A Halloween playlist

Hey! Happy Halloween, everyone! I've been listening to Pandora's Halloween Party genre station all week in preparation for the holiday, and while I like it just fine, it occasionally plays songs for which I do not particularly care. Or, like, 42 different versions of "Monster Mash" within a 30-minute period. Oy.

This inspired me to comb through my collection of digital music and come up with my own darn Halloween playlist for my Not-an-iPod, so I thought I'd post a little sampling from it just for grins. My pre-NaBloPoMo gift to you! Some of these are pretty obvious, and some of them are ... just because I'm weird.
