Halloween Music reminder

.....I hope it's not too late to be of help, but two years ago I offered six posts which each contained a 45-minute playlist of Halloween songs and the names of the albums where they can be found. The earliest two were all-kid friendly because there are many neighborhoods where parents prefer to offer parties for pre-teens who are too old to willingly walk around with their parents but not old enough to deal with what might be out there at night. And frankly, most of the prepacked collections of Halloween music marketed for kids are intended for very small children; they sound embarrassingly babyish to an 11-year-old. There are some all-ages songs on the other four as well and would work with adult get-togethers just as nicely.

.....You can follow the program order if you like or just cobble your own playlist from what's in your collection (it's amazing how many of these songs come from common, mainstream major label albums many people have lying around). Spend an hour or two for a few days loading them onto an iPod or, for six hours of continuous play, run your audio output into your old VCR (you may want to blow the dust out of it first) and then before the party plug the VCR's output into your stereo system (or hold the party in your house and show silent horror movies while the music plays).

.....You can access these posts at any time by clicking on the link "Halloween" on the right side of this page. Blogger will list the posts in reverse order. Have Fun!
