You know, immediately the day after Thanksgiving, radio stations start cranking out the Christmas music right and left, which begs the question... why isn't there ever any Halloween music on the radio every October? I only really had my first exposure to Halloween music a couple of years ago when I discovered Comcast's Sounds of the Season Music Choice channel started playing Halloween songs a week or so into October (because German music was in play for Oktoberfest); there's a lot of great Halloween-related songs out there, which just gets me to thinking why Halloween music isn't a staple like Christmas music is.
My playlist:
"Monster Mash" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
"Witch Doctor" - Alvin and The Chipmunks
"Ghostbusters" - Ray Parker, Jr.
"Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon
"Vampire Girl" - Jonathan Richman
"Here Comes the Bride (of Frankenstein)" - Elvira/The B-52s
"Dracula" - Bob Marley
"It's Halloween" - GT
"Monsters Convoy" - The Hillbilly Varmints
"Nightmare on My Street" - Fresh Prince (Will Smith)
"Redneck Drac" - Dr. Elmo
"Purple People Eater" - Sheb Wooley
"Out of Limits" - The Marketts
"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" - Johann Sebastian Bach (that creepy organ tune they always play in haunted houses)
"Monster Swim" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
Then of course, there's also this:

Kinda like MC Radio, but it's Halloween music 24/7 all year long.
