Unearthing more than two-dozen Halloween-themed efforts from the golden age of doo-wop,

Doo Wop Halloween Is a Scream takes a concept with extremely limited appeal and executes it

with admirable aplomb. Assuming the mere prospect of this many novelty tunes isn’t enough

to make your blood run cold, the disc is a primer in niche anthologies and reissues, assembling

a staggering number of rare and little-known tracks that fit seamlessly within the disc’s narrow

conceptual scope — who knew so many doo-wop groups of the late 1950s paid tribute to scary

monsters and super creeps?
