(I'll do the recipes I promised from the 13 cookbooks in November!
1. “All the vampires walkin through the valley / Move west down Ventura Boulevard” - Tom Petty, Free Fallin’
2. “I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand / Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain / He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's / Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein” - Warren Zevon, Werewolves of London
3. "girl I'm just a jeepster for your love / I said girl I'm just a vampire for your love / I'm gonna suck you” - T-Rex, Jeepster
4. “Vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost / These are the things that terrify me the most / No aliens, psychopath or MTV hosts / Scare me like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost” - Jimmy Buffet, Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost
5. “Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams / But now I know, you're not what you seem. / Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.” - Classics IV, Spooky
6. “From my laboratory in the castle east / To the master bedroom where the vampires feast / The ghouls all came from their humble abodes / To get a jolt from my electrodes” - Bobby “Boris” Pickett, Monster Mash
7. “She likes the dark / On her milk white neck / The Devil's mark / It's all Hallows Eve / The moon is full / Will she trick or treat / I bet she will” - Type O Neg, Black no. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)
8. If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. - George Bernard Shaw
9. A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night. - J.M. Barrie
10. One need not be a chamber to be haunted; One need not be a house; The brain has corridors surpassing Material place. - Emily Dickinson
11. By the pricking of my thumbs / Something wicked this way comes. - Shakespeare
12. Dreams in which there came the howl of hunting wolves and the cries of goblins.- J.R.R. Tolkien
13. My mind is wrought to a fever by the moonbeam that hangs o'er. - Edgar Allan Poe

I like the quotes best of all, especially the Shaw one, that's great!
I do love me some Tom Petty.
What, no "Moon Over Bourbon Street"? I'm shocked! Especially since you like vampires so. ;)
Creepy! :)
I loved reading Edgar Allen Poe as a teenager, but I hate scary movies and books. Yep, I am a weird one! :)

This is great to get in the real Halloween spirit! You've got a really fun music taste. I've downloaded them just now, and I need to put them on CD. I love the Monster Mash with the bubbling sounds at the beginning.
