5 on Friday -- Set 194

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

I've just wrapped up my second annual Spooky Stories Author Series here at A Piece of My Mind. In case you're just finding out about them now, here are the links to this year's interviews with authors who write stories that tend toward the spooky side of things:

13 Questions for Stephen MacLean, Screenwriter for Wisp

13 Questions for Sherri Browning Erwin, Author of Jane Slayre and Grave Expectations

13 Questions for Kate Robbins, Author of Bound to the Highlander

13 Questions for Norah Wilson, Co-author of Enter the Night

Thanks to all the writers who shared their shivery tales and favorite scary movies, and who answered my favorite question from this series of interviews: Why do you think people like to be scared?

As we head ever closer to the spookiest night of all, let's enjoy some tunes that have eerie themes or which have videos with a decidedly Halloween feel to them.

1 - Wide Awake - Katy Perry 

2 - What You Waiting For? - Gwen Stefani

3 - Li'l Red Riding Hood -- Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs

4 - I Put a Spell on You - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

5 - Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
