Halloween Countdown Day 5
Vintage Spooky Songs
Everyone who's ever celebrated Halloween knows the classic songs like Monster Mash, Spooky Scary Skeletons, The Addams Family theme song, and Michael Jackson's Thriller. However, did you know there's a whole spider-web covered hidden vault of vintage Halloween songs lurking on the internet's dark recesses?
There was a trend in the American music of 1950s and 1960s for funny and subversive Halloween songs, and this delightful playlist showcases 13 of them with visuals from the pop culture of those decades. Many vintage Halloween songs are based off the monster and horror movies that were popular in those days.
Listen to them in the comfort of your own tomb, or play them for your ghoulish gathering on Halloween to add some vintage creepiness!

venom is such a good movie. not because it's well written or anything, but because the villain is basically a slightly less evil elon musk and the hero is the saddest, grossest, most pathetic man you've ever seen in your life, and his freakish alien boyfriend, who kill a bunch of cops and have weird makeout sessions
