Have You Heard Ryan Gosling's Halloween Album?

Temperatures are dropping, leaves are changing and pumpkin spice-flavored goods are returning to grocery store shelves, which can only mean one thing: it's time to listen to Ryan Gosling's woefully underappreciated Halloween album.

That's right, seven years before La La Land introduced the world to his iconic croon, Gosling recorded an entire album with his rock duo, Dead Man's Bones, which, despite being eclipsed by his mega successful acting career, is a hidden Halloween-y gem.

In October of 2009, the two-man band, made up of rising star Gosling, now 41, and his friend Zach Shields, released Dead Man's Bones, its self-titled debut record — and only record to date.

The Notebook star — who has been showcasing his musical chops since age 12 — and the now-horror producer combined their love of music with their fascination with the supernatural to create the 44-minute-long album, which Pitchfork called "a truly unusual and surprising record."

Like the former Mickey Mouse Club star's own filmography, the haunting yet endearing album is full of romance, death and thrills — or, in Gosling's own words, "monsters and ghosts falling in love."

To bring life to even the most undead songs on the "spooky doo-wop" record (like the Norman Reedus-approved "My Body's a Zombie for You"), Dead Man's Bones enlisted the Silver Lake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir to sing backing vocals.

Though the album flew relatively under the radar — it didn't top any charts — Gosling's fans may have unknowingly heard their favorite actor sing some of its spooky songs. Several Dead Man's Bones tracks were featured on the soundtracks of projects like The Conjuring ("In the Room Where You Sleep") and Teen Wolf ("Lose Your Soul").

Less than two weeks after the album's October release, the band embarked on its first and only tour across 13 cities in the U.S. and Canada. At each stop, Dead Man's Bones recruited the help of a different children's choir — on the condition that they wore ghoulish clothes and makeup, of course.

Rather than a conventional opening act, each show began with a "talent show" of carefully curated local acts. A behind-the-scenes documentary of the band's New York City show features a young Gosling ever-so-gently turning down a woman who wanted to perform what she called her "poop opera."

"A poop opera, although I'm kind of amazed and it's kind of the best thing I've heard all day, I'm not sure that it goes with the vibe," the actor explained.

In 2010, Gosling and Shields stopped by a slightly more unusual concert venue, an assisted living facility in Pasadena, Calif., to film a performance of their song "Pa Pa Power" — and dance around with some of the facility's residents.

The most recent video on Dead Man's Bones' YouTube channel is the "Werewolf Heart" music video, uploaded in June of 2011.

While Gosling is likely too busy perfecting his "Ken-ergy" to pick up where his music career left off over a decade ago, all 13 tracks of Dead Man's Bones are available to stream this spooky season.
