Pre Halloween Prep

OK, for someone as adverse to Halloween as I am, you might not believe it when you look at my house.  I wanted to make sure kids knew that we were participating in Halloween, so I thought I would decorate our house a bit....that's the fun-ness of having a house-I CAN DECORATE THE OUTSIDE!  Plus I mostly love decorating/themes, so I'm finally getting into the Halloween spirit. 

I bought my pumpkins today!
DIRTY!

See how big they are!  I put that soup can there for reference!


I spooked-out the front of my house!  My theme is spiders and bats.   Spooky, but not scary for the little ones.


  I will definitely take pictures of the final product, complete with carved pumpkins!

And most importantly I made a Halloween Hit Mix.  I think the dancer/choreographer/producer/director in me comes out at Halloween, because I feel that music can create a mood that is unparalleled to anything else....well, except someone jumping out of a coffin on their front yard-which DEFINITELY happened in my neighbourhood when I was a kid! 
Not impressed!

Here's what Trick-or-Treaters will be hearing when they come to my house in no particular order
I will be editing these songs in Adobe Audition and creating one long party mix with Halloween sound fx between songs for seamless transitions...

1). Thriller-Michael Jackson (DUH)
2). Monster Mash
3).Abracadabra-Steve Miller Band
4). Somebody's Watching Me-MJ &Rockwell
5).Ghostbusters Theme Song
7). Season of the Witch-Donovan
8). Night on Bald Mountain-Disney's Fantasia (Intrumental)
9).Adam's Family Theme Song
10). Harry Potter Theme Song (Instrumental)
11). This is Halloween-Nightmare Before Christmas
12).People Are Strange-The Doors
13).Boris the Spider-The Who
14). Dark Knight Theme Song (instrumental)
      (very Thriller-like-I highly recommend listening to it!)
16). Halloween Theme (SUPER CREEPY!!!)
17). Purple People Eater

Are there any important songs you think I've missed???

Love the idea of a music mix, if there was more time I'd tell you to ship me a cd. Or maybe send the whole thing as a zip file?? I don't know. lol
