The Blob!
To help us all get into the Halloween spirit, here's a swingin' track from the ingenious brain of Mr. Burt Bacharach. This was the title song on the soundtrack to the 1958 horror film The Blob (which was also Steve McQueen's first starring role!). It's hard to imagine such an outright goofy song being used to open a horror film, but one listen and it's stuck in your head. Vintage Bacharach! Great Mack David lyrics too: "It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor /right through the door, and all around the wall / a splotch, a blotch, be careful of the Blob!"
