The live version of this song is available from Freegal.

You’ve got to have Poe if you’re going to do Halloween.

Some people don’t think this song captures the essence of Poe’s work, but it’s suitably creepy and controlled, like Poe.

According to Wikipedia, this was the first song to use a digital vocoder, through which Alan Parson could alter the sound of the spoken lyrics.
