So you're putting together a mix tape for your Halloween party? Here is where to start.Ever since my teen years I have created a mix of Halloween songs and stuck a speaker out my window to delight/torment the neighbors. It was probably odd hearing some of these songs coming from the church parsonage in the early nineties. Through the years I've added on to my list. I try to keep it clean and un-demonic so to speak. So you won't see any spooooky songs from Marilyn Manson, Ministry or the like. Some of these are just plain obvious but you'll possibly see some you hadn't thought of.
