Wake up you sleepy head, rub your eyes get out of bed

This ISN'T oh you pretty things, but I bet that's all you can think if now witchy cackle

40s, so not exactly in our era.

In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you

80s

Love it Honeyroar you look fab!

One for the theme...

👻🦇I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

Monster mash, flea 🧙‍♀️🧹👻⚰💀

Rocking the Halloween look @Honeyroar 🎃🕸👻😱😍

80s on the theme..

She had an horror of rooms, she was tired, you can't hide beat
When I looked in her eyes, they were blue but nobody home

@shinynewapple2020

Oh sorry it was @midgebabe not Fleamaker

Yes to Meatloaf @FlouncerInDenial

You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed

1960s

@Fleamaker123 and @Honeyroar, thank you for not thinking I’m a Babs 😘.

You hear him howling round your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night

1970s

@FlouncerInDenial your 80s one Phantom of the Opera

Here’s a little Halloween selection.

Disclaimer: I have not had a chance to catch up on the thread so I might have duplicated songs already posted!

90s
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe

00s
Why would you speak to me that way?
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction, dripping with disdain

80s
Well, I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there

80s
Listen to me, listen to me, baby. Listen, baby, help me,
baby! Help me, help me! Listen to me, talk to me!

70s
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair

70s
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box

70s
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I'm the replacement for your part.

Originally 60s, then covered (and a hit, I think) in the 80s:
I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs
When I know there's no-one there

@shinynewapple2020 - Warren Zevon, Werewolves of London. just posted it myself

@FlouncerInDenial yes to Thriller - had to be done 😁

Don't get strung out
By the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But by night, I'm one hell of a lover
1980s

It IS! Song? It's on theme

Sweet transvestite from Rocky horror.

The entrance (pnwrrr) of Dr Frank N Furter

Yes to Sweet Transvestite 😊👍

I think the line was spoken by the good witch but can't remember at what point (you saying 1940s gave away the film)

If you're seeing things
Running through your head
Who can you call?
1980s

Ghostbusters!

@FlouncingBabooshka Yex 😁

Thirteen month old baby,
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck,
The good things in your past
1970s
