Good fun horror-themed disco LP from Germany. Some of the musicians and the arranger involved here were also involved with the Boney M LPs from the same era, and you can hear the similarities.

"Even vampires.." and "Dracula goes dreamy" are slower instrumentals, the rest of the songs have more of a beat, and feature a male spoken "spooky" vocal.

The last song "Terror on the dance floor" has a good disco beat/tune, but bizarrely features crowd noises of people screaming as the vocalist reads the names of the other songs on the LP!
