I posted something similar last year, but this song always makes me smile and always gets Dr. Z in the mood for Halloween!
It's - by the way - based on Camille Saint-Saens Danse Macabre Opus 40, one of my favorite classical works.
I remember having this version on a 33rpm album as a child and playing it year round. It makes me smile with nostalgia. It reminds me of the smell of jack-o-lanterns burned by candle, candy corn, Halloween parties at Memorial Park Elementary, and the house I grew up in festooned with classic Biestle decorations. It reminds me of highly flammable plastic costumes with plastic masks and elastic straps that held them on. It reminds me of trick or treating and the crunch of falling leaves as I trudged from house to house in the cold and dark of a late October Halloween night.
And this video version is like a visual reflection of all of those memories.
It's artsy and cool and pleases Doctor Zombie very much!
Enjoy!

Here's another great one. Kinda of a copy-cat, but still cool circa 1937 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXkQSiJG7fk&feature=related
