Halloween 1995

.....Oh, what the hell. If you've been referred to this blog for the all-ages Halloween music suggestions, those are on October 10th and 11th (the previous two posts). Looking over the cassettes I compiled for Halloween, I noticed that there was no overlap whatsoever between the previous 90-minute cassette posted here and one I made for myself three years earlier. Even though the earlier one was conceived with an adult listener in mind, there are a few more songs here that can be tacked on to the other compilations as bonus tracks if you're burning your own discs or loading an i-Pod or whatever. If you do that, however, I can't make you any promises about the flow from one song to another. But, still, they're all Halloween songs, right? For brevity's sake I'll mark them with an asterisk (*).
