Gold assembled a handful of knowns and unknowns to make special cameos on this melodic and fun collection of original and classic Halloween tunes with a pop-rock bent. Among the haunted are David Cassidy, Karla Bonoff, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Bishop, Nicolette Larson, and Gold's children and wife. From the Beatlesesque touches of "It Must Be Halloween" (parts seemingly lifted from "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") to Boris Karloff's "Monster Mash" and "The Addams Family" theme song, Gold and company offer up treats that kids and their parents will like, including the "Ghostbusters" theme. But with cooler original fare like "The Creature from the Tub" and "Spooky, Scary Skeletons," you have to wonder why they relied on so many predictable cover songs. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not was I was looking for ... it's MORE than that!!!, October 9, 2003

By	Gatzpup (United States) - See all my reviews

I wanted a CD to play while the kids were trick or treating at our house this year. After looking in the stores, all I could find were creepy sounds, not songs. This CD is just what I was looking for and then some. I like the fact that the music is original (or at least most of it is). Speaking of that, the ONLY thing I would change would be to take out Ghostbusters (not my fav). The songs are funny, just scary enough, catchy, silly, and entertaining for all ages. Way to go, Andrew Gold!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the BEST Halloween CD EVER!!!, August 6, 2003

By	Kelly Bunting (Canton, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My entire family loves this CD during the crisp fall days while out driving to the cider mill or pumpkin patch! New and exciting songs that you will learn to sing along with very quickly. A Halloween must-have. So many friends have asked "What CD is this?I have to get it for the kids!" We have actually considered getting another copy just in case something happens to ours - we could never be without! My husband and I adore the "Creature from the Tub" - "....icky and sticky, hope it doesn't lick me!"
Wonderful!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It! We're on our 3rd copy., October 12, 2001

By	Donna Wanna Wing Wing (Santa Monica, CA United States) - See all my reviews

We were first introduced to this gem when my daughter was 2. We instantly fell in love. The songs are well chosen, and very well produced, they're not not corny or shoddy. We're on our 3rd copy because we keep giving them to our friends who have fallen in love with it. We HIGHLY recommend this CD.!
