| Seratones Necromancer Necromancer / Take It Easy - Single Fat Possum 2015 You've probably heard this on my show before. I play it whenever I get the chance. It will only increase as my wizard Sarendal gains Necromancy levels.

| Blue Ash Halloween Girl Around Again 1972-1979 Not Lame Recordings 2004 The lyrics for this have nothing to do with Halloween as far as I can tell. There's a bare mention of All Saints and then this:
She seldom talks about the future
She's realistic like the rain.
You know, Halloween...the holiday that is realistic, like the rain.

| Warren Zevon Werewolves of London Werewolves of London Warner Music Group - X5 Music Group 2018 Excitable Boy is a much creepier song. But I wait all year for this. The howls, the percussive "huh!". Just a great song to sing any day of the year, but especially around Halloween.

|
4:56 AM |
| Slint Nosferatu Man Spiderland Touch and Go Records 1991 I could have been very obnoxious and played the demo instead, but us Slint fans have it hard enough without deliberately skipping over their most seasonal song. I jest, I could make the argument for many, many Slint songs as "the most Halloween"
|
5:00 AM |
| The Reekers Don't Call Me Flyface (1964) Meet the Reekers Sweet Breeze 2007 This was a request from listener Carmen. Thanks, Carmen, it's perfect and I ALREADY HAD IT ON MY PLAYLIST, so it's doubly fated.

|
5:26 AM |
| Nervus Rex The Incredible Crawling Eye Nervus Rex Rdeg 1980 I appreciate that they had to insert their criticism of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers into the song about a giant eyeball. They are right, it IS a stupid film!!

5:43 AM |
| Dick Curless Six Times a Day (The Trains Came Down) Tombstone Every Mile EMI Music Nashville (ERN) 1965 Note the line about being loaded with potatoes. This man has another song called "Raisin Taters". Dick Curless also has an eyepatch. It wouldn't be a Habitat Enrichment show without an East Coast Cowboy Truckin Halloween Song.
