All Words
Some Word
Entire phrase
At twelve o'clock
you must be ready,
And hold your pumpkin
good and steady,
For by it's rays
of candle light
On Halloween
all things are bright!

Amazing Collection of Antique Halloween Postcards

By M Ryan Taylor on Aug 6, 2008 | In Other Worthy Halloween Sites | Send feedback »

This Flickr collection of Antique Halloween Postcards is simply amazing. Full photos and details numbering over 1300. Many cards here I’ve never seen before in other collections. Honestly, some of these old-time postcards carry some of my favorite Halloween art and have inspired some of my own designs, including Merry Halloween.

- Dracula's Theme Song - Free Sheet Music
  "Dracula's Theme Song" was written to go along with the opening credits of the old Bela Lugosi "Dracula" which uses the famous tune from "Swan Lake." Usually I don't go putting words to famous tunes, but one night I was watching this film last year close to Halloween and 'inspiration' struck. This is completely tongue-in-cheek; I hope it makes you smile as much as I do when singing it. Please be as melodramatic as possible!
- A Classic Halloween Love Song : "Say that we're Sweethearts Again"
  I heard this song recently in a live concert and thought it was hilarious.
- Zombie Jamboree : one of my favorite Halloween songs
  . . . and as far as I know one of the only Calypso style Halloween songs . . .
- I Love Little Bernice
  Little Bernice is a comic about two kids who love Halloween. Unfortunately, the comic stopped running in Happy Halloween Magazine in 2002, but you can read the archives on this page: http://littlebernice.com/comics.html
- Winchell's Donut Halloween Record from the 70s
  OK. This actually had a huge impact on me as a kid. I loved listening to this on Halloween night. My mum and dad had to limit the number of times that we were allowed to listen to it. I think I was about 5.
- 9 Square Monster Search
  This is a simple puzzle game that uses words of 9 letters. The letters from the word are arranged in a square of 9 boxes in word order, but not starting in the first square. You can enjoy these puzzles on your own, or use them in a party game.
- 2008 Halloween Visual Art and Video Contest from ThirteenForHalloween.com
  ThirteenForHalloween.com is holding a Halloween visual art and video contest for individuals ages 5 to 18.
- Dracula’s Theme Song
  If you watch the old Bela Lugosi Dracula you will hear the theme from Swan Lake during the opening credits. I just couldn’t resist the urge one night as I was watching the film to jot down some words to go along with the tune. Now you can sing along next Halloween when you watch it.
- "Welcome," Said the Spider : a Halloween Song
  "Welcome," said the spi-der, "Come right in." . . .
- Three Little Ghostesses : a Halloween Song
  Three little ghostesses sitting on postesses, eating butter'd toastesses, sitting on postesses.
- Skin and Bones : a Halloween Song
  There was an old woman all skin and bones. Ooo-oo-oo-oo! . . .
- Queen Nefertiti : a Halloween Song
  Spin a coin, spin a coin, All fall down; Queen Nefertiti stalks through the town. . . .
- Mactavish is Dead : a Halloween Song
  Oh! Mactavish is dead and his brother don't know it. . . .
On this dread night a magic spell
Broods round about
So if you go out after dark
Why, just watch out!
