Happy Halloween; may your costumes be flattering and your candy melamine-free. You can find "The Monster Mash" on your own time.

1. Screamin' Jay Hawkins, "I Put a Spell on You"
2. Edgar Winter Band, "Frankenstein"
3. Guess Who, "Clap for the Wolfman"
4. Kristin Hersh, "Your Ghost"
5. Crash Test Dummies, "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead"
(don't worry; the superior XTC original is on tap for another day)
6. Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party"
7. Stevie Wonder, "Skeletons"
8. R. Dean Taylor, "There's a Ghost in My House"
9. Ministry, "Every Day Is Halloween"
10. Bow Wow Wow, "I Want Candy"

ETA: Y'all didn't need to see "Thriller" again, didja?

Bless you for including R Dean Taylor -- if only Levi and the Tops had covered that one (I'm hoping there's a version in the Motown vaults somehwere).
