If you’re making a playlist for Halloween and don’t fancy playing Michael Jackson’s Thriller 14 times, head over to Electric Roulette for the site’s top 10 alternative Halloween songs.
Obviously, the likes of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, The Cramps and The Sonics won’t be to everyone’s taste – but who can resist a bit of Cliff Richard during a pagan festival?
And if you know of any more, leave a comment with them.

Everyone needs a peacoat for the winter and for looks, this newly-launched Fred Perry limited edition peacoat is right up there.
Slightly shorter than the usual peacoat and with a higher collar, otherwise fairly typical with side pockets, button cuffs and the double-breasted fastening.
It’s black only, made of 80 per cent wool and 20 per cent nylon. The one downside is the price – a rather hefty £295. Maybe worth waiting for the December sales – when it gets really cold and the coat hopefully gets a markdown.

It might be well over 60 years old, but the Poeten Sofa by Danish designer Finn Juhl is still an incredibly eye-catching piece of furniture.
It was made by Juhl for his own home in 1941 – and I’m guessing that home was tall and not that spacious, judging by the proportions of the sofa. If that’s your place too, this current version is incredibly well-made, with hand-sewn upholstery and legs available in several different types of wood.
Sold in a choice of fabric shades, the Poeten is available to order for £4,598.

Not where you are, but here (in less-than-sunny Manchester), it’s been pouring down for the last three days. Time for a waterproof – and a good time for the Lyle & Scott limited edition Vintage Windbreaker to become available.
This is straight out of the company’s archives and limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide. Three colourways available (including the two pictured here), each featuring a split colour design and featuring the distinctive Lyle & Scott eagle on the breast.
Made from a lightweight nylon, they retail for £69.

Lucienne Day designs are all the rage right now, with Spirografica pulling off quite a coup with an exclusive range of Lucienne Day handmade cushions, selected in conjunction with the designer herself.
Lucienne herself has selected the designs which she feels are the most appropriate for revival, including iconic designs such as Calyx, Spectators and Flotilla. The front of each cushion is digitally printed onto linen/cotton and each colourway is then carefully matched to the original fabric.
The cushions are handmade and filled with an 18” feather filled cushion pad. They retail for £70 each, but should prove a good investment.
A nice mix of styles on display with the Spiro angled table lamp.
The lower half (the arm and base that is) are very much in a modernist style, right down to the classic switch on the base. But the actual light has more of a 70s look about it. Saying that, the two go together well, whether you go for the table lamp in cream and chrome or black and chrome.
It’s sized at 70cm x 20cm, priced at £97.50.
