It's Spooky is a collaborative album by musicians Jad Fair (of the band Half Japanese) and Daniel Johnston.

Both Johnston and Fair play the majority of instruments, including vocals, guitars, piano, keyboards and drums.

[7] Fair had wanted to work on the project for a more extended period to smooth things out, but Johnston insisted that they finish it by the time he left town.

[8] The album contains material co-written by Johnston and Fair as well as solo compositions by both and covers of Rodgers/Hammerstein, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Phil Ochs, and Glass Eye.

[10] Shorter versions of the bonus tracks "Caspar The Friendly Ghost" and "Get Yourself Together" had both also been demoed in 1983, on Johnston's Yip/Jump Music and Hi How Are You tapes, respectively.

An excerpt from the Jad Fair assisted version of Casper recorded in 1988 earlier appeared on Johnston's Merry Christmas album.

He had not been taking his medication at the time and, during an episode, caused an old woman to jump out of her second-story window while attempting to "cast out her demons."

[4] Fair and Johnston originally wanted the project to be released as a double album,[6] but it was ultimately cut down to a single LP.

[11] It was also released as a CD and a cassette, with four additional bonus tracks, including the full re-recording of "Casper" previously featured on Merry Christmas.

[15] For its 30th anniversary, the album was re-released by Joyful Noise Recordings, who put out a vinyl box set version which featured "Ashes On The Ground" as a bonus track, as well as a Flexi-Disc of "I Live My Broken Dreams".
