Songs on Your Halloween Playlist

[Zeeba Neighba]

In the ol' MG, I posted my Halloween playlist which I break out annually which has Halloween songs like "Monster Mash" mixed with creepy sounding songs ("Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath) and songs completely related to the holiday but have appropriate titles/vibes ("Zombie" by The Cranberries)

Time to post the song(s) you'd put on YOUR Halloween playlist

I'll start with a standard (and I know Worm loves it):

"Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

This one is from Pickett's appearance on American Bandstand in the early 60s. Cute seeing a young Dick Clark introducing the song/interacting with the audience. Though, of course, lip synched, it's fun seeing what Pickett looked like (despite his creepy faces)

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Halloween"

 

[Old Uncle Toe]

I just mentioned this yesterday. Funny coincidence. Or Is It?

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Though severe Blue Oyster Cult songs could make the cut, I've always felt "Joan Crawford" is the perfect mix of funny and really creepy

The opening theme from The Shining always creeps me out:

^ I had forgotten that the opening credits were accompanied by the Dies Irae with creepy synth-pennywhistle sound effects. <shiver>

To be clear, the Dies Irae heard here is actually from Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, Dreams of a Witches' Sabbath.

You didn't know John Cusack was lead singer of the Damned, did you?
