I’ve asked friends to help me compile the creepy-dark-sinister-ghoulish-zany-zombyish-or-madcap-macabre list of Halloween songs. I’d like this to be an interactive thing, where people keep adding their ideas and YouTube clips for a Halloween song list.
(Please add your selections to the comment section below.)
This tune has a Portland connection. Here’s what the Youtube description says, “Tarantula Ghoul was Portland’s vampy monster of ceremonies on House of Horror, a late night horror movie showcase on KPTV in the late 1950s. Taranch, as she was affectionately known to her fans, was played by Suzanne Waldron. Graveyard Rock was the flipside of Taranch’s single released on Meadows Records. The song was written by B. Anson and J. Ralston. John Ralston was Suzanne’s producer-writer for House of Horror. The A-side was “King Kong.””
