This Is Halloween

I saved the best Halloween music video for last. As a huge fan of Tim Burton's film The Nightmare Before Christmas and a big fan of Marilyn Manson, this is just a killer combo. The song is out on CD now called Nightmare Revisited (with Korn and other bands doing songs from the movie) and it's also available for download from iTunes.

Final Batch of Halloween Funnies

Heavy Halloween Tunes

Yeah, I know all the standard tunes for Halloween as I'm a man who used to have a party every year and of course there were music mixes to set the tone. I always go with the usual suspects... like Monster Mash by Boris Pickett and A Nightmare on My Street by Fresh Prince, then there's The Witch Doctor by Dave Seville, Adam's Family Theme Song, Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon, Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr, Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell, Black Magic Woman by Santana, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells Pt. 1 (Theme From 'The Exorcist... and the list goes on.

But what if you want your Halloween party to be a bit... heavier? Say something with a bit more "bite" to it? Well, this year's mix from me will do just that. Here's my 50 songs to make any good werewolf bark at the moon while he's banging his head.

Halloween Video Of The Day

Back in the day, not a Halloween went by that we didn't see this video plastered all over MTV early and often. Remember those days, when MTV played videos? Anyway though, it's still an awesome video and song for the holiday. It's by German power metal/heavy metal band Helloween and the song is called "Halloween." Check out the Pumpkin Man guy. I think he was supposed to be creepy, and maybe he was, but now he makes me laugh. Hail the Pumpkin Man! And I don't know what the hell is going on but it's some sort of freaky costume dance party in the middle of the woods or something that's breaking out here. Looks fun.


Here's you some lyrics to follow along at home:

Someones sitting in a field,
Never giving yield
Sitting there with gleaming eyes,
Waiting for big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone,
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will say its just a stupid lie
But watch out. . .beware - listen. . .take care.

Awesome!!!

And for the record, on the next album these guys put out in 1988 had the song "I Want Out" on it, which is still one of my favorite songs from the entire decade.

Van Helsing's Curse

If you're looking for some cool, creepy music for a Halloween party or just in general, look no further than Van Helsing's Curse. It's the brainchild of Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and it's a mix of famous music with dark overtones and an occasional part of a storytelling to accompanying the music. Think of it as Trans-Siberian Orchestra for Halloween. I've got their CD and it's excellent. I play it often every year.

Here's a trailer for them and then a live performance of Mike Oldfield's awesome song from The Exorcist, Tubular Bells, the Van Helsing's Curse way, called Tubular Hell.

Still More Halloween Crap

Sure I've got more Halloween pics from around the net! How about some more jack-o-lanterns, a pumpkin birth, Bert and Ernie-o-lanterns and even a KISS kitty? Should hold you over for a few days. If not click the "Halloween" label after the post.

Tim Burton's Vincent

This is Vincent, a 1982 stop-motion short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs. It's narrated by actor Vincent Price, a life-long idol and inspiration for Tim Burton.

Vincent is the story of a young boy, Vincent Malloy, who pretends to be like the actor Vincent Price. He is obsessed with the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is his detachment from reality when reading them that leads to his delusions that he is in fact a tortured artist, deprived of the woman he loves, mirroring certain parts of Poe's "The Raven".

This is sinister beauty at it's best. Tim Burton is a genius.

Now THIS Is A Lightshow

I love Halloween but I feel like a total loser for just putting up a few ghosts and a big inflatable grim reaper and some misc. stuff... as soon as I saw this unreal light show a dude did at this home to the song "This Is Halloween" from one of my favorite all-time movies The Nightmare Before Christmas. Check this out.



From the user: 2011 Halloween Light Show -- This Is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas. 4 singing pumpkin faces, tombstones, hand carved pumpkins, strobes, floods and thousands of lights. Most all lights have been changed from incandescent to RGB LED so power consumption is a lot less than previous years. Also DMX added to show. All lights, faces and props are custom made (DIY) by me except for the roof line which are CCRs. Controlling channels have gone up 8X from last year. 1144 channels. Light-O-Rama. Riverside, CA
