Now that's scary. Luckily, GeeDubya has failed in his attempt to get Hollywood scream queen Harriet Miers onto the Supreme Court. Thus ends Miers's bid to sport the high court's most haggard visage since John Marshall Harlan.
The *bitter defeat* Halloween obsession is, again, well documented: from Samhain history to zombies to horror movie polls.
This year, inspired by The Onion AV Club's Definitive Halloween Mix List and the vastly superior, totally free, and easily downloadable Oddio Overplay Halloween Mix, Ghoul's with Attitude, I went into my iPod and compiled a Halloween mix of my own. **UPDATE** There is also a great 70-minute Halloween mix available from the WFMU blog.

Now keep in mind that this list was made using only music that was already on the iPod as of this morning. So let's not hear any "I can't believe you didn't think of..." This was 100% spontaneous listmaking. Of course I thought of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" and "Ghost Town." Duh. Here's the full playlist:

Hells Bells - AC/DC
Human Fly - Cramps
Halloween - The Misfits
(Ghost) Riders In The Sky - Johnny Cash
Raining Blood - Slayer
Twisted Nerve - Bernard Herrmann
Children Of The Grave - Black Sabbath
Lullaby - The Cure
The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen
Return Of The Fly - The Misfits
“Dying Tickles!” – Ralph Wiggum
Phenomena theme - Goblin
Halloween II - The Misfits
Angel Of Death - Slayer
Boris The Spider - The Who
Highway To Hell - AC/DC

Huh. Who knew I had so much heavy metal? In that spirit, check out this Halloween interview with Slipknot's Corey Taylor. Gotta love bands that help put food on my table. Buy more Roadrunner Records, people! And in case there's no post tomorrow... HAVE A GENUINELY DISTURBING HALLOWEEN!
