Halloween is just around the corner

[MikaelaMuppet]

The reason why I had a whole bunch of them was because the other towns and cities ended up postponing trick or treating until today and this weekend is because of a storm hitting my state.

 

[MikaelaMuppet]

They still make those things?!?

That's too bad. Hopefully things are back to normal soon. Y'know, I used to love blackouts when I was little. They were always scary, but in a fun way. Although, I guess I never really thought about all the ramifications for everyone else, such as companies and working people, kind of like snow days.

Anyways, any of you guys doing anything special today. I think I might watch a few Courage episodes and Arsenic and Old Lace.

Thank goodness my street didn't lose power.

 

[MikaelaMuppet]

Well, who else would it be?

Negan, LOL.

"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

....and yet Thriller isn't on that list?

Hey, when you listen to 80s music as often as I do, "Thriller" is heard all year 'round.

Mmm, true. Guilty as charged; 80's music pretty much being my favorite decade with probably 70's in second and 90's in third....

 

[D'Snowth]

Actually, come to think of it, there's a number of songs that are treated or regarded as Halloween songs, that I really don't understand why. . . .

"Maneater" by Hall and Oates? "Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo? "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha" by Napoleon XIV? At least with "Thriller," it makes sense, but how do these other songs fit into Halloween?

Heck, mine is more metal oriented and even I had to include it.
