Bewitched spells for the holiday

Samantha always pulled her holidays off without a glitch. Maybe we could learn a spell or two from her.

After seeing all those clips of her talent for getting through the holiday season, I think I’ll treat myself to a holiday episode. Want to join me?

Monster Mash

Bobby Pickett’s original is our favorite version of this Halloween Classic. This is his appearance live on American Bandstand. While I’m 99.5% positive this is a lip synch, he is live and his facial expressions are priceless.
