  • "Halloween" by Dave Matthews was written about his old girlfriend, Julia Grey.
  • Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is one of the most requested songs for Halloween parties.
  • The best Halloween song, "Monster Mash" is based on the Mashed Potato dance craze.
The Flaming Lips visited a casino, Barbary Coast, looking like Halloween spooks because they never washed their dyed black clothes, which rubbed off, turning their skin grey. One doorman said, "Look, it's Halloween at the Barbary Coast."
