I’ve been listening to these songs this month so I made this sort of Eighties Halloween playlist. The cover is a still from the movie Night of the Comet.
A Bucket of Blood
Directed by Roger Corman
1959
This movie is in the public domain so you can watch it for free online. If you ever wanted a cheesy horror flick with artsy hipster beatnik types, this is it.
Tim Curry in The Worst Witch
1986
Disc-O-Teen (TV)
1967
Airing from 1965 to 1967, Disc-O-Teen was a live teen dance show hosted by “Cool Ghoul” Zacherley on New York City’s first commercial UHF station, WNJU-TV Channel 47. Like a low budget American Bandstand, the show would have bands come on every day but instead of a live performance, they just played their songs in the background so they wouldn’t have to pay the band’s performance fees. Brilliant!
Check out homies The Box Tops on the show while their hit “The Letter” plays and costumed mod chicks dance to it. I wish they still did TV shows like this. This is on some Ed Wood borderline genius level type shit. So surreal.
Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart
2009
Happy Halloweiners
Yvonne Gage - Doin’ It In A Haunted House
1984
Yea soooo my Halloween Mix is pushin last minute status. I wanted it done earlier this week but now it’s pretty set to be finished by Friday night (just in time!). Until then, here is a sample of what’s in the mix.
