THis is a great collection of catchy Halloween tunes that make young children smile.  I have a 2.5 year old and a 4.5 year old.  There isn't anything scary about the CD.  It is GREAT!!!  Infact, at Christmas time, the kids were still asking to play the Halloween CD!!!!

I grabbed this disc for a Halloween soundtrack. I'm a big fan of Los Straightjackets, who are one of three artists on the disc. I hope the trick-or-treaters enjoy it when they come to the door.

Everything from Midnight Syndicate is perfect for background music when drawing/painting horror style art, or for Halloween.  I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys dark, Gothic style music that really creates an atmosphere.

This book is a sweet Halloween story, and one that appeals to all ages.  The artwork is completely adorable and well-done, and the story of the supposedly timid little pig who stays home from going trick-or-treating with his friends, only to be visited by a witch and several other Halloween monsters who then help him create an evening of fun and making delicious treats at home is bound to be an attractive story to any other reader who has a secret fear!  Cute, comforting, and filled with the simple shivers of Halloween!

This is a short (five chapters), delightful read full of clever ideas for a fun Halloween. For those of us who are artistically challenged the author even provides a link for free downloads of scary stuff. Well worth the modest .99 cents and I'm looking forward to volume II next October.

While it doesn't sing the x more days to Halloween, at least it is the Silver Shamrock song and it is pure joy.

I can't wait to put on my mask and watch the magic pumpkin.

This is a perfect Halloween movie for kids and adults who are looking for something spooky that's not gory. Our tween heroine is quirky, flawed, but relatable, and she grows as a person by the end. The pacing is perhaps a little choppy, but there is so much to look at that you might not notice. This movie is beautifully animated (as long as you like stop-motion) and does a better job of creating creepy atmosphere than many movies geared towards adults. With that said, it earns its PG rating and isn't really meant for very young or sensitive children. It's suspenseful, and the fantasy elements are more Hans Christian Andersen than Walt Disney. So, Parents do some Guiding and if your little ones are likely to be traumatized, show them something G-rated instead.

We love this CD. We used it for (shockingly!) a Halloween mix, and almost all of the songs fit in perfectly. There's a lot of variety here, too, which is a plus (more options for you) but also means you probably want to choose which songs fit your party guests. However, it's full of classics, and so you can't go wrong with most of the songs on this CD!

Its the whole film overture...so there is a lot of instrumental music along with all the songs to sing along with, and even some dialogue to link the narrative between songs.  We listen to it all the time, and we as a family will all be the characters for Halloween!

Best mix of creepy carnival music on the net. Going to be using this at the haunt for the clown / freak show tent this season.

I was just thinking about this (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Dark-Radio-Type-Horror/dp/B002R2IG50/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Dark (Radio-Type Horror)</a>) the other day, and was delighted to find it here!  When I was growing up in a suburb of Chicago IL in the '60s, my Mom liked to listen to WGN Radio - and around Halloween they used to play these fun, creepy old radio recordings - and "The Dark" was my favorite.  It's not an over-complicated story - about a mysterious, murderous, creeping dark fog that turns its victims inside out, but for me, the best part was the chilling sound effect (imagine the sound of a wet rubber glove slowly being removed from a hand) of a person supposedly being turned inside out!  That sound has always stuck with me, as it's deliciously creepy and evocative.  I am SO happy to have it!  d8^)

I bought this to play at night time for my son as he falls asleep instead of having a TV on or something else distracting.  The music is great, not so many sounds that it sounds too busy, just simple and sounds pretty.

As mid October rolls around, brisk winds sweep through the crisp autumn air, jack o'lanterns decorate steps and porches, the scent of wood smoke radiates from wood stoves, and the leaves are in their peak season of color. October is a magnificent month, and in celebration of its annual visit, I've decided to review a few great flicks for the Halloween season. The titles that I've chosen to review are "alternative" Halloween movies... not the classics that generally spring to mind, but fun movies with elements of the supernatural. Just good, lighthearted stuff here... nothing gory or scary (at least not too much)!

One such movie is the virtually unknown "Eye of the Beast". Originally created for the SyFy Channel (presumably on a shoestring budget), this film is all about comfort- much like the "cozy mystery" brings comfort to fans of the genre, those who relish in low budget monster flicks will be right at home here. The story is intriguing enough to keep our attention, as the characters embark upon their quest to discover a biological beastie the likes of which we've never before seen. The acting is a cut above the usual requirements of SyFy, highlighted by Van Der Beek's performance. It should also be noted that the cover art for this movie (though truly awesome) does not really do an accurate job of portraying the flavor of this film. There is nothing nearly so gory in "Eye of the Beast", making it okay for kids to view, in my opinion. Though it's no "Van Helsing", this movie is a great "alternative" Halloween movie, for a chilly night during this fun month of October.

This is a book we read (my four-year-old and I) about every other night as it gets closer to Halloween.  I bought it for him last year when he was three and he enjoyed it then, and he still likes it very much.  It's VERY repetitive and the pictures are scary enough without being too frightening. It features a witch, a ghost, a vampire, a mummy and a bat - all who want pumpkin pie for Halloween.  I'd definitely recommend this one.

Retro-Halloween does not get any cooler than "Mad Monster Party." For those of us Baby-Boomer folk who remember this great Rankin/Bass movie hitting the TV airwaves every Halloween throughout childhood, the only thing sweet as the DVD release is that the soundtrack is also available.
With full salutations to the scores of hep rock era Hallows' Eve novelty song compilations out there, nothing matches up to "Mad Monster Party." Picture the hep-rock mode meeting cocktail lounge culture, add a dash of sentimental love, and a healthy helping of Boris Karloff, one of the greatest grandaddies of 20th century horror, and you have the quintessential CD to set the festive mood at any Halloween get together.
Starting off with an eery and methodical instrumental called "The Baron," the second track is the title song, a jazzy piece sung by jazz great Ethel Ennis. Contrast that a few songs later with Phyllis Diller belting out "You're Different" as she romances Frankenstein. Phyllis may not carry a tune like Ethel Ennis, but her boisterous laugh and sassy vocals are totally endearing! Throwing more diversity into the batch, we hear Gale Garnett sing a spirited ragtime piece called "It's Our Time To Shine" (hhmmmm, another tune where a gal is enticing a vulnerable male...I forgot what great and powerful women rock this movie!). One of the last tunes features Garnett singing a genuinely sweet love song that contrasts this flick; while I dig this album for the lounge & party atmosphere, I love the way Garnett's soothing voice brings an odd but sincere sentimentality to a cartoon featuring way-out looking puppets!
The song that really drives this soundtrack home is "One Step Ahead." I'm not saying that this is the absolute finest song in "Mad Monster Party," and Boris Karloff is no Pavoratti, but hearing him sing brings this album from a fun Holiday soundtrack to an absolute archetype of the Pop era's Halloween fests! This is a motivational ode that Karloff's character sings to lift his underdog-of-a-nephew out from under his shell, and there is something truly awe-inspiring when you hear this cartoonish mad scientist voice sing a playful "Get Up & At 'Em!" song. Dr. Phil, eat your heart out!
Don't let the Autumn season pass without picking up this gem. This album is campy, festive and also contains great music. This CD has a special place in my collection!
