"Pumkin the Pumpkin Beanie Baby" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001QEB6/entertainmentsit One of the few non-animal Beanie Babies, Pumkin is now retired, so he's hard to find and highly desirable. "Pooh Dressed as Tigger Animated Figure" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001T469/entertainmentsit It's bouncy, bouncy Tigger! No, wait a minute...

"Halloween" (Collector's Edition) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6305537542/entertainmentsit "Halloween" is as pure and undiluted as its title.

"The Blair Witch Project" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001QGUK/entertainmentsit Anyone who has even the slightest trouble with insomnia after seeing a horror movie should stay away from "The Blair Witch Project"--this film will creep under your skin and stay there for days. "Scream" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6304675348/entertainmentsit When a serial killer starts hacking up their fellow teens, the media-savvy youngsters of "Scream" realize that the smartest way of sticking around for the sequel is to avoid the terminal behaviors that inevitably doom supporting players in the movies. SPOOKY TUNES ************ Wondering where to look for the finest in Halloween sounds? Since it's the kids who get most charged up about All Hallows' Eve, we've picked a few choice children's Halloween music titles. But we know the darker side too, so we've got the best scary soundtracks to set the right mood. And to start the festivities later in the evening, dig into our picks for killer Halloween party music and sound effects. Music MORE MUSIC Whether keeping you dancing till you drop or haunting your house with blood-curdling sounds, Amazon Music spins scary scores, nostalgic howls, and ghoulish grooves.

"The Blair Witch Project: Josh's Blair Witch Mix" Various artists http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JHKV/entertainmentsit The soundtrack for a film with no music? Yes, it's true. "Josh's Blair Witch Mix" takes the high concept of "music inspired by the film" to new extremes: this is the mixed tape found in Josh's car on the fateful night the "documentary" was filmed. "New Wave Halloween: Just Can't Get Enough" Various artists http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000007RQ3/entertainmentsit Most of the set is given over to party-ready tunes like "Devil in My Car" by the B-52's and "Pet Sematary" by the Ramones, but its darker corners offer up a few eerie moments--such as MX-80 Sound's rendition of the horror classic "Theme from Halloween" and Sonic Youth's "Halloween."
