Halloween songs are fun. Novelty Halloween songs are even more fun. Following our show last week, I thought it would be worthwhile to save the list of novelty Halloween songs I had available to play. You might argue that a few of these don't belong in the list because they're not really Halloween songs (e.g., "Boris the Spider" or "I Created a Monster"). I decided not to sweat this list too much, so I left the borderline songs in. If you think I've missed a song, let me know in the Comments section.
