Thread: Music for a Black Widow's Wedding - and the Funerals of her Ex-Husbands

Tweet

Title pretty much says it all. I need song recommendations for the "soundtrack" to my "Four Funerals and a Wedding"-themed haunt. The bride is a black widow who is marrying a gentleman ghost, and the funerals are being held for her exes.

The only thing barred from the list is Wagner's Bridal Chorus, for obvious reasons.

Go forth and inspire me with your creativity!

Black Cadillac - Joyce Green
Sinners - Freddie and the Hitchhikers
She's My Witch - Kip Tyler
Blackest Rose - Midnight Syndicate

These are awesome (and very funny!)

I really love your theme, BlueFrog - it lends itself to tons of different possibilities.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

This sounds like such a cool haunt idea.

I'm so glad my theme seems to be tickling people's fancies. This was supposed to be a somewhat slack year between massive displays but it's definitely not turning out that way. In fact, the workload is going to be several notches above last year's insanity. If I were doing it without the assistance of the creative minds on the forum like yours (pl), the playlist is one of the things I'd have to sacrifice to the gods of necessity and time. Thanks to all of you, I shouldn't have to.

In other words, I can't thank you all enough for these suggestions. I have been very busy on YouTube to listen to these whenever I've had a spare second. I'm really looking forward to compiling a playlist and making the mix tape.

Extra special thanks to talkingcatblues for the amazing zip file. OMG, I can hardly wait to dig in and see what I can safely use Many many many thanks for going to the extra trouble.
