Wow. This brings me right back to childhood. I was just a kiddo listening to this... every... single...Halloween many of the earliest years of my life. Somehow I randomly thought of it and decided to look for it here. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!
I wish I'd known this book (and it on tape!) when I was a kid! I'm 24 and I am in love with the first two songs here - wanna find a way to add them to my Halloween playlist lol. I'll be sure to share this with my children someday!
Oh My God, I'm back in my childhood. I first heard this when I was in school, I used to hurry to the desk that had a tape player and headphones to hear this. It took me alot of years to find the orginal publishing of this book and waited even longer to find the cassette tape.
I have been looking for a new copy of this cassette for years! I teach second grade and loved sharing this with them until a few years ago when it met its demise by the terrible jaws of death of the tape player. I put the challenge each October for my students to learn and recite the poem "Black Cat". They love it! Now they can hear it again. Thank you SO much for sharing!
wow!!! thank you so much for putting this up. my sister and i use to listen to this every october when we were kids. i still have the cassette. that was over 20 yrs. ago.. omg! happy ealry halloween and i want to give a big shout out to my sister DIONIS!! love u. God bless u.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! This was my VERY favorite halloween book when I was little (and still is) — and I used to listen to this cassette that accompanied it ALL the time (one of my earliest elementary school memories is being scared to death by the sound effects in "Countdown")! This is bringing back so many wonderful childhood Halloween memories. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to make and upload this!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN to one and all!! :D

love this but the turning the page sound totally obstructs the affect of Countdown.
I also love the Goblin.

This is the PERFECT Halloween book. Jack is a genius -- he captures the essence of a child's Halloween.
