Comment:

Like an overstuffed swag-bag of sweets, our [i]Halloween[/i] Essentials should have something for everyone, from the spoofery of Sha Na Na’s “Witch Doctor” to the new wave wonders of Oingo Boingo’s “Dead Man’s Party” and the post-punk Gothica of Siouxsie & The Banshees’ “Spellbound.” We’ve also thrown in the Who (with their arachno-centric creep-crawly classic, “Boris the Spider”) and Santana (the intoxicating “Black Magic Woman”), alongside Michael Jackson, whose “Thriller” video was directed by John Landis . . . who made [i]An American Werewolf in London[/i] . . . which features Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” on its soundtrack . . . but not Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.” Spooky.
