Andrew Gold's Halloween Howls contains just three covers ("Monster Mash," "Ghostbusters," "The Addams Family") and a selection of nine new originals, all cheery songs about ghosts, goblins, haunted houses, witches, skeletons and trick or treaters. It gets a little silly at times, but overall, it's a cheery good time, especially for little kids.
