You'll realize you're really blessed No matter how you're sad and blue There's always someone who has it worse than you Sometimes you gotta pay your dues So don't worry just push on through Keeping it real Gotta big up all my peoples who be working on the future Though they know they gotta struggle Keeping it real To all my homies working on the 9 to 5 And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble Keeping it real Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There ain...

Song: Hide and Seek Artist: Lizz Robinett Discovered this song a few weeks ago and it is FREE - KAY ! ! Makes me think of some, evil, demonic, possessed doll! It gives me the heebie-jeebies! 😰😱 But, I kinda love it (at least for my Halloween playlist!). Ding Dong I know you can hear me Open up the door I only want to play a little Ding Dong You can’t keep me waiting It’s already too late For you to try and run away I see you through the window Our eyes are locked together I can sense your horror Though I’d like to see it closer Ding Dong Here I come to find you Hurry up and run Let’s play a little game and have fun Ding Dong Where is it you’ve gone to? Do you think you’ve won? Our game of hide and seek has just begun I can hear your footsteps Thumping loudly through the hallways I can hear your sharp breaths You’re not very good at hiding Just wait, you can’t hide from me (I’m coming) Just wait, you can’t hide from me (I’m coming) Just wait, you can’t hide from me (I’m coming) Just...

Song: Witchy Woman Artist: The Eagles This song has been on my "list of songs to post for Halloween " for about a year and it's finally making it's big debut! It's an easy going, yet haunting song and definitely has an aura of Halloween to it (not to mention the title!). Watch out for those Wicked Witchy Women!! 🧹 Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her fingertips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spirit on an endless flight Woo hoo witchy woman, See how high she flies Woo hoo witchy woman She got the moon in her eyes She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another room And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon Woo hoo witchy woman See how high she flies Woo hoo witchy woman She got the moon in her eye Well, I know you want a lover, Let me tell you, brother, She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed. And there's some rumors going round Someone's underground She can rock yo...

Song(s):  Threatened &   Is It Scary/Threatened (Immortal Version) Artist: Michael Jackson THE KING OF H A L L O W E E N CONTINUES HIS REIGN WITH ANOTHER BRAND NEW SONG FOR THIS SUPER FAN !!! Ho-ly. Wow. This song SLAYS! And is totally perfect for H a l l o w e e n ! Also, this mash-up of Is It Scary & Threatened has me like 😮😱😝😍 SO FREAKIN' COOL & SCARY & EPIC ! ! !  Especially with that intro right before Is It Scary starts.... sPoOoOoOoOoKy!! 👻 Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction A monster had arrived in the village The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown And this person or thing is soon to be met He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion Oh yes, I did forget something didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster You're fearing me, 'cause you know I'm a beast Watching you when you sleep, when you're in bed I'm underneath You're trapped...

Song: This is Halloween Artist: Marilyn Manson 1 WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN !!! I REPEAT : 1 WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN !!! In exactly one week from right now it will be Halloween day!! I'm so happy and excited that Halloween is on a Saturday this year! It means everyone will be home and can celebrate/hang out together all day long! One of my most favorite (adult) Halloween's happened on a Saturday too and it was just so much fun! I'm hoping this year will be just as memorable, COVID and all! Maybe COVID will make it even more fun because people won't be going out.... Anyway, I've been listening to this version of this song a lot this season. It's super creepy and disturbing and PERFECT for HALLOWEEN !! Marilyn Manson is a literal Halloween character IRL so everything about this song just works!  Boys and girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see This, our town of Halloween This is Halloween, this is Halloween ...

Song: Things That Go Bump In The Night Artist: All-stars Found this 90's/early 2000's sounding boy-girl group song on a Halloween playlist (courtesy of the one and only Apple Music!) and I loved it instantly! Songs like this transport me back in time to better, happier days. It's just fun! Beware of things that "go BUMP in the night!" 👀😱 There's a chill in the air You hear a creek on the stair You got a knock on your door Is there anybody out there? They're out to get you To capture you and make you swear about Howling and Prowling Your shivering and quivering Swear by You cannot run And you cannot hide Yea you gotta face it baby things go bump in the night Where ever you run and where ever you hide Yea you gotta face it baby things go bump bump bump in the night Tell me whose spooking who You hear a shriek in the house You know its freaking me out They're out to get you To capture you and make you swear about Howling and Prowling Your shivering a...

Song: Witch's Brew Artist: David Casper from, Hallweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge Soooooo..... I watched this silly, old Disney Channel Original movie with a few of my siblings and the song that played at the end was so cheesy but catchy that I immediately looked it up to add it to my Halloween playlist! It just makes me laugh and smile! Plus, it sounds like it could be a Backstreet Boys or N*sync song and boy bands have always been my guilty pleasure JAM so... I secretly kinda love it, hahaha! Crept out of bed last night And I saw the strangest sight There in the darkness, what I saw just blew my mind Under a cloak of black And a pointed witch's hat I saw a face that made a chill run down my spine And he looked me in the eye She must have hypnotized me Cause the next thing I remember I was there Standing in her lair Watching as she stirred And then she looked at me and she said these words Eye of newt, and wing of bat And a long black whisker from a big black cat Spider l...

Song: Torture Artist: The Jacksons Don't be fooled by the thumbnail (like I was), that boy ain't Mike! Even though our King 👑, Michael Jackson, doesn't make a physical appearance in today's music video, his vocals are definitely present! As good as the group is, nothing compares to the minute you hear Michael start singing! 😍 He was on a whole different level (always was)! His voice steals the song! It's so magical! ✨The video is a little long but the visuals are so fitting for Halloween and it's just fun! Enjoy! It was on a street so evil So bad that even hell disowned it Every single step was trouble For the fool who stumbled on it Eyes within the dark were watchin' I felt the sudden chill of danger Something told me keep on walkin' Told me I should not have gone there Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife Without your love in my life Alone I walk in the night 'Cause I just can't stop this feeling It's torture It's torture It...

Song: Come Little Children  Artist: Erutan Such a creepy (yet pretty) and evil  H a l l o w e e n   lullaby! Don't follow the music kids! Cover your ears!  This song happens to be another song from the Halloween cult classic film Hocus Pocus . Can someone PLEASE explain to me why everyone likes this movie so much? The only explanation I can think of is you grew up watching it as a kid therefore it brings back childhood memories and has endeared itself to you that way. Any other reason is unfathomable to me! I watched it last year and was extremely disappointed/confused over they hype this movie gets every year!   Come little children I'll take thee away Into a land of enchantment Come little children The time's come to play Here in my garden of shadows Oooh-oooh Follow sweet children I'll show thee the way Through all the pain and the sorrows Weep not poor children For life is this way Murdering beauty and passions Oooh-oooh Hush now dear children, it mus...

Song: I Put A Spell On You Artist: Screamin' Jay Hawkins I know everyone loves this song from the movie everyone loves ( WHY!? I don't get the hype) Hocus Pocus but this version is way more SCREAMIN'!  And I mean that literally. It's soooo weird that it makes me laugh (and cringe) and it really screams H a l l o w e e n !  I put a spell on you Because you're mine Stop the things you do Watch out! I ain't lyin' Yeahhhhh!! I can't stand No runnin' around I can't stand I can't stand  No put me down I put a spell on you Because you're mine (oh yeah!) Stop the things you do Watch out! I ain't lyin' Oh! Oh! I love you I love you I love you, yeah... I don't care if you don't want me I'm yours right now I put a spell on you Because you're mine! A few different versions (if this one is too... crazy for your taste 😜) Hocus Pocus version Annie Lennox The Hound + The Fox HAPPY HALLOWEEN !! 2020 !

Song: When I Am Afraid - Psalm 56: 3&4 Artist: Steve Green OK. So, this song is from a Christian kids album called Hide 'Em In Your Heart   by a guy named Steve Green. Basically, they're bible verses put to song to help kids learn about Jesus and the scriptures better. So why am I, a 28 year old adult, posting a child's song today? Because I need it. And the simplicity of the song is so pure and sweet and true .  I have been having a mental breakdown the past couple of days (since Wednesday to be exact....wow, it's felt so much longer than that....). I have a family member who recently tested positive for Corona virus. I was tested yesterday and am anxiously awaiting my results.* My biggest concern and worry about this whole situation is for my dog. He is 16 years old with underlying health conditions. I googled if dogs could contract the virus and... unfortunately they can!! It's rare and has only happened in a few (known) instances but needless to say, I have...

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...
