A little fake blood and DailyCandy’s Halloween Playlist never hurt anybody.

“Werewolves of London,” by Warren Zevon (Awoooooooooo!!)

“Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games,” by Of Montreal (As awesome as razor-bladey apples are unawesome. Don’t forget to get your candy X-rayed.)

“Monsters,” by The Boy Least Likely To (Q: What kind of monster loves to disco? A: The Boogieman!)

“Braineaters,” by Misfits (All about eating brains. How else do you think Glenn Danzig got into Mensa?)

“Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” by Nouvelle Vague (Wait! What!?!? Bela Lugosi’s dead? That’s so Halloween.)

“Frankenstein,” by The Edgar Winter Group (Have you ever seen Edgar and Johnny Winter? Google them.)

“People Are Strange,” by The Doors (People are strange.)

“Pull Shapes,” by The Pipettes (Halloween party-goers will shake their pumpkins.)

“Punk Rocker,” by Teddybears feat. Iggy Pop (… and then Iggy turned to me and said “Boo.”)

“Simple Plan,” by Hooray for Earth (So good, it’s scary.)

“Monster Mash,” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett (Y’all know the words. Sing along, boys and ghouls.)
