Halloween is a little over a week away as I create this poll so I thought that I would come up with something Spooky. A much shorter poll than my usual theme polls. https://open.spotify.com/track/5t4rOCkHklJOo382x01YX9?si=113816d8624b4053" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/track/5t4rOCkHklJOo382x01YX9?si=113816d8624b4053 https://cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-think-im-spooky" rel="nofollow - Do You Think I'm Spooky? | Far Corner | Cuneiform Records (bandcamp.com) Since there are only five songs, it would be silly to have you vote for your three favorites, so pick your favorite, but tell us what it is and if you like any of the other songs. -------------

| The GG song is the only one I'm familiar with so I'll have to listen to the others. |

Mahogany Frog. New and very pleasant acquaintance to me. Will have to check them out properly. Gentle Giant video was fun. Does anyone recognize all the film bits in it? Quite a few were from Carnival of Souls and many others seemed familiar as well. The Halloween Song for me is Type O Negative - Black No.1.

| The entire Tales Of Mistery And Imagination of Alan Parsons counts as spooky, I figure. |

Hi, I missed it, but I really think the title is the only thing in it that is Halloween related. Same for the band MESSAGE, and their album "From Books and Dreams". I was trying to find some Italian stuff, but the best I could come up with was PFM's "Is my Face On Straight", but I am not sure that it is more of a satire, than it would be a Halloween party! There are a lot of things written about Faust as well. I, intentionally, left GOBLIN behind, even though I have about 7 or 8 of their albums ... all soundtracks, and I still think that it is some nice stuff, but so little of it was used properly in so many films. Some Hollywood stuff fits nicely ... "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" had fantastic music in it, but I ended up hogtied trying to mention some of those things. The Stalker ... with Artemyev electronic stuff ... is downright spooky!

Dusty Springfield - Spooky & Spooky Mormon Hell Dream from Book of Mormon -but in the poll, I really like both the Far Corner and Mahogany Frog-tunes, but I've always loved Spooky Boogie

Of these Mahogany Frog, Gentle Giant and Far Corner are the most interesting to my ears. GG is nice and fun, but pales a bit next to these wonderful tracks by the other two. Never heard of Mahogany Frog before and this will definitely incite me to explore more of this band, but my vote goes to Far Corner's Do You Think I'm Spooky? ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Kind of "spooky" how many of you missed the theme of the poll and chose songs without the word "spooky" in it. LOL. Anyhow, one of my favorite recent bands, Pattern-Seeking Animals just released "Spooky Action at a Distance". No songs with "spooky" in the title, so no real relevance to this poll, but made me chuckle anyhow. My favorite from this group was Far Corner's Do You Think I'm Spooky? -------------
