It has been a tradition with this blog to bring you a list of songs for your Halloween partying pleasure. This is a Halloween playlist I created for my Ipod. I've been listening to this list for the past two weeks. Too bad none of the local radio stations will play wall-to-wall Halloween music for even one day, much less two months like they do with Christmas music. I included some songs from horror films, even though the songs themselves are not meant to be scary (This explains "Look For a Star," "Ben" and "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte").
