Halloween Party Tunes

I picked my top 10 favorite Halloween party tunes ever to conclude this week's countdown to Halloween. These are in a particular order!

10. Higher and Higher - Howard Huntsberry - This is the song from the second Ghostbusters, when they were enlisting the help of the Statue of Liberty to break through the 'jello mold' (and it's such an awesome scene!). Great song that's so much fun to dance too.

9. I Put A Spell On You - Bette Midler's version from Hocus Pocus - Sung by the worst witch this world has ever scene, Winnifred Sanderson. Perfect for a spooky Halloween party.

8. Ready To Die - Andrew W.K. - This song is full of energy and spunk, like all of Andrew W.K.'s music, but the theme of this one is perfect to liven up a rather dead Halloween bash.

7. Flying Purple People Eater - Alvin and the Chipmunks - I love the whole premise behind this song, but I just don't like the original. So Alvin and the Chipmunks came to my rescue and provided me with a version that I can actually listen to. :)

6. Thriller - Michael Jackson - The recently deceased pop legend really knew who to do it right. This song has been a Halloween party staple since it's release in 1984. Dancing zombies and Vincent Price? Amazing.

5. Greatest Show Unearthed - Creature Feature - A song about a spooky, unearthly carnival? How is this not amazing?

4. A Gorey Demise - Creature Feature - I was torn between which was better, Greatest Show Unearthed or A Gorey Demise, and this one won. A mix of Edward Gorey, Creature Feature, and Halloween? Yeah, this one definitely won.

3. Beetlejuice Main Theme - Danny Elfman - The best movie about ghosts and poltergeists I've ever seen. I'm so jealous of Lydia's wardrobe!

Click to listen!

2. Monster Mash - The Misfits - This is like running through a punked out graveyard dancing under a full moon. I listenend to many versions of this song, and The Misfits did it best.

1. This is Halloween - Danny Elfman - The most memorable song from the greatest Halloween movie ever made. This wins 1st place hands down. Even if you aren't having a Halloween party, you can still curl up on the couch under a big black blanket, enjoying some hot chocolate and taking in the eye candy of Nightmare Before Christmas.

Sweet Treats

I love Halloween parties. And I love food. Halloween themed food is therefore incredible. Here's a list of 10 of my favorite Halloween party appetizers, in no particular order.

Monster Toes! - I love the idea of chomping on little tiny monster toes. And the pictures makes me hungry. ^_^
Witches Finger Cookies - Hansel and Gretel weren't ones to waste.
Pecan-Caramel Spiders - These look absolutely delicious. I'd love to eat one..and then have a little leg sticking out my mouth while chomping away! Hahahahahahaha!
Spiderweb Cookies - Sugar cookies decorated beautifully. I'd make these all year round.
Ghosts on Broomsticks - If you can get the vanilla into the shape of a ghost, this would be a sweet recipe to try out.
Cheese Pumpkins - I like cheese a lot, but I'm not too fond of cheese food. However, these look like fun.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds - You can't have a Halloween party without these!
Marsh-Monsters - If you're a fan of marshmallows, this is the perfect one for you.
Incredibly unhealthy, but probably rather tasty.
Salty Bones - I want these SO badly. I could probably eat a whole plate myself!
Yummy Mummy Cupcakes - Look at those eyes! I'd eat those first.
