Freaks Come Out at Night

When I first arrived in Elmwood last night, a local resident just finished setting up their front porch DJ booth in Columbia’s best Halloween neighborhood. The first song of the evening, “Freaks Come Out at Night,” by Whodini - one of my favorite holiday tunes.

Admittedly though, my 2013 Halloween playlist from my career as a bartender, kicks off with “Haunted House of Rock,” by Whodini.
