Halloweeen Hits: "X-Ray Vision" Moon Martin (1982)

Here's a lost early MTV classic....... 

Indeed upon his release from the aliens, John Denver was never the same again.........

Moon Martin was a journeyman songwriter and scored some hits for others, namely "Bad Case of Loving You" for Robert Palmer in 1979. "Rolene" from his 1979 album Escape From Domination. was his biggest solo hit.  

Halloween Hits: "Something In My House" Dead Or Alive (1987)

From the follow-up album  to their 1985 super-smash Youthquake, which features the '80s party classic "You Spin Me 'Round (Like A Record)" . This album didn't do as well as Youthquake, but it had a few lesser hits on it, including this song and "Brand New Lover"

However, for sheer terror value, NOTHING can top what Dead Or Alive's lead singer Pete Burns has done to his face in the years since.....

Halloween Hits: "The Rockin' Ghost" Archie Bleyer (1956)

Archie Bleyer was the founder of Cadence Records, a semi-major '50s independent record label which scored major hits with The Everly Brothers, The Chordettes ("Mr. Sandman") and a young Andy Williams. This was his biggest solo hit.

Halloween Hits: "Boris The Spider" The Who (1967)

From their 1967 album A Quick One, this song influenced countless death metal bands with Juhn Entwhisle's growl of the song's title in the chorus.

A Quick One was released in the US as Happy Jack.

Halloween Hits: "Return Of The Spiders" Alice Cooper (1970)

From his second album Easy Action, "Return Of The Spiders" is some pretty nice early speed metal......
