The famous Bobby Pickett Halloween tune.
 
We tried to take this classic in a slightly different direction - I think we did. We certainly had a good time recording this one - I hope it shows.
 
Warren Willingham - vocals and bass guitar
Bill Davies - did all of synthesized crazy sounds
Mark Cline - I did the arrangement - the guitars and mixed this one
 
Happy Halloween all - thanks for taking a listen.

ha, the bubbling at the beginning made me want a Lager.
LOL
 
i've always loved this song.....
but this is a fun version,
and i really dig that high synth line over the top of the first verse.....and over the chorus
guitar solo is so full of attitude....
 
and i love the swagger of the rhythm section..... it's super laid back,
but moving foward, like a frikin' frankenstein.
nice job!
 
 
 

EXCELLENT CHAPS

Thanks guys - we certainly had fun with this one.

Nice take on this classic. Is kinda a rocky/blues beach boys style. :) 

Hey, Mark,
 
WOW!  Excellent work on this cool, stylized cover of the old Halloween classic!
 
It's always great to hear you, Warren and Bill again, and I think you guys have another Pugtones classic here.
 
Great vocals and harmonies, nice, driving bass and drums, cool sound effects/keys and I love the gritty guitar tone and playing.
 
Nice job, guys, it looks like we've got another annual Halloween tradition here on the forum!
 
Have a good one!
Bob

Just when you thought this song had been through all its variations ... this is a refreshing approach (must be the lager bubbling through it). Backing vocals have the right attitude too! Great work, fun mix.

thanks gus, bob and jerry.

I have to admit that the boiling threw me of briefly, then I realized it was likely a caldron.....I love the twist that you put on this one. Excellent mix! 

 Always great hearing Warren's well seasoned take of an old classic. Cool playing and production.  I enjoyed
