Halloween Haunts 5: Nocturnal Fright!

More spookiness, mostly 60s. Christopher Lee's "Vampires" is probably a fan-made track. Zager & Evans' "In the Year 2525" - I recall reading a comment some time ago explaining as a young lad, the lyrics freaked him out big time and haunted him for years. The Kords' "Boris the Spider" is a good cover. Bobby 'Boris' Pickett, Johnny & The Hurricanes, George Jackson, Groovie Goolies, Cab Calloway, and others. 20 tracks in all. Enjoy!

Note: About the last track; horror films take liberties with genial tracks and turn them (intentionally or unintentionally) unpleasant for some listeners (ie Tiptoes Thru the Tulips, Jeepers Creepers, etc) by association. I thought maybe "The Laughing Policeman," an innocent, jovial ditty, could possibly achieve the same effect. Try to keep that in mind while listening.
