The Gothic Archies - The World Is A Very Scary Place

[SlangForEyesores]

This song is at the top of my parenthood playlist (second only to "Smile! No one cares how you feel" :D)

[linusspacehead11]

[Elfosng]

what the hell is the pitbull....

[TheZoltanX]

Great song. I came to it casually. Now this music will be part of me as well.

Stephen Merrit + Daniel Handler = The greatest band ever.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

HOLY SHIT I HADNT HEARD THESE SONGS SINCE THE SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS AUDIO BOOKS WHAT THE HELL WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE

[CzechDetectingChap]

Well, I think it's cute that kids used to dress up as cats and dogs and KKK and witches. These days kids, if they're allowed out for Halloween at all, all have the same Made In China plastic shit with Disney stamped all over it. I mean, if my niece is gonna dress up as Snow White, can't she do it with some normal gear, instead of having the licenced, approved by Mickey Mouse plastic Chinese tarp? Fuck that! At 13, I went as the UNABOMBER! Ahh, the memories fade, but the Unabomber costume didn't!

@CzechDetectingChap I don't trick or treat, because I live in Australia, but I guarantee, if I ever do trick or treat, I will buy some red velvet, stockings, and an old fashioned dress and go as Esther Coleman.

[CzechDetectingChap]

@Brianna10million Damn, I'd be scared of that for sure. She actually sounds like a girl I went to school with in England. If the commercial giant known as Halloween comes to Australia ( I was there in October 1999, didn't see a sign of it) let me know, there are things to be learned....

Thank you...yes...I don't think anything comes close in our era that matches the creepy/fun factor of vintage Halloween costumes. Glad you enjoyed it!
