Beginners aren't usually playing melodies down below middle C, so having such a deep register for this little song makes a nice change, as well as giving them the chance to learn about ledger line notes.
My students and I went to the whiteboard with these violin and guitar Halloween songs and drew the treble staff and the ledger line notes all the way to the lowest note. Then we compared the notes of "Monsters Everywhere" with the notes we had drawn on the board.

And here is the obligatory guitar version with tablature, for those non-readers:
Have fun!
