If you want to scare the pants off your 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds, but then make them merrily sing along, this Halloween collection could be for you. A generous 18 tracks deep, Spooky Favorites covers the familiar creepy-crawly terrain of "Cockles and Mussels," "Spider on the Floor," and "There Was an Old Woman" with all the right affects. Favorites also trades in Christmas tunes, reworking "The 12 Days of Christmas" as "12 Days of Halloween," while "Green Gremlins" reprises the "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" theme in a halting tempo with a tasty rock guitar solo. And in another ironic twist, the players turn "Bring Back My Bonney" into "Bring Back My Neighbors to Me" and rewrite "If You're Happy and You Know It" as "You're Scary and You Know It." Highly theatrical and leaning on a good interplay of English folk melodies and music-hall styles, Spooky Favorites is proof that you can spoof just about any song for Halloween as long as you dress them up real spookylike. --Martin Keller

 Awesome and Original!! October 31, 2008
Alicia M. Coates (Slidell, LA)
I was afraid this would be too scary for my 6-year-old son who is scared of everything, but amazingly, it's not! He absolutely loves it (and so does my 2-year-old, but he's not scared of anything), and it's such a nice change from the typical Halloween CD with "Ghostbusters" and other dreck. Almost all the songs are originals, creative and clever and spooky without being scary. We are kids' music connoisseurs (have a HUGE collection of CD's), and this is one of our favorites!!
It is Spooky September 22, 2007
Taco B. Devries (Hallandale, FL United States)
ad that is what it is supposed to be. And it is done in a original way. My kids (2 resp 3) love it. They think it is funny, scary and Halloweenish. Exactly what it is supposed to be. If you are scary and you know it is an absolute favorite and they know the original by heart, and to hear this song with scary creatures just cracks them up. Yes, do not let you children listen to this alone, sing with them and explain the songs, and enjoy and laugh!!
Great Kids Halloween CD January 4, 2007

My 4 year old son LOVES this CD! He wants to listen to it all the time, even now 3 months after Halloween! The Mean Old Witch is one of his favorite tracks. I have to admit too, that even I enjoy listening to this CD with my son--we sing along and sometimes act out the songs (especially the mean old witch). If your looking for somethign fun to share with your children, try this CD.
Great collection of songs for Halloween October 14, 2005
S. Cole (Boise, ID USA)
I have to add my 2 cents for the scariness of this cd. My 6 year old picked this out and we listened to it in the car on a long road trip. When the cd started my almost 4 year old covered her ears and started whimpering that it scared her. I told her "they were just being silly" so that my 6 year old could still listen to her cd. The 4 year old kept her ears covered for 4 songs all while I was trying to help her see how they were acting scary to be silly. After she had listened to the whole cd once she was not longer scared of it - and in fact now has most of the shorter songs memorized and constantly walks around the house singing "I'm a mean old witch with my hat... Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha". I'm glad I persevered and helped her overcome her fear so we now as a family have a blast singing Halloween songs together throughout the day. Now if you want to avoid any of this whimpering then definitely keep this cd for at least 5 year olds. My 6 year old wasn't scared of the cd at all and she loved how several of the songs have big "Boo"s at the end and other lightly suspensful moments.
My child loves this CD! October 19, 2003
I bought this CD for my son who was 4 at the time and he loves it! We listened to it all year long. Even as a parent I enjoy this CD and find myself sometimes listening to it when I'm in the car alone. My child didn't think it was too scary.
