1. Count to Six

A creepy Halloween counting song that starts like an old nursery rhyme. One for Mother, two for Dad, and number six is waiting in the dark for someone. A short, scary song for adults with an ending you won’t see coming.

2. Count on the Beat

A funny Dracula dance song about a vampire who has been paying rent on the same coffin for three hundred years, and his landlord is a werewolf. It has a count along chorus made for Halloween parties, with fangs in the air and no holy water allowed.

3. Leave Your Halo at the Door

A dark, sexy Halloween party song set at a masquerade full of red lights, velvet smoke, and cheap perfume. The saints slip out of line, the devils drink the wine, and nobody needs their halo anymore. Made for the late night part of the party.

4. Run, Jenny, Run

A 1960s style Halloween horror song about four friends who go trick or treating on Willow Street. A tall man in a black coat with a carved pumpkin face starts following them. It sounds like a classic oldies teen tragedy song, until it doesn’t.

5. Halloween 1989

A nostalgic 80s Halloween song about plastic Batman masks you couldn’t breathe in, pillowcases full of candy, riding a Schwinn till ten at night, and Mom checking every piece for razor blades. For everyone who grew up trick or treating in the 80s and would give anything to do it again.

6. That Wasn’t Tequila

A funny Halloween party song told as a back and forth between a couple at a costume party with free drinks. There’s a bottle on the tray that looks like tequila, and they take the shot anyway. It’s a comedy song about a really bad decision at a Halloween party.

7. Pumpkin Shaker

A funny, dirty Halloween dance song about a woman in a devil costume whose pumpkins steal the whole party. Shake your pumpkins left to right, bounce ’em underneath the lights. The best damn pair in this whole town, and the catchiest song on the album.

8. Dead on the Dance Floor

A Halloween rap song starring Dracula, fresh out of the casket and dressed for the night. The werewolf is drunk, the mummy’s bandages are falling off, the ghost keeps walking through the bathroom stalls, and the skeleton’s tequila falls right through his ribs. The whole party comes back from the dead when the bass drops.

9. They Called Us Witches

A haunting folk song about the Salem witch trials, sung by the women who were accused. It sounds like an old sea shanty, with a chorus that tolls like a bell. The last verse turns the story around as the dead of Salem come back with the fog.

10. The Salem Witch Is Out Tonight

A dark, seductive witch song about a woman in black lace with dark red poison on her lips. She knows your name before you ever say it, and one look is all it takes. A gothic Halloween song for anyone who has ever been pulled in by the wrong person.

11. Pumpkin Pie Recipe

A funny Halloween cooking song that is also a real pumpkin pie recipe, shouted over a kitchen full of idiots. Kevin had one job, bring the cinnamon, and he showed up with garlic. Foul mouthed, chaotic, and you can actually bake from it.

12. Creepy Clowns

A scary Halloween horror song about a party that gets noticed from the road. Twelve people are inside drinking and dancing, and nobody sees the creepy clowns circling the yard. A dark horror story told one verse at a time.

13. Rave in the Grave

A Halloween monster rap party in the graveyard. Dracula slides out of the crypt, the werewolf tears through the dirt, the witch takes over the DJ booth, and the ghost runs the speakers. Fangs in the air, claws on the ground, and the whole cemetery wakes up for the bass.

14. Cannibal

A dark, hungry Halloween love song about wanting someone way past what’s rational. You look good in the black light, too good to leave alone. A dark pop song for the most dangerous kind of attraction.

15. Eternity With You

A gothic vampire love ballad about an impossible choice. Say yes and lose the sun forever. Say no and lose the one you love. A slow, romantic Halloween song about choosing endless night for someone.

16. Haunted House at 3:33 AM

A creepy Halloween instrumental for the hour when the haunted house is wide awake. No words, just the house. Play it as background music at your Halloween party, in your yard haunt, or alone with the lights off.

17. The Real Me

An emotional Halloween song about masks. All year she hides behind the face everyone expects to see. On Halloween the whole world puts on a mask, and she finally takes hers off and tells the truth.
