Here is part of my Favorite Spooky Songs playlist. I tried to remove any repeats I have from previous posts, but I may have missed a few (some I kept in as alternatives to versions already listed/had artist’s name which was previously unlisted). This looks moderately picked-over (after all, most of the definitive creepy classics have already been mentioned), but the ones I think are particularly worth a listen and would use in the background of some sort of social shindig have a * at the end. Of course, like the previous lists, the selection is pretty eclectic, and not everything is G-rated. After the song list are some albums that I am very fond of, and would have listed – more or less – in their entirety. Hope this helps someone.

As I have noticed a few piratical haunters out there, here are some artists who have produced albums that include one or more songs about superstitions/supernatural elements on the high seas (most are pirate rock, which may not appeal to some; I thought I would just throw these out there):
>Captain Bogg & Salty – Their more ‘mature’ album Prelude To Mutiny has some haunt potential, but their other albums also have some possible fodder)
>Hucklescary Finn – some of the Capt. Bogg & Salty guys
>Skip Henderson - Excellent traditional pieces, and his song Billy Bones is a favorite of mine
>The Whisky Bards – The Recuiter…Free Rum Ain’t Free has a few classic chanteys, and I’m very fond of their song Devilish Mary
>Scurvy Bastards – Their album Piranthology is a mix of spooky and pirate-y elements, with my favorite tunes being Black Mot, The D-song (A Zombie Showtune), and HalloweenTown.
>To The Bottom of the Sea (Themed album by Voltiare) - not all songs are particularly appropriate for a “G-rated” audience, or very Pirate-y for that matter, but the following could find a home on a pirate theme haunt soundtrack: The Beast of Pirate’s Bay, This Ship’s Going Down, To The Bottom of the Sea
