Need Halloween Party Music (1 Viewer)

[Michael St. Clair]

I need to put together some Halloween party music.

Here are some things that popped into my head, but I need more suggestions...It doesn't have to be explicity Halloween, but at least dark, spooky...fit the mood. Humor is not mandatory.

I Put a Spell on You
Monster Mash
anything from the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' soundtrack
anything from the Disney 'Haunted Mansion' CD
Paint it Black
Sympathy for the Devil
Werewolves of London

Hmmm, I know some spooky cuts from TMBG, but I can't remember the names...I can find those.

I'm sure there is some good Oingo Boingo stuff but I'm not an expert.

Any help would be appreciated.

You're off to a good start, So many choices

Witchcraft - Elvis
Haunted House - Jumpin Gene Simmons (no relation to KISS)
The Raven - Alan Parsons Project (narration by Vincent Price I think)
The Mummy - can't remember the performer right now (just came to me Bob McFadden!)
Dinner with Drac - ? Zacherle
Experiment in Terror - Henry Mancini
Spooky - Classics IV
Anything from the Ed Wood Story Soundtrack

The themes to the movie Halloween and Unsolved Mysteries are ultra creepy and hilarious.

 

[Dennis_H]

You want scary...
King Crimson TrackAttack will spook (and annoy) all your partygoers.

 

[Mike Broadman]

King Crimson TrackAttack will spook (and annoy) all your partygoers.

Last weekend I had Crimson blaring in the car and my girlfriend clutched her ears and cried, "Dear God, turn that down!"
Crimson rules.
Anyway...
Goblin Girl- Frank Zappa
pretty much anything from Slayer, Death, et al.
And, of course, Black Sabbath
NP: Beethoven 7th and 8th, DVD-A

 

[Michael St. Clair]

Good lord, I own ThrakAttack, but I can't even subject myself to an extended listening.

every halloween i wallow in misery because of the fact that i can no longer attend one of my annual halloween rituals:
attending OINGO-BOINGO's halloween concert
so, in honor of them, i decree any song from the 'dead man's party' album a viable candidate.
obviously the title track gets dibs!

 

[Andrew Chong]

Ministry - 'Everyday is Halloween'

Thomas Dolby/Screaming Lord Byron - 'The Devil Is An Englishman'

 

[Jeremiah]

Try Mr. Bungle first two songs on their self titled album. "Quote Unquote" and "Slowly Growing Deaf".

 

[Ed St. Clair]

Freak Out! The Mother's of Invention.

 

[Mike Broadman]

Iced Earth's latest album has a whole theme about horror flicks. Haven't gotten it yet, though. Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper probably have a wealth of material that fit.

NP: Thelonious Monk, Monk's Dream

 

[Demetri_H]

I would say just about anything by Type O Negative.

 

[James_P_Clark]

Here's the track list I came up with for a similar comp of my own. I wasn't really interested in the cheesy Halloween tracks like monster mash. Probably won't be a lot of help since I doubt that you have much (if any) of these releases in your collection.

1 O Fortuna-From Carmina Burana-Performed by the
Boston Pops, John Williams conductor
2 Love Never Dies, Part 1-Apoptygma Berzerk
3 Witches-Switchblade Symphony
4 Black Day-Abney Park
5 Mysterium-Clan Of Xymox
6 Rosemary’s Baby-Hecates Angels
7 Are You Gone?-The Cranes
8 Gargoyles-Vigil (via Chip B)
9 Iron Gate-Alphaville
10 The Host of Seraphim-Dead Can Dance
11 The Passion And The Fury-Autumn Tears
12 Inoa Ole-The Creatures
13 Ascension Day-Alphaville
14 Blood Countess-Untotoen
15 Witches Revolt-Noisex
16 Requiem-VNV Nation
17 Martin-Soft Cell

Here is the tracklist of another Halloween comp from a buddy that was created by combing mine, his, and those of a few other music trading pals.

1. Numb - Portishead
2. Everyday is Halloween- Ministry
3. I'm Your Boogie Man - White Zombie
4. Trouble's Braids - Tom Waits

might wanna check out the new murderdolls cd. the entire disc is devoted to everything macabre and murderous. also, if you are planning to use "i put a spell on you" i would suggest using the marilyn manson cover version. also, manson does a nice and eery cover of "suicide is painless"
