I have been on a search for a great Rockabilly or 50's era Halloween CD. I love songs like, 'Vampira', 'Rigormortis', 'Screamin' Ball', etc. If you know of a great compilation, I'd love to know! Also, if you have any song suggestions, please pass them along!

Not sure about a compilation cd containing Halloween-only Rockabilly, but some suggestions:
Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures has a rockabilly cd (self-titled, 2009 release) that definitely could be considered in the style of the 50s and all of the songs are appropriate for Halloween.
Project 1950 by The Misfits - a little harder-edged take on quite a few lovely 1950s hits.
I have a boxed set called Rockin Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly
It isn't all Halloween themed, but the following songs are:
Rock-n-bones by Elroy Dietzel
Rockin' Bones -Ronnie Dawson (same song as above, but a young tenor singing)
One Night of Sin - Elvis Presley
Sinners - Freddie and the Hitchhikers
Rockin' In The Graveyard - Jackie Morningstar
Black Cadillac - Joyce Green
She's My Witch - Kip Tyler
Swamp Girl - Tommy Bell
Real Gone Daddy - Jim Flaherty's Caravan
Flyin' Saucers Rock 'n' Roll - Billy Riley
I'd also suggest you check out the genre of Psychobilly - lots of artists and groups have the 1950s sound with horror or spooky themes. My favorites are the HorrorPops, Tiger Army and Necromantix and most of their songs are perfect for Halloween themed whatever.

Hi all
Just went looking for Rockin Bones: 1950s Punk & Rockabilly on Amazon. They want $59.00 new and about $ 41.00 used. It said there was a MP3 version, but when I clicked it I got something else. The something else was even cooler.
Album called Rockin Bones. It has some great tracks. Here is link
Amazon.com: Rockin Bones: Various Artists: MP3 Downloads
It felt like a cool treasure hunt discovery to find this. Later all

Maybe this seems obvious but, have you looked at music by "Squirrel Nut Zippers" and "Devil Doll?"

Do you have "These Ghoulish Things" (50s tunes), "Do-Wop Halloween", or "Haunted Jukebox"?
I can make you copies if you like....
