My Fear-vorite Things!

Woman Who Came Back02

With All Hallows Eve just a day away, I thought I’d reverse the bitter tone of last week’s post and embrace my inner MonsterKid… and talk about the things that put the Happy back in Happy Halloween. Better than talking, I’m going to sing about them, to the tune of that immortal Richard Rogers classic of undying gratitude… [Click the "play" button" below and let's pump this jam.]

Boris and Bela

Neck bolts on Boris, a hunched back on Bela

Vampire fangs on a girl or a fella

A linen-wrapped dude from the Valley of Kings

These are a few of my fear-vorite things!

Castles on mountains with dungeons and towers

Boneyards with far more grave robbers than flowers

Silver-haired monsters who melt into springs

These are a few of my fear-vorite things!

When the wolf bites

When Doc F sings

I stop feeling bad

By simply rememb’ring my fear-vorite things

I feel so mon-strous-ly glaaaaaaaaaaaad!

HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!

Very clever! But the music doesn’t set the right tone. You needed a version done by “The Crypt-Kicker Five.”

Happy Halloween!

But they were a vocal group! I need the ragged riffs of The Coffin Bangers!

I liked the music. It was way better than “Strange Pursuit” from “The Hideous Sun Demon”.

This is fabulous! I’m sorry I got to it a day late, but there’s never a wrong time for Rogers & Hammerstein…or Hammer & Frankenstein.

You’ve been making me laugh for over 30 years.

What a cool song to celebrate the spooky side of life! Reminds me of something from the Dr. Demento radio program — a Peter Lorre-style singer rhapsodizing about “Old creaking doors and rattling chains, digging up bodies and removing their brains, thumbscrews and racks and, of course, guillotines, these are a few of my favorite things!”

Especially welcome was the pic from “Fiend Without a Face,” which was one of the most creative movie monsters I ever saw (as well as a great creepy flick that Turner should play now and then instead of endless replays of “Gold Diggers of 19-whatever-it-is).
