23 Howling Halloween Hits for Kids and Adults

Remember these lyrics:

“When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

“Now don’t close your eyes,
And don’t try to hide.
Or a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise,
They pretend to terrorize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.”

(Music by Buddy Baker and lyrics by F. Xavier Atencio)
~From Disney’s Haunted Mansion, Disneyland, Walt Disney World
