Halloween Radio 2008
For you folks who’ve noticed the Halloween Radio 107.1 FM sign out front but aren’t able to stop and listen – I’ve added the play list in a widget on the right sidebar. The play list has all the promos for the haunt in them too exactly as it would be if you sat and listened to it. Yeah I have the lights blinking to the music with kind of a poor-man’s light show 
You’ll notice a promo for the haunt every two songs, which is excessive, but I figured no one would sit here listen for more than 1 or 2 songs. Enjoy.
You’ll have to hit play to get it to start. The first mp3 in the list is a rather long promo with the Halloween Radio host – The Ghost Host – and his studio being overthrown by King Oberon, High King of the Faerie Realm. So yeah, Oberon has a bad Scottish accent, but the gist is that he and the other Fae (Faeries like goblins, gnomes, trolls, dryads, and pixie folk) are here looking for their lost comrade Azreal, the reaper that was stolen from our porch last year.
Here’s the Play List:
1. Goo Goo Muck
2. I Put a Spell on You – Bette Midler from the movie Hocus Pocus
3. Weird Science
4. Don’t Fear the Reaper 
5. The Martian Hop
6. Bark At The Moon
7. The Addams Family 
8. Red Right Hand
9. Bad Moon Rising
10. RE: Your Brains – Jonathan Coulton
11. Dead Man’s Party
12. Run Through The Jungle
13. Creepy Doll – Jonathan Coulton
14. Hell
15. This is Halloween – from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas
16. The Munsters 
I may add a couple more if time permits. Mostly this is just a bit of self-indulgence because I’m not really sure how many people can really receive it and/or will park and listen.
Also, as another bit of my own personal self-indulgence I plan to play some old time radio shows on Saturday nights like the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and the original War of the Worlds radio broadcast. Why? Because it makes me feel good to think of them going out on the air again even if only for a few hundred feet. I used to love to listen to old time radio when I was a kid and it has played a part in who I am today and my love of Halloween, horror, fantasy, and all things spooky and weird.
I’ll post them up too as I get them ready so you can listen and download them from here. They’re public domain now so feel free to take them when I put them up and do whatever you want with them. Heck, pass them around so they’ll live forever. Why not even burn them to CD and make your kids listen to them some night when they’re whining about being bored? Imagination is a wonderful thing that is lacking in the younger generation and OTR is just the ticket to get the dust and cobwebs off their brain cells. There’s nothing like making the pictures up in one’s head to a story you’re hearing or reading to really get the old gray matter sitting idle in most kid’s skulls jump started with creativity.
