I’m sure we all have our ideas on how to celebrate Halloween at a square dance. There are lots of singing calls: “Monster Mash,” “Monster’s Holiday,” “Ghostbusters” (see a more complete list at Dosado.com.

Here’s a silly call: Spook ‘Em. This is a writeup I did, with an emphasis on Challenge concepts; however, there are lots of ways to play with the call at MS and Plus.

At our Wilde Bunch party, we did a tip in the dark.

I use a CD of scary sound effects. In between tips, I’ll play Halloween silly songs (The Blob, the original Monster Mash, etc.).
