Hey thanks. I've been listening to the playlist for 3 years now. When it starts getting old, just add a new batch of songs. Loving the help I'm getting here for that.

That's pretty good. Thanks

Ok, I was really enjoying this thread and couldn't help but throw my two cents in here. As a prop builder who couldn't imagine creating anything without some sort of ambient music flowing in the background, I thought I'd post some of my favorite prop building songs.

No particular order......

Meg Lee Chin-Scarecrow.......A song I describe as hauntingly beautiful. Also do yourselves a favor and check out Ministry's original version of this song....An industrial classic!


Ministry-Khyber Pass.......Just raw primal drumbeats mixed with the mid-eastern wailings of Liz Consta. Takes me to a different place entirely.


Ministry-No W........Very political yes, but its totally overshawdowed by the hard hitting guitar riffs of this song. This one gets me pumped!

Yes....Thats Al Jourgensen's rendition of "O' Fortuna" in the intro.

White Zombie-Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls .....Yes this song was in the Beavis and Butthead movie. Like you've never been in an embarrassing situation either!?! This is what I imagine the metal soundtrack to Hell would sound like.


Rob Zombie.....This guy is the king in my MP3 player! He had his own haunted house and directs horror movies and sings about monsters!!! If Rob Zombie wasn't a famous rockstar, he'd be a home haunter too!

Reload.....An often overlooked classic of his because of the overplayed radio classics like Living Dead Girl and Dragula.


Everybody Scream....A real fun song from the House of 1000 Corpses soundtrack. This one gets played at my Halloween party too! RZ's homage to the Creature Feature Shows of late night local broadcast stations.


Fantomas-Spider Baby.......This was a remake of the original theme song to the 1968 Horror flick Spiderbaby. The original has Lon Chaney singing the lyrics. Give that one a listen too!


Keep this thread alive folks.....Been one my favorites.

WOOT! Some great new songs Cyclone Jack. Love the Meg Lee song and Zombie's Ratfinks and Reload. Big Zombie fan here too. To me, the quintessential prop building music artist.

Went on a cover search a while back and here's some new gems:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground




The Outlaws - Ghost Riders





Breaking Benjamin - Enjoy the Silence






The Cure - Purple Haze






Huge surprise with this one. Believe it or not this is Johnny Cash singing NIN's Hurt. All kinds of awesome here:





Finally, not Halloween related but cool none-the-less. Alien Ant Farm doing Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal:

Or there's always the 80's montage music. You could make a prop-building montage! lol
