Michael Hurley’s _Werewolf_ is pretty strange–[here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yLgAEpOsek), by the Holy Modal Rounders. Most of Dr John’s _Gris Gris_ album will raise goosebumps. Hey, this cut from [Sun, Moon & Herbs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhOqtCuP1yQ) has that feeling, too. Add some selections by [Roky Erickson](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4-RuB2485s&p=6FF68ED74F122B71&playnext=1&index=17). ---

Eh… Ok, I’ll allow it because Addams Family brought us Christina Ricci (and I know she was in movies before that, but that’s not the point). You get some candy corn and 6 pennies. ---

There is some serious hoodoo going around on Gris Gris—I Walk On Guilded Splinters is a dark, eerie, foreboding song, and apparently there were some pretty unsavory things going on in the studio as it was being recorded… ---
