The Renaissance Festival Podcast's annual Spooky Halloween Podcast Show went online last Wednesday.  It's an extra long, fun show with lots of great spooky music.  (FYI.  The show is rated PG-13.)

I think my favorite thing about Halloween is the pumpkins.  Admittedly, I've never been a great pumpkin carver.  Rather, I just love the pumpkin seeds.

That said, we carved up our pumpkins for the year.  The incredible wolf on the left is my wife's.  Gwen's aunt carved the one that to me looks like one of the puppets from Sid and Marty Krofft.  Mine is the more gruesome, fangy creature on the far right.

I don't know that I have a whole lot of Halloween songs, per se.  But I have recorded a few songs that could fit the bill.  Most notably is my album Happy Songs of Death.  With 13 songs about death and the people who love it, you could almost call it a Celtic Halloween CD.  Or there's the Brobdingnagian Bards' CD Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales which is currently on sale here at the Celtic Music CD Store.  It features a fun recording of “Monster Mash”.

However, I did write one song specifically for Halloween.  It's “A Rabbit for Halloween“.  The song was inspired by Witch Hazel from the Bugs Bunny episode “Broom-stick Bunny”.  I released it on What Color Is Your Dragon? many years ago.  That album is a Gunn Runner favorite.

Whatever your Halloween musical flavor is, I hope you have a Happy Halloween!
