I remember tuning into big band/jazz/oldies station WEW on Halloween 1996 and hearing the swingin' sound of...Alice Cooper. In the spirit of the holiday, the DJ was playing Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare." Earlier that day, the morning host had turned the first hour of his shift over to his "vampire brother who somehow got into the studio." (Actually, it was the host himself, assuming the role of a vampire.)
If I'd been on the air then, I probably would have done something subtler to mark the holiday, such as playing Martin Denny's "Quiet Village" and Bob McFadden & Dor's "Mummy." Looking back, though, I say, Good for those two DJs...Why not? It's once a year, after all.
