That is why I did not list that one but The Reaper sure is appropriate for Halloween. My band plays The Reaper. Great song! The Joan Crawford video has the vampire theme to it though.

Ah, yes, UB40, the masters of the reggae infused remakes. They have made a career out of doing hit covers. Red, Red Wine was a Neil Diamond song but UB40 used this version by Tony Tribe as their influence for their rendition.
