#1 - This is Halloween

"Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me"
"It was a one-eyed one horned, flyin' purple people eater, sure looks strange to me"
#4 - Monster Mash
1964 ~ Bobby Pickett
Can't help but wonder what Bobby Pickett's social media sites would look like if Social Media existed back in this day in 1964! He really gets into the spirit of the lyrics with his facial expressions!
"From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes"
"For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash"
"The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula, and his son
They did the mash, they did the monster mash"
#5 - I Put A Spell On You
1993 - Hocus Pocus
Love this movie, probably more because of the actors, then the movie merits, but it is a fun Halloween movie with this great song scene.
"I put a spell on you, and now you're mine"
"The Witch is back and there's hell to pay"
#6 - Witch Doctor
1958 ~ David Seville
Maybe because there were not many Halloween songs back in the day, is the reason this song is synonymous with Halloween, or maybe it's just the fun lyrics and the witch doctor that brings our the Halloween spirit, but either way, this classic has it's place in our list with some fun quotes!
