The Rhythm Coffin - Monster on My Back
This six-song EP is bookended by two versions of the perennial spooky favorite "The Monster Mash," the first being a cool version featuring monster growls and unhinged cackling along with guest vocals from Davey Suicide and Calico Cooper, who as Alice Cooper's daughter knows a little something about music and novelty horror. "Monster on My Back" is an eerie psychobilly romp, "Sleep When I'm Dead" has a rhythmic bounce that makes it a fun singalong and "Spooktacular Season's Greetings" looks forward to when all the good little ghosties and ghoulies get presents on "creepy Christmas" (best wishes for a haunted Hanukkah and kooky Kwanza are issued too.) This set of totally campy songs will bring listeners a smile any time of year.

AFI - All Hallow's E.P.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of its original release, All Hallow's E.P. is being rereleased on Oct. 25 as a 10" picture disc with the original Alan Forbes cover art on Side A and a happy jack-o-lantern on Side B. The E.P. holds four songs; the ominous "Fall Children," the seasonal anthem that is "Halloween," the speedy thrash of "The Boy Who Destroyed the World" and the punk rock perfection of "Totalimmortal." Only 5000 copies of this collectible will be available.
