Kidz Bop Halloween (by Kidz Bop Kids, Children's Music)

Like a candy bag full of treats, KIDZ BOP HALLOWEEN is filled to the brim with Halloween fun. It combines 16 popular Halloween party tracks with the schoolyard singing of the Kidz Bop singers -- though most songs do feature adult lead vocals, the kids provide backup and add to the harmony. Most of the songs are straight out of pop culture, including the themes from TV shows like Scooby-Doo and The Addams Family and movies like Ghostbusters. Other highlights include "Thriller" and "Werewolves of London."

Parents be forewarned -- the high-pitched voices of the Kidz Bop singers (as well as the sometimes-lame instrumentals) can be a little jarring for audiences over 21, even when they're enthusiastically belting out spooky standards from the last 30 years. But kids should have a grand and ghoulish time listening to this autumnal album. It's a safe, albeit only tepidly exciting, selection for a kid's Halloween party -- tame enough to be kid appropriate but just frightening enough to appeal to school-aged kids.
