Halloween! (Music)

[EmeraldKitten]

I decorated the shop where I work for Halloween, (imagine that) and I want some music!
I have several of the creepy noise CDs, and even a couple that have the theme songs to scary movies.

My question is this: can anyone think of any 'normal' music that could be considered Halloweenie?
For example: 'Abracadabra' ~ Steve Miller
See what I mean?

(I do want stuff that's family friendly, since I'll be playing it at my station at work, lol.)

My ex was Industrial, and had burnt me a CD of some stuff that qualifies. (Look for something by Coil if you're into that kinda thing. )
But I guess I'm looking for some more typical type songs.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

One song you gotta have! "Monster Mash" by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett [A 1962 #1 song]

 

[EmeraldKitten]

But of course!

I now have 'I Put A Spell On You' and 'Black Magic Woman'.

I'm getting creative, lol.
I've been googling, but it's not bring up exactly what I want.

Just about anything by Rob Zombie would work for me . . . might be a little too harsh for a work environment, though.

Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you - lyrics..I can't remember the title, but it's a cool one.

You might could google some of the themes from Alfred Hitchcock movies as well. Some of those were just eerie.

Ghostriders in the Sky -- Johnny Cash.

Tubular Bells -- Mike Oldfield (the theme from The Exorsist to most people.)

I don't recall the name or artist, but the title theme for The Omen -- and probably several others from tha sountrack, but the title theme is both eerie and memorable.

Dance Macabre by Saint-Saens

Og

 

[Chantilyvamp]

I now need to make a cd myself, though monster mash and witchy woman are two of my favorites anyway. I think I feel the need to dance a bit freaky to some tunes! We did a 'thriller' musical dance thing in choir for a production and I think it would be hysterical to teach the kid the moves.

wooly bully
wild thing
blood of me
secret agent man
wicked game
erotic nightmares
star trekkin
wild thing~ muppets version
brain eaters
goolie garden
someone walked over my grave
the rockin ghost
rockin a zombie
vampira
graveyard rock

Some of the songs are off of the Ghouls with Attitude cd's which they have a download for.

You guys are fantastic! I gotta start downloading, lol.
Very good ideas... exactly what I'm talking about!

rengade, Cradle of Filth is kinda scary... 'Dinner At Deviant's Palace' is creepy. (It's the Lord's Prayer backwards. *shudders*)

Thank you thank you thank you!
