It's impossible to go to a Halloween party without hearing one of these tunes — if not all of them!
They are the go-to tracks for any spooky mixtape. If you're not playing the creepy sound effects. But do you remember who sang them?

No 9 - "Dead Man's Party" – never heard of either

“The Reaper” is heard in both versions of “Halloween” and at the beginning of the original version of “The Stand”.
“Owoooo, werewolves of London. Owoooooo”
Oingo Boingo gave us Danny Elfman, the composer who usually works with Tim Burton and did the “Simpsons” theme.

You got 10 out of 10
Did you mash this quiz… or was it too much of a monster?
The most difficult one was The Oingo Boingo because I've never heard of that song, but I guessed right anyway.

9 of 10. I would have made it if I guessed right. I never heard of that "Dead Mans Party" song... That's OK though, Trick or Treat just ended here and a lot of candy left this year! I'm going to "treat" myself to some leftovers, Mwa Ha Ha (evil laugh)!
If you've ever seen the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, "Dead Man's Party" is played during the frat party scene.
Oingo Boingo?
Really? No wonder I missed it.
Check out Screaming Jay's "I Put a Spell on You" Multiple videos on youtube by the original writer.

Missed #9. I never heard that one.
But I *do* have #s 1 and 7 on CD ("Thriller" and "Chronicle," respectively) and #s 3, 9, and 10 on vinyl 45s. ("Purple People Eater" was marked as stereo - it was a reissue - but played *mono.* Boo-hiss!)

6 out of 10. Would have got them all if the screen hadn't jumped for the freakin ads loading. I am so tired of getting beat to death with these GD ads.
Do yourself a favor and check out "It's Halloween" by The Shaggs.
Oh man, That's a Halloween tradition in our house! The first time I played it, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. We laughed ourselves silly! What a train wreck!!
