Spooky, Scary Skeletons

[6] "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" was one of nine original songs on the album Halloween Howls, released, according to Gold on his 1996 liner notes, to fill a void of availability of fun and scary Halloween original songs.

They paired the song with the 1929 animated short film The Skeleton Dance by Ub Iwerks.

[2] "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" has since become an Internet meme, with its origins in YouTube gaming culture.

[2] Intelligencer's Brian Feldman called the Living Tombstone's remix "probably the most well-known version of the song".

[2] This remix further propelled the song's status as an Internet meme; both the original song and the Living Tombstone remix are often paired with such visuals as The Skeleton Dance and a video of a man dancing while wearing a pumpkin head and a black unitard, the latter being from a mid-2000s broadcast on local news station KXVO in Omaha, Nebraska.

[22] A cover of the song by LvCrft was used by Freeform to promote their "31 Nights of Halloween" programming block in both 2020 and in 2021.

The song is often paired with clips of the 1929 animated short film, The Skeleton Dance .
