FNIMN: They Won’t Stay Dead! 05

I suspect that the theme for this episode of Friday Night Is Music Night is a bit obvious by now. Contributions this week come from The Reverend Beat Man (with a charming little ditty featuring, perhaps, the most famous zombie to ever break out of a tomb), The Spectres, Girlschool, The Meteors, Bobby "Boris" Picket & The Crypt-Kickers (though not the song you were no doubt expecting), and The Krewmen.

As ever, feel free to add your own ideas in comments.

They Won’t Stay Dead! 04

The first of tonight's Halloween offerings comes from The Guana Batz, while the second is a more metaphorical take on the subject from The Horrorpops.

Don't forget, Gentle Reader, that tomorrow night's will also be a Friday Night Is Music Night post; which would never be complete without suggestions from your good selves. For now though, I have to go. I need to exhume the body of Screamin' Lord Sutch at precisely midnight, for use in a ritual best left undescribed…

Halloween Hullabaloo: Goin’ Psycho

Okey-dokey, then. It's Halloween. Six numbers from me, of an unashamedly psychobilly bent. Feel free to add your own ghoulish examples, from any genre, in comments.

Halloween Hullabaloo Nine: Sugar Muffin Is A Werewolf

And so to the last of this year's Halloween posts. Three songs tonight, all by bands I know next to nothing about, performing songs with a kind of schlock Hammer House Of Horror theme.

First off is Kitty In A Casket, with Bride Of The Monster. This band seem to have appeared since I sort of drifted away from the scene, so I only know them from having seem them on various YouTube videos. Good stuff, though!

And now for Bristol (UK) band, the Kings Of Outer Space, with Sugar Muffin Is A Werewolf, which I simply had to include, if only 'cause that way I get to nick the title for this post…

Halloween Hullabaloo Eight: Graveyard Songs And Demented Monsters

Blimey, Halloween's almost upon us and it's days since I posted a Halloween Hullabaloo video. So here's two. (In my defence, Cannonball Jones, who came up with the whole idea, has been less than regular with his posts, too—though he caught up some today—so I'm in good company!)

Halloween Hullabaloo Seven: Prisoner Of The Night

This one's a number by Thee Flatliners, a band of whom I know virtually nothing, except that they're Austrian, entitled Prisoner Of The Night. Great song, though!

Halloween Hullabaloo Six: The Scunthorpe Problem

I think I missed a day of this. Oh well.

Anyways, here's a bit of a silly one. The Toy Dolls, with their typically idiosyncratic version of Charlie Daniels' The Devil Went Down To Georgia Scunthorpe.
