Description: A childhood Halloween record, a classroom full of children learning to spell Halloween, and a song that's still delighting a new generation more than fifty years later! Today, Meghan introduces Lyle to one of her most treasured childhood Halloween memories: Kay Lande and Wade Denning's 1969 album Halloween: Games, Songs and Stories. From its wonderfully spooky sound effects and memorable children's voices to the music teacher who introduced Meghan to “Halloween Macabre,” we're exploring the history behind this charming collection of Halloween songs, stories and games. We'll also discover how these recordings found new life through the 2012 Golden Records Spooky Halloween Hits compilation, explore the origins of some of its additional songs, and find out what Lyle makes of it all as a first-time listener. And perhaps best of all, Meghan's three-year-old son is now learning to spell Halloween with the very same song that taught her all those years ago! 6 days until Halloween!
