THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...STREAMING FROM THE CASTLE EAST! This fan-made 1973 video for "The Monster Mash" is today's must-see clip (natch), though you can also see Bobby "Boris" Pickett perform it live at Little Steven's Halloween a Go-Go 2005. The covers by The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and The Misfits are pretty good also -- the latter uses clips from the Rankin-Bass animated classic, Mad Monster Party.

THE SHAGGS: It's Halloween!

JOHN ZACHERLE has a Halloween album streaming via Spinner.

JIM CARROLL (deceased) sings about "People Who Died."

KISS got their first television exposure in 1976 on The Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

THE TEN BEST HALLOWEEN SONGS, with embedded audio, according to the AOL Radio Blog.  (There's also a click-through to AOL's Halloween radio channel.)

SCREAMING FEMALES get a feature plus tracks from NPR's The Record blog. They also did two or three free songs for Daytrotter.

AQUARIUM DRUNKARD has a Halloween mixtape compiled by Mondo Boys.

HALLOWEEN A/V: PopMatters' streaming Halloween videos and audio, from Bauhaus to to Stevie Wonder to Cream to The Cramps... has taken numerous hits from the lawyers since 2008, including the Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer,"  Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising," Santana's "Black Magic Woman", The Ramones' "Pet Sematary"  and Tegan & Sara's "Walking With a Ghost." But there are still some gems there; including Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

WARREN ZEVON is on that PopMatters list, but I prefer a live trifecta of "Werewolves of London," "Excitable Boy" and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner."

HALLOWEEN ROCK COSTUMES: Artist Direct has a Top 13 list, while the Village Voice goes more obscure.

HENRI MANCINI: "Experiment in Terror." A sentimental favorite to those who grew up watching "Creature Features" on WGN before it went superstation.

"DO THEY KNOW IT'S HALLOWEEN?" is the all-star charity send-up of Band-Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" featuring Roky Erikson, Elvira, plus members from Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth, Smoosh, Rilo Kiley, Sparks and many more.

TRICK OR TREAT BIN:  From the obligatory Bobby "Boris" Pickett to the Beatles, from the Count 5 to the Postmarks, from Roky Erickson to She & Him, plus Jellyfish, Ash, the Sonics, Robyn Hitchcock, Ozzy Osbourne and more -- this Friday's fortuitous finds are streaming from the Pate page at the ol' HM.

THE TIME WARP:  Let's do it again.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide release is Saw 3-D, which shockingly was not screened for critics.  Conviction goes to 500+ screens scoring 65 percent on the ol Tomatometer.

"THRILLER": The original 13-minute Jacko classic, plus the filipino prisoners.

BRUCE CAMPBELL will be officiating a zombie wedding in Seattle on Halloween.

IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, in its entirety, Charlie Brown.  Every year, the bootleg video rises from the Internet patch.
