I'm trying to get together a large amount of halloween music to play at my bookshop during the Halloween season (Dec. 26-Thanksgiving). So I'm looking for Suggestions (I'm more into actual music than ambient soundscapes, and sound effects)
Here's some that I've found that I enjoy
Horror Hop and Monster Bob put out by buffalo bop records. These 2 cd's contain an amazing array of halloween 50's style novely music that you don't hear much if at all.
Haunted House "20 tracks to make you jump in the night" halloween music from the twenties and thirties. Fats Waller, Ma Rainey, even Bing Croby doing the Headless Horseman song.
Classics from the Crypt. Spooky classical, some are a little long for my short attention span.
Drews famous Horror Movie themes. just like what the title indicates.
So If anyone knows of some good Halloween Music Cd's let me know
Thanks
Frank

I will have to compile a list of them. I can never get enough Halloween music though. Love the oldies. Love the new ones too!
I have spent a lot of time this year listening to haunt scapes instead of songs, but I will have to get back into singing along with things like "the blob" this coming year.

You left out "The Monster Mash"!! I am deeply offended! It is my fave Halloween song. Put in "The Monster Mash"!! *goes off in a sulk*

If you want some music this has no words, but is really pretty and "haunting" try Midnight Syndicate: Vampyre
I love listening to this CD!! I go to sleep to it just about every night. It may be really freaky sounding to some but to me it is very nice. Perfect for a haunted house or something of that sort....
I may be a little vampyre,
but I'm real tough and mean,
fangs like these you've never seen!

Switchblade Symphony has an album titled "Bread and Jam for ..." or something like that, and it has some Hallowe'en-flavored dark music on it. The sound track to Bram Stoker's Dracula is Hallowe'enish, too.

. . . and for anyone looking for something a bit more modern than monster mash (not to say that it isn't one of the greatest songs) i would suggest you purchase HALLOWEEN HOOTENANNY, put out on Zombie-a -go-go Records in 98. It's perfect for those occasions where Dr. Demento and Purple People Eater just won't do . . . .

About three years ago K-Mart was selling a compilation of Halloween songs on CD.
On the cover is a photo of a blond girl with her hair sort of billowing behind her for some reason?
This was taken in the wine cellar of my house the Raven's Grin Inn in Mount Carroll, Ilinois.
Of course K-Mart sends me my royalty check like "Clock-work" every month for this....sure they do,...if your "Clock" was run over in the drive way by a garbage truck!
This photo was an out-take from the National Geographic World cover on the October 1996 issue.
The little girl's hair looks "Billowy" because they had a fan blowing on her, for about 2 hours, in a room that is only 53 degrees!
Ain't it fun being a "model"? She was just a local girl.
So now you know!
