Halloween is always a fun night to be had, regardless of whatever age you happen to be. Though, as i’m typing this at around 2:30 am, i’m sort of befuddled as I had a couple (actually, around five or six) of trick or treaters come to my door. I normally don’t buy candy until the actual day of Halloween, so I sorta felt terrible about telling these kiddies that I didn’t have any candy. But who the hell goes trick or treating the day before Halloween? If I were a kid and my parents told me to the night before, than I would be pretty pissed since I wouldn’t expect to get any sort of candy….except maybe some pity candy.
Anyways, whatever ghoulish activities you may happen to get yourselves into tonight, here’s a little themed compilation of songs to hopefully kick off this wicked holiday in the right fashion. It’s always difficult to differentiate these Halloween mixes from year to year, but you pretty much get the gist of it from the song titles. Hope you have an exciting and safe Halloween!

i never ended up finding that perfect sweater to finish my Mr. Rogers costume, so I ended up not even dressing up…
