Halloween - The Bride of Frankenmix

.....From five undocumented home compilations of Halloween themed music, I've gleaned at least 90 minutes of material not already mentioned on the two previously posted. To briefly recap: on the 10th and 11th I posted the playlists of each side of a cassette I compiled for my nephews in the 1998. Then on the 12th and 13th I posted the two sides of a tape I made for myself earlier. I had actually made other Halloween mix tapes, roughly every other year since the late 80's, but chose to run with those two because the 1998 tape was uniquely all-ages and the 1995 tape was 100% mutually exclusive material. The remaining five tapes each contained at least a few songs also on the first two. But there were enough good songs amongst them to fill at least another 90 minutes. And unless I'm mistaken, that's where you came in...

.....You'll probably noticed that some artists occur more than once during the same program here and Side B (tomorrow), although I avoided doing just that in the four programs that preceded it. Lack of variety was a problem in the earliest incarnations of this project, too. I'd like to think that the quality of the material and adherence to the theme compensate for that. (The songs left off include Mojo Nixon's "The Amazing Bigfoot Diet", because it was really about supermarket tabloids moreso than Bigfoot or the paranormal topics they write about.) Tomorrow I'll put Halloween as a post topic to rest (for this year) but I'll gladly field questions about different sources for any of these tracks in the comment fields.
