Easter Mix

Me and my son coloring Easter eggs (2002)

Here's a compilation of Easter tunes I put together. I think it turned out pretty good, considering I put it together in less than a week. There's not a lot of Easter songs to choose from, that's why there are five versions of Easter Parade on here. You can download the Easter songs from the other blogs I posted about to fill a CD, if you're so inclined. I hope you enjoy it.

Monster Jigglers For Easter

I was looking through some old photo albums from the 70's for old Easter pictures, when I came across this one. My brother got a Frankenstein Jiggler and I got a Mummy Jiggler. We had the coolest parents in the world, and we had really bad hair cuts.

FLiP

After you're done looking through my blog, head on over to the Secret Fun Blog and watch his short film FLiP. It's about a monster kid in the 1960's. I highly recommend it.

Halloween In March!!!

Harvey's Midnight Hour suggested that we should have a 'Halloween In March' over at Scar Stuff's blog. I think it's a good idea. Some people celebrate Christmas 1/2 on June 25 or Christmas in July, so why not Halloween In March?

Mostly Ghostly Music Sharing Blaaahhhggg, Distinctly Jamaican Sounds and The Drunken Severed Head are also participating. Check out these blogs for some great Halloween music.


To start things off, click here to download a CD called Halloween Stomp. It has 27 tracks of great old spooky tunes from the 1930's and 1940's.



You can also go through the archives from last October to find more Halloweenie goodness. I'm working on a new compilation of Halloween songs to post on March 31.

HAPPY HAUNTING!!!
