Halloween is a time of frighteningly good fun and here at last, is an album truly captures that spirit.  Halloween’s origins began with the Celtic Pagan Festival of Samhain which marks the end of the Summer/Harvest time – a time of the year when in folklore, Spirits were particularly active. The Pumpkin (Jack-o-Lanterns) as well as ‘Trick or Treating’, harks back to the Irish/British traditions of carving faces in root vegetables and children travelling from house to house performing treats. The Viper Label has delved into the past and unearthed, some of the finest musical testaments to the supernatural whether it be  Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jazz or Doo-Wop, to make your Halloween party swing with blood curdling thrilling delight. This is the first time that these unique recordings have been put together for your enjoyment. The essential Halloween album.
