It’s about Summer turning into Fall and some very bad land.) 55- Mouth (The Stingray Mix) by Bush (This song was on the An American Werewolf In Paris soundtrack from 1997.) 56- Surfin’ Dead by The Cramps (This song was used in the Return of the Living Dead movie from 1985.) 57- Forsaken by David Draiman (Used in the Queen of the Damned movie from 2002. This is a great song about vampires.) 58- The Garden Of Allah by Don Henley 59- Self Control by Laura Branigan 60- Over At The Frankenstein Place by Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Richard O'Brien (Another one from Rocky Horror Picture Show. What a great movie and great music all the way through.) 61- Red Right Hand from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (Heard in the movie Scream from 1996.) 62- Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne (This song is about Aleister Crowley, an influential occultist and magician from the late 1800's and early 1900’s.) 63- Disturbia by Rihanna 64- Feast Of The Mau Mau by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (This song is so strange and weird that it’s good.) 65- Need To Destroy by Thc (Heard this song in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer tv show Season 4, Episode: Wild At Heart.

This is a great version of a very old song.) 70- Marie Lavaux by Bobby Bare 71- Call Of The Zombie by Rob Zombie (A very short, creepy, and catchy rhyme, but would be great in front of a Rob Zombie song.) 72- King Tut by Steve Martin 73- The Boogie Monster by Gnarls Barkley 74- Lil’ Devil by The Cult 75- Time Warp by the cast from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (A lot of different people sang in this movie song.
