The great thing about RHPS is that it’s not in the least bit scary, yet encompasses so many of the elements that Halloween represents – especially the cross-dressing, which is why I went with this song and not “The Time Warp” (which I understand is available on children’s Halloween records nowadays – how twisted is that, I ask you?).

But we do have the Hungry Ghost Festival, which is fairly close.
