Casey's Incredible Halloween Mix Tape: Playlist

Here is the perfect soundtrack to your upcoming Halloween party. Listen HERE

PLAYLIST

SINISTER PURPOSE (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Incredible somewhat obscure CCR track.  Great guitar, vocals and lyrics. John Fogerty penned some creepy horror/sci-fi influenced tunes; "Tombstone Shadow", "Bad Moon Rising", "It Came Out Of The Sky". This could be his best.

WEREWOLF (The Frantics) Another great Northwest instrumental band. They were on the Ventures record label, Dolton. Cool instrumental, cool sound effects. They also released this song without the growling sound effects and called it, "No Werewolf". No kidding.

I'M THE WOLFMAN (Round Robin) Garage rock classic from a sort of west coast Chubby Checker.  The Fuzztones cover version can be found on Little Steven's "Halloween A Go Go".

MURDER IN THE GRAVEYARD (Screaming Lord Sutch) England's answer to Screaming Jay Hawkins.

EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (Henry Mancini) From the movie of the same name.

DINNER WITH DRAC PT. 2: (Zacherle) East coast horror host, dj

and recording artist.  This is by far his best. Great guitar and sax. Wish I knew who was in the band. Smoking.

SHE'S FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE MONSTER MAN (Revillos) Fun cover of this great Screaming Lord Sutch tune. The band started out as the Rezillos, broke up and reformed as the Revillos, broke up and then reformed as the Rezillos. Confused? Me too. The U.K's answer to the B-52s

I AIN'T SUPERSTITIOUS (Howlin' Wolf) Halloween blues courtesy of The Wolf.

FEAR (The Ventures) Great song from one of my favorite instro albums, "Ventures In Space".  The song was written by Henry Lubin who composed a lot of the creepy music for the old tv shows, "Outer Limits" and "One Step Beyond". Many of the other worldly sounds were a product of legendary L.A pedal steel player Red Rhodes.

MONSTER'S HOLIDAY (Buck Owens) Buck recorded this as a sort of a c&w answer to "Monster Mash". Sure it's a novelty but Buck and the Buckaroos sound great.

GRIN GRINNING GHOSTS (BarenakedLadies) Cool cover version of the song written for Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.

THE VOODOO WALK (The Panics) This is a great horror rock n roll record. No idea who the Panics were. They were sometimes billed as, Sonny Richard's Panics with Cindy & Misty.

GHASTLY STOMP (The Ghastly Ones) One of the first West coast horror-rock-surf bands. They were discovered by Rob Zombie and signed to his record label released their classic, "A Haunting We A Go Go". This is their signature song.

SHE'S MY WITCH (Kip Tyler & The Flips) Kip Tyler is one of the unsung heroes of early rock n roll. Recorded a handful of singles on a variety of small West coast labels, all of them pretty great. His band, the Flips, went on to become Duane Eddy's backing band.

THE WITCH (The Sonics) The Godfather's of modern day garage rockers. The Sonics at their wildest.

PSYCHO (Laika & The Cosmonauts) Finnish surf band named after the Soviet dog that died aboard Sputnik 2 in 1957. A surf version of "Psycho"? You bet. It is a killer.

Happy Halloween!
