Best Halloween Music

[StoneGold]

OK, maybe this should have gone up a couple days ago, but whatever. Fill in the tracks here.


Course, with Yahoo Music, every day is mix day!

Do you party music that is thematically linked to Halloween or scary stuff? Or music that is actually spooky sounding? I'm assuming anything with a scary or monster theme will work.

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group
The Raven - Alan Parsons Group
Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
Descent to Darkness - Velvet Acid Christ
Isolated - Chiasm (http://www.chiasm.org/) **my favorite on this list
Possum Kingdom - The Toadies
Eternal - Bone Thugs n Harmony
Zombie - The Cranberries
Every Night is Halloween - Ministry
Careful With That Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd

Awesome! They have "Frankie Teardrop" in there!

For sheer Halloween camp factor nothing beats the original Misfits. I'll also throw in the Damned's wonderful tribute to B Horror movies "Plan 9 Channel 7", though it sounds best coming after the track "These Hands" on Machine Gun Etiquette. "These Hands" has a non musical sequence featuring the sounds of shoes walking, a woman's shocked gasp, and what sounds like David Vanian's slightly menacing chuckle. Because "Plan 9 Channel 7" comes in so quickly after that it sounds like an introduction to the song, and perfect one at that.

Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash."

Just ain't Halloween with out it.

[CaptMagellan]

"The Ballad of Dwight Frye"
"I Love the Dead"
"Cold Ethyl"
the "Years Ago," "Steven," "The Awakening" trilogy of songs
"Roses on White Lace"
All by Alice Cooper

The Album "The Consequences of Raising Hell" by Coil

For a Voodoo feel...
"Sun, Moon, and Herbs" by Dr. John (the NightTripper)

[Grant]

Or Valentine's or Presdient's Day either.

[DennyK]

Other than songs, the theme music from Halloween is perfect

The Album "The Consequences of Raising Hell" by Coil

I think almost anything by Coil or Nurse With Wound would work.

[CaptMagellan]

I think almost anything by Coil or Nurse With Wound would work.

Pretty much. Clive Barker described Coil's music as "the only music that makes my bowels churn."

[DennyK]

Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner is actually a better Halloween song than Werewolves of London IMO.

[K'Nort]

I listened to Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party yesterday and most of it works.

[Patrick Ferguson]

Misfits -- "Halloween II" owns.

[Rob Allen]

Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash."

Just ain't Halloween with out it.Check out "Monster Hash" by The Toyes.

Bobby Pickett meets Cheech & Chong.

[StoneGold]

For the record, Bustin' makes me feel good.

[ZombieHavoc]

Misfits -- "Halloween II" owns.

pretty much all of the misfits and samhain's catalog is good halloween music.

also cradle of filth's "her ghost in the fog" and the entire horror show album by iced earth.

and of course
Helloween- "Halloween"

but halloween was yesterday. im through with it.

[ZombieHavoc]

'Tis the season for resurrection.


Some Halloween jams I've been rocking:
-Alice Cooper- Keepin' Halloween Alive
-Maniax- The Witching Hour
-Goblin- Everything (they are the band that did a lot of the music for a lot of Argento's films, so...fitting)

[ZombieHavoc]

Oh, and also "Halloween Girl" by Blue Ash.

[jesse_custer]

Careful With That Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd

Oh yeah, awesome choice. The screeching vocal sounds like it came straight out of a horror movie.

[Ziggy Stardust]

OK, maybe this should have gone up a couple days ago, but whatever. Fill in the tracks here.

[Infernorhythm]

AFI's cover of The Misfits' "Halloween" is a must.

Also, the entirety of Voltaire's work. From "When You're Evil" to "Zombie Prostitute." He's an insanely brilliant, upbeat goth with a plethora of songs that are perfect for the season.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Yep. "The Carny" would probably do nicely there, too. Also:

"Earth Died Screaming," by Tom Waits
"Song For The Deaf," by Queens Of The Stone Age
"Death Valley '69," by Sonic Youth

[Hiromi]

Quite a few Diamond Head and Alice Cooper albums fit the bill.

[Eric D.]
