Here's a song with very nice lyrics and imagery just appropriate for this season. It was from a popular 1930s musical:
"...Riding through the sky at midnight,
There's a witch upon a magic broom.
There is danger in the Southern sky at midnight,
If you look on high 'twill lead you to your doom.
With the magic scent of sweet magnolias
And the tender tune the breezes play,
Before you know, she's cast her spell around you,
Before you know, she steals your heart away
'Neath the southern moon where love is warm and tender
By the southern sea where love is warm and free..."
Song, performer, movie?

This popular fictional character was played in a series of films by an European-born actor better known for another genre. A remake in the 1960s featured a Brooklyn-born american of Sicilian descent. The title character was satirized in a Porky Pig cartoon and was also mentioned in a hit song by the Inkspots....Name the character and the two actors...Extra points for the hit song.

Must be Mickey Spillane's gumshoe, Mike Hammer. Spillane played the character in "The Girl Hunters" in 1963. Before that, the role was played by Robert Bray in "My Gun Is Quick"(1957), Ralph Meeker in "Kiss Me Deadly"(1955), and Biff Elliott in "I, The Jury"(1953)..... On TV, Darren McGavin and also Stacy Keach have played the part.... A remake of "I, The Jury" came out in 1982 with Armand Assante as Mike Hammer.

That's probably true, but "Robot Monster" was made in 1953, the same year as "Glen And Glenda"...

The Beast of Yucca Flats is a B horror film released in 1961. The film stars Swedish former wrestler Tor Johnson and was both written and directed by Coleman Francis. Some critics have characterized it as one of the worst science fiction films of all time, and one of the all-time worst, even suggesting that it may be worse than Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space.
The movie was filmed without a soundtrack. Narration, voiceovers, and some sound effects were added in post production. To avoid having to synchronize the audio to the picture, characters only speak when their faces are either off-screen or not clearly visible due to darkness or distance. Likewise, during scenes in which firearms are used, the muzzles of the guns are usually out-of-shot when the weapons are fired. Extensive narration is used in lieu of plot points being conveyed through dialogue.[3]
The film opens with the strangling murder of a woman (Mary Victoria Torres) who has just stepped out of the shower; it is implied that the killer molests her corpse. The identity of the murderer is never revealed and the murder is never discussed after that scene. The murderer is dressed like Javorsky after the blast, but the murder is never mentioned during the actual film, nor is there any apparent place in the narrative where it could be said to occur. According to an interview by film historian Tom Weaver with the film's producer Anthony Cardoza, the scene was added after the film was complete because director Coleman Francis liked nude scenes...
During scenes of gunplay, many characters appear at first to have suffered life-threatening bullet wounds, only to appear in later scenes fully recovered with no visible signs of having been wounded...
