It's on Nimbus Records - which I think may have gone under.

I haven't been able to find anything else with this sort of collection of vintage Halloween songs. Rare indeed.

Okay, now there are like 4 of these on Amazon in the "buy new/ used" section of this listing. The lowest price one is $12.99, and the rest go up from there. If you are interested in this collection, I would get over there soon.

Sigh. I wish current Halloween music collections and song writers would learn from the sound of these great tracks...!

Also check out Halloween Stomp if you can find it (also out of print):
1. Haunted House
2. Shivery Stomp - Gil Evans
3. Mysterious Mose - Peggy Lee
4. Boogy Man Is Here - The Orchestra
5. Haunting Blues - Charlie Barnet
6. Bug-A-Boo - Peggy Lee
7. Got the Jitters - The Orchestra
8. Boogie Man - Charlie Barnet
9. House Is Haunted (By the Echo of Your Last Goodbye) - Peggy Lee
10. Zombie
11. Mr. Ghost Goes to Town - Louis Prima
12. Skeleton in the Closet - Pee Wee Russell
13. Goblin Band - The Georgians
14. Hell's Bells - Nat Gonella
15. With Her Head Tucked Under Her Arm - Casa Loma Orchestra
16. Black Cat
17. Strange Enchantment
18. Ghost of Smokey Joe - Rudy Vallée
19. Ol' Man Mose Ain't Dead - Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra
20. Swingin' at the Seance
21. Fanfare/Cherokee (Theme) - King Cole Trio
22. Old Man Mose Is Dead - Frankie Trumbauer
23. Pompton Turnpike - Glenn Miller Orchestra
24. Redskin Rhumba - Charlie Barnet
25. Haunted Heart - Peggy Lee
26. Headless Horseman - The Orchestra
27. Dry Bones (Head Bone Connected to the Neck Bone) - Charlie Barnet


I didn't stop there since I was especially obsessed with the 20's and 30's sound. On Napster I was also able to find:

Heebie Jeebies by Louis Armstrong
Jumpin Pumpkins and Haunted Nights by Duke Ellington
Chaing Gang by Bob Crosby
That Old Black Magic by Dizzie Gillespie

The list can go on if you've got the time to wade throught he muck of the past 80 years. I found the above searching by the names of the above groups, suggested similar groups, or by Halloween words like Pumpkin, Haunted, etc...

Good Luck..!!!!

speaking of Nimbus records I just got one from Ebay for $5.00 that is Basil rathbone reading Edgar Alan Poe.

So you may want to check ebay also for the "Haunted House" album.

Nimbus records are still a functioning company, but mainly do classical music, I e-mailed them about the 1920s music but no pesponse.
