Halloween by The Misfits!!!! That song is my yearly ritual on Halloween :) Halloween, the first one, not the send which is done in Latin.

Just do a google search for Misfits Halloween.mp3 I am sure you can find it. I am at work else I would give you the direct link. The lyrics are a little somthing like this:

"bonfires burning bright pumpkin faces in the night i remember halloween dead cats hanging from poles little dead are out in droves i remember halloween brown leaved vertigo where skeletal life is known i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween candy apples and razor blades little dead are soon in graves i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween"

Can't go wrong witha a punk rock song about Samhain, brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it ;)
