Knott's Berry Farm : PUKE: ANIMATRONIC SCARY MACHINE
OAK RIDGE BOYS: ELVIRA
Queen Dora: Witch's Egg : HALLOWEEN
RED SOVINE: PHANTOM 309: HALLOWEEN
What classifies a song as aHalloween song?It is words. It is feel. It is unmistakable. Almost every genre of music has a Halloween representative, although I have yet to find a Gospel or Christian Halloween song in my searches. Much of this music must be sought out since it will never make it onto a Halloween compilation CD or onto commercial radio. As Halloween approaches, my never-ending search for new Halloween sounds reaches a higher level while stores stock current offerings. Each year I find something new. Each year I find more of the same old usual suspects. Let us start with the stories about the songs that you have most likely heard.
Sheba Wool and A Thing with One Big Horn and One Big Eye
Sheb Wooley (a.k.a. Ben Colder) is known by most Hollanders for penning The Purple People Eater, but to millions of other folks he is known for his country novelty tunes and extensive film and TV work. Wooley first got the idea for The Purple People Eater when a songwriter friend told him his son had come home from school with a joke about a "people eater." After recording what he deemed as a "bottom of the barrel song," his label decided not to release it. They thought it was something they did not want to be identified with. Somehow a copy of the song made its way to the company’s New York offices. They loved the song. The country’s fascination with UFO’s and the Sputnik phenomenon in full swing, the NY office reconsidered the release. In early 1958 The Purple People Eater became the first single ever to hit number one in its second week on the charts. The Purple People Eater catapulted to Number 1 for six weeks in 1958, sold over three million records and received a gold record within three weeks after it was released. It is the Number 24 song of the 1955-1959 rock era and has sold over one hundred million copies.
Mr. Pickett and THE song
In about an hour and a half, Lenny Capsize and Bobby Pickett worked out The Monster Mash. Halloween music was forever changed. These two members of the singing group the Cordials decided to take advantage of the novelty song craze happening in the early sixties. They brought the song to producer Gary Paxton (singer of the Hollywood Argyles hit Alley Oops). After the session, Paxton dubbed the band "Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett and the Kropotkin's." On October 20, 1962, after eight weeks on the charts, the record hit Number 1 just in time for Halloween. It re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on August 29, 1970 peaking at Number 91 and again on May 5, 1972 when it went all the way to Number 10. Over the years, The Monster Mash has sold over four million copies, received three gold records, and is easily one of the most popular novelty records of all time.
Gimpin’ Gene Simmons:
fortunes from a Haunted House
Haunted House was first recorded in the late 1950s by Johnny Fuller (Specialty 655) but failed to chart. In 1963 Domingo Studio (a.k.a. Sam The Sham) was performing Haunted House live clubs and on television. People went nuts when he performed the song. Jumpin’ Gene and Sam the Sham were playing clubs together in the early sixties. Gene saw how folks were reacting to that song. Ray Harris at Hi Records asked Gene to see if Sam would record Haunted House for Hi Records. Sam declined and said he wanted to cut the record on his own. Harris wanted to proceed with their recording of the song and asked Jumpin’ Gene if he would cut the record. Simmons has said the session was not like his others in that "everyone involved had fun." By August 1964, Haunted House (Hi 2076) had made it to Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. After years of unsuccessful releases Haunted House would be Jumpin’ Gene Simmons first hit and would launch him on his first world tour.
Screaming' Jay: Original Shock-Rocker
Many years ago I was fortunate enough to catch Screamin’ Jay Hawkins at a small nightclub in San Francisco. The show was weird, excellent—but weird. I Put A Spell on You was THE signature song. Hawkins crept around the stage in a cape, brandishing the smoking skull on a stick he named ‘Henry.’ He was a crazed cannibal, a voodoo jive master. What I did not realize at that time was his immense impact on macabre music, especially on the presentation of that music. Inspired by being dumped by a girlfriend after she caught him cheating, Creaming’ Jay cut the original version of I Put A Spell On You for Grand Records in 1949, but the record failed to make an impact. Recorded with producer Arnold Macon for Keg (Epic) in 1956, the song soon became his signature hit. Max on insisted that Jay’s recording needed to live up to the strange title and suggested that they turn the session into a huge party. Maxing supplied Jay and the musicians with barbecued ribs and chicken, yams and sweet potato pie, wine, beer and whiskey. After a while, he turned on the tape. A week later Scramming’ Jay was brought a copy of the recording. He was shocked and refused to believe that the recording was of him. After some Scotch and some practiced mouth contortions, he accepted it as his own. I Put A Spell on You was banned from radio airplay across the country due to his "cannibalistic" delivery. It was eventually edited for radio with moans, grunts and groans removed. I Put A Spell On You was Screamin’ Jay’s only big single, selling over a million copies, but it never made the charts. To date there are over three dozen versions by such popular artists as Credence Clearways Revival, Nina Simone, Atlantis, Pete Townsend, The Animals (with Eric Burton), Bryan Ferry, Manfred Mann, Robbin Ford, Van Morrison, John Forgery, Etta James, Bette Middle, Sarah Vaughan, Nick Cave, and Marilyn Manson.

The Scariest Videos on the Internet - Leshock ValueMy favorite thing about October is the scares. Sometimes we get some good ones in theaters ("Paranormal Activity), sometimes some bad ("Saw (Insert Any Number Here)"). But with the invention of this crazy "internet" thing, there are plenty of scary videos out there free of charge. So if you dare to become that person jumping out of your chair at the office, or watching 3 minutes of terror in the privacy of your own home - here are my picks for the Top 10 Scariest Videos on the Internet. We start with #10....10. Ghost on the Staircase
This ghosthunter does his best to summon something hiding out on his staircase. He calls her "Carrie," but does she answer? You be the judge!
9. Spirits in the BackyardAll you want to do is cut the grass, but you have to worry about "them" showing up again.
8. Japanese Girl in the Mirror
Leave it to the Japanese, but they seem to know how to execute a good scare. Watch the mirror closely, no doubt it's fake, but well played at least.
7. Hide and Seek - FROM THE GRAVE!
This father records himself playing hide and seek with his daughter. This is strange enough...until he finds that there might be a third playing with them. A third - FROM THE GRAVE!
6. The Crying Ghost
The "Father of the Year" from the previous clip comes back for more. Too bad his daughter is nowhere to be found. This time he hears something creepy coming from the hallway. I'm sure his interior monologue went something like this:
"I tell you what. I'm not sure what that thing is, but let me fire up this video camera and go check it out!"
5. Ghost Car Police Chase
This is a great video. Police are in hot pursuit of a driver on the run, when suddenly, he's gone.

All the people in this selection share one thing – they’ve all been arrested while they were disguised!People arrested in costumes! (10 pics) » Izismile.com - In fun we trust! Pictures, photos, videos, flash, games, celebs, hot stuff
Some were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, others just used their costume to commit different crimes. Well, some fun for the cops I guess…
My favourite is the woman disguised in a cow.
Michele Allen, 32, of Middletown, Ohio, was arrested after neighbors reported witnessing her chasing children, blocking traffic, and urinating on a porch. The officer who arrested the belligerent bovine says she smelled of alcohol. Allen was charged with disorderly conduct.
Spencer Taylor of Three Rivers, Michigan, was arrested on July 27th, 2008 for trying to steal Batman paraphernalia from the lobby of a cinema. Taylor, dressed as Batman's nemesis the Joker in a purple cape and fearsome face paint, was restrained by theater employees until police arrived.
Fares Baroudi, 25, was pulled over in Tampa two days before Halloween in 2007. He was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, and later released on bond.
On Halloween of 2005 Vanessa Molina, 23, entered a Washington Mutual Bank in Lacey, Washington. Clad in head-to-toe witch attire, Molina demanded cash. The startled teller handed her the cash, but not without a surprise Halloween treat. As Molina made her escape from the bank, a red dye pack hidden in the money exploded in a puff of smoke, forcing her to abandon her loot. The felonious sorceress was later arrested, tried and sentenced to 13 years in prison for the Halloween heist along with a string of other, albeit plainclothes, holdups in the Olympia, Washington area.
From the mug shot collections at TheSmokingGun.com comes this young man, dressed as a misguided pop princess, with big sad doe eyes to match.
Unemployed Oregonian Dusten Jacob Williams, 20, was caught red-faced on April 24th, 2006, waving a gun around outside a middle school. According to police, Williams pressed the weapon, a BB gun made to resemble a Glock, into the stomach of a student. He then rode away on his skateboard, but was nabbed a few blocks away.
Convicted sex offender Mark E. Perk, 40, of Chicago must have gotten his inspiration from Loony Tunes when he came up with a scheme to fool the Chicago police, who maintain a registry of sex offenders to keep neighbors informed of who is dwelling next door. When Perk showed up to pose for the pervert catalog, he wore a wig, fake mustache and glasses. However, the ruse didn't last long. A neighbor's search of the sex offender database uncovered the real Mark E. Perk beneath the wig and specs.
In Key West, Florida, police arrested a street performer known as "Gold Man" on a warrant for the charge of selling crack cocaine to an undercover cop. When he's not entertaining tourists, "Gold Man" goes by Daryl Brooks, and apparently spends his days chasing all that glitters.
In another case of pre-Halloween lawlessness, 21-year-old Will Johnson was arrested in Savannah, Georgia, on October 30th 2005 for running around in traffic, performing pelvic thrusts, screaming profanities at cars and otherwise causing a commotion, all while dressed up as Lion-O from Thundercats. For those unfamiliar with the classic cartoon, a Lion-O costume involves a blue leotard and an orange mane-wig. And, of course, feline face paint.
Wearing more of a lifestyle than a costume, Samuel McGilton of West Virginia was arrested after security cameras captured the 72-year-old pleasuring himself in a public library; he claimed he was just pleasure … reading.
