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!

“2000s horror movies had to adapt rapidly in the new decade. by 2005, the horror genre was as popular as ever. horror films routinely topped the box office, yielding an above-average gross on below-average costs. it seems that audiences wanted a good, group scare as a form of escapism.”

Okay, so we all know the real reason for the vampires-versus-werewolves thing in popular culture is because back in the 1930s, the same studio owned the movie rights to Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman, and they decided to moosh them all together into what is arguably the first Big Stupid Cinematic Universe, but what's slightly less well known is that H G Wells' The Invisible Man was also part of that package. I want to see what the goofy we-swear-it's-personal-horror tabletop RPG based on that facet of the mythos looks like, weirdly artificial taxonomies of playable splats and all – everybody's invisible, but there are like five completely different possible reasons for that, plus a sixth, evil reason for being invisible which you're not allowed to play as because they secretly rule the world.
