Editorial Reviews
Leave it to Rhino Records to come up with the best party music for Halloween rave-ups. In contrast to New Wave Halloween, this set of 10 tunes is aimed squarely at the family listening environment. "Monster Mash," sung by Bobby Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers, is a hoot decades after its origin. And Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell on You" is aptly eerie, if not a tad funny in this setting--considering that "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" comes after and the Addams Family theme comes before. And lest you think this set of tunes is mired in the depths of Halloween tunes from generations ago, it also has "Ghostbusters"--which reeks of datedness anywhere but here. --Andrew Bartlett

Halloween Hits
Alot of great trick or treat party tunes
By Kim K.
You can't go wrong with this if you are looking for some fun music for Halloween. Whether you're planning a party or just want to listen to this while distributing candy, this is probably the best Halloween music collection around. Now if only RHINO would come out with a Part 2. Great fun here for everyone.
Great Music Sung by the People that Made them Great!
By MomOBoys
A CD of fun, & silly Halloween music that you can enjoy because it's the recordings of the original singers, not the original singers brother's cousin's hairdresser's aunt. If you like Dr Demento type music, then you'll love this! My kids enjoy it as well. The 2 best songs are of course, Monster Mash and Martian Hop. Give it a try!
Perfect Halloween music!
By L. Zeigler "Extreme Mom" (Utah)
This CD has most of the classic "spooky" silly songs, all sung by the original performers.
I am very happy with the CD, and my kids loved most of the songs.
Editorial Reviews
Gold assembled a handful of knowns and unknowns to make special cameos on this melodic and fun collection of original and classic Halloween tunes with a pop-rock bent. Among the haunted are David Cassidy, Karla Bonoff, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Bishop, Nicolette Larson, and Gold's children and wife. From the Beatlesesque touches of "It Must Be Halloween" (parts seemingly lifted from "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") to Boris Karloff's "Monster Mash" and "The Addams Family" theme song, Gold and company offer up treats that kids and their parents will like, including the "Ghostbusters" theme. But with cooler original fare like "The Creature from the Tub" and "Spooky, Scary Skeletons," you have to wonder why they relied on so many predictable cover songs. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not was I was looking for ... it's MORE than that!!!
By Gatzpup (United States)
I wanted a CD to play while the kids were trick or treating at our house this year. After looking in the stores, all I could find were creepy sounds, not songs. This CD is just what I was looking for and then some. I like the fact that the music is original (or at least most of it is). Speaking of that, the ONLY thing I would change would be to take out Ghostbusters (not my fav). The songs are funny, just scary enough, catchy, silly, and entertaining for all ages. Way to go, Andrew Gold!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the BEST Halloween CD EVER!!!
By Kelly Bunting (Canton, MI USA)
My entire family loves this CD during the crisp fall days while out driving to the cider mill or pumpkin patch! New and exciting songs that you will learn to sing along with very quickly. A Halloween must-have. So many friends have asked "What CD is this?I have to get it for the kids!" We have actually considered getting another copy just in case something happens to ours - we could never be without! My husband and I adore the "Creature from the Tub" - "....icky and sticky, hope it doesn't lick me!"
Wonderful!!!

Halloween Hits By A Customer
This is a wonderful CD for the family. My young children love it and we spent lots of time dancing to it. We even listened to it at my child's kindergarten Halloween party. It was a big hit. Unlike many of the Halloween CDs today this one is not frightening. It is fun and upbeat. I highly recommend it. Alot of great trick or treat party tunesBy Kim K.

You just need one look at Rob Zombie to know that the guy knows a thing or two about Halloween. He really proves his mettle--and his metal, for that matter--on this loud, garish, downright fun collection of rip-roaring devil's music. There's actually very little to be afraid of, to tell the truth--unless, that is, you have a phobia about the kind of goofy good times laid down by Zombie and pals like Rocket from the Crypt, Satan's Pilgrims, and the wrestling-masked power-surf combo Los Straitjackets (who turn in a hypercharged "Munsters Theme"). The garishly groovy package, which features some of Zombie's most over-the-top cartoon illustrations, is rife with haunting hoedowns like the Dead Elvi's "The Creature Stole My Surfboard." More fun than a coven meeting any day. --David Sprague

It also features a spoken intro by Zacherley, the famous TV Horror Host from the fifties. He also sits in with the crazy fun Southern Culture on the Skids for some spoken word on the track, Sinister Purpose.
This is one of those CD's I put in the player and hit repeat all tracks and start working at the computer, because I enjoy all of it. I just have to get up from working occassionally to dance around madly. The artwork inside and out on the CD is also very killer, very retro creature feature-esque.
Fun stuff!
