“It’s a Halloween party in a digipak,” Voltaire said of the original CD release in 2007. Ooky Spooky, remains his most hilariously spooky album to date. Years in the making, Voltaire’s 5th album features his crowd-pleasing songs about zombie prostitutes, devils and dancing skeletons. In fact cannibalism, the undead, going to hell in a hand basket and bombing New Jersey are just a few of the topics covered on Ooky Spooky. Back are the violins and cellos but new to the Voltaire sound is a horn section that brings to mind images of a mariachi skeleton band. But there is no doom and gloom here, mind you. The album bounces along with a mixture of klezmer, swing and reggae that brings to mind such spooky-fun classics as Oingo Boingo’s “Dead Man’s Party” or “Hell” by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Voltaire’s love for Cab Calloway is evident in the song “Cannibal Buffet” (which seems straight from a Betty Boop cartoon) and more so in “Land of the Dead” which Voltaire wrote for the opening credit sequence of the Cartoon Network movie “Billy and Mandy’s Big Boogie Adventure.”
