Happy Halloween! Have some festive ghosts singing one of my favorite songs from Ruddigore.

(Favorite things here: all the ancestors dancing with skeletons in the background, Robin’s look of disgust when Roderic kisses the skull, and that one ancestor who apparently had a bust made instead of a portrait. This Ruddigore [full version here, I think?] is full of delightfully low-budget special effects and inexplicable staging choices and I love it. Also features Vincent Price as Sir Despard, some endearingly bad greenscreening, and an entire chorus of gentlemen on very strange bicycles.)
