Thank you, thank you, thank you for not including "Monster Mash."
Also, I would like to suggest that the apogee of musical accomplishment in 'The Lost Boys' was Timmy Capello's mesmerizing saxophone performance. You may remember him from such roles as Nico, the shirtless, glistening drummer in 'Hearts of Fire'.

"One of tomorrow's hottest singers, Fiona!"...

I can't believe I've never seen that movie, I'm intimately familiar with all kinds of obscure silliness but I may not have even known that one existed. It looks incredible. Dylan just doesn't look right in a snaggle-tooth earring and coiffed like Nick from Family Ties. Now I gotta have a Streets of Fire / Hearts of Fire double feature.

I retired "Monster Mash" this year. Also Beck's "Satan Gave Me A Taco," which may have been a terrible, terrible mistake but I've already used it two or three times.

If you ever want to see Bob Dylan as a chainsaw artist (yes, really) in a movie with Vincent Price, look for a really obscure movie called Backtrack, starring Dennis Hopper and Jodie Foster. I don't think this one ever made it into theaters, but I watched it on cable once. Not very good, though.

he was a helicopter pilot/ chicken farmer in H.o.F., so why not? americanbeetles October 15 2009, 05:38:30 UTC

OH MY GOD BACKTRACK. I think it was also released under a very slightly different title in the UK, like "Backdraft" or "Flashback" or "Flashdance" or something. I have never seen it but would like to, so badly, oh man. (maybe that was when the Dylan/Price morphological convergence first began?)

Anytime. This one came out pretty good, 'specially if you play it in my anal-retentively determined sequence.

I always have to have Classics IV - Spooky on mine.

BOYS BECOMING MEN
MEN BECOMING WOLVES

I bet you could do a mix tape of.....
Halloween - Sonic Youth
Halloween - Mudhoney
Halloween - The Misfits
Halloween pt II - The Misfits
Halloween - Siouxie and the Banshees
Halloween - Dead Kennedys
and, most importantly:
Halloween - Helloween

Yeah, if only Sonic Youth integrated themselves into mix CD's as well as the Misfits do. They do their own thing.

The Flaming Lips have "Halloween on the Barbary Coast" but it's pretty long. I can get four Misfits/Ramones songs in the same space.

There's a Rhino "New Wave Halloween" CD that includes most of those (although, obviously, Mudhoney, the Misfits and Sonic Youth are not, by any definition, "new wave.") Notable non-new-wavers Roky Erikson and Dave Edmunds are also on it.

On the other hand, you also get a track from Ministry, from their well hidden (but very real) new wave period.
