There's nothing quite like remembering the Dead (or possibly the Un-Dead) to get the party started on Halloween - All Hallow's Eve, as 31st October was originally referred to in early Christendom - and the 50 tracks on this 2CD collection will not just help accomplish that ghoulish task with ease, it will relish in its ability to transform the 'normal' in all of us into the very epitome of things spooky!
So at this year's celebrations get down and do the 'Zombie Jamboree' while bobbing for an apple, attempt the 'Monster Bop' with your pumpkin, and be sure to go for a little trick or treating at the 'Screaming Ball (in Dracula Hall)'.
