Spooky Favorites

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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

5 out of 5 stars Great Kids Halloween CD.......2007-01-04

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.

4 out of 5 stars Great collection of songs for Halloween.......2005-10-14

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.

5 out of 5 stars My child loves this CD!.......2003-10-19

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.

1 out of 5 stars SCARY!!!.......2003-09-25

This cd is too *#@%# scary for me and I'm 38 years old!! If you are really into scaring kids, this will do the trick.

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed.......2002-10-25

The reviews for this CD were misleading as the CD is not appropriate for 3 year old children. There are only one or two songs near the end of the CD that would not be scary for this age group. Most of the songs had howling and haunted house-like sounds that would be scary the average pre-schooler. None of the songs on the CD had the whimsical feel that would be fun and enjoyable for this age group. I would recommend saving your money and purchasing a Pooh Halloween CD.
