Waiting for an invitation to arrive, Goin’ to a party where no one’s still alive
There are lots of songs that relate to the Halloween holiday. In these posts I’ll write about some of my favorites. This will include low hanging fruit as well as some you may have not heard. No matter the situation I hope some of these songs will get you into the Halloween spirit (get it?). Do I even have a ghost of a chance listing some you like…..ok I’ll stop.

Music from the blood stained organ in the Simmons’ place
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a 1966 hilariously scary comedy starring Don Knotts. The music is by Vic Mizzy. The song below is a remake that Donnie found, while we were at Circle Sky, by an unknown artist. It is very groovy, my favorite version.
Attaboy, Luther!
I watched Universal Pictures 1966 comedy/horror film “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” (for the umpteenth time) on Svengoolie. This movie stars Barney, I mean Don Knotts, as Luther Heggs, the typesetter at the local newspaper. He spends a night in a haunted house, where there had been a murder-suicide, and on this 20th anniversary of the event, witnesses a series of horrifying events. When his story is published by the paper, Luther is a hero but the homeowner, Simmons, sues the newspaper and Luther for liable.
