Just finished my playlist and made myself stop at 5 hours of music--I was spending too much! (Yes, I know there are ways to get without paying and I don't judge others that do, but as a freelance writer I'm intimate with not getting paid for all your work so I feel it's good karma to pay).

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.

Albums/Artists:
>Spike Jones in Stereo “Spooktacular in Screaming Sound”
>Dracula’s Deuce (The Ghouls)
>Dr. Elmo Sings The Boos
>Spooky Town (Creepy Clyde)
>Halloween: Games, Songs and Stories (Wade Denning & Kay Lande)
>Halloween Songs & Sounds (Disney)
>The Greatest Show Unearthed (Creature Feature)
>I’m also a new fan of the Psychobilly group Nekromantix, and would recommend checking them out if you are into this type of music and are not familiar with them yet
>just about anything by the Misfits (which I now realize I have all too little of in my collection)


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

wow great list

I thought I would bump this thread back to the top as I was looking for ideas for my party this year.

I would also really love it if any of you who are willing might share some stuff? Mostly just the classic halloween music like monster mash and its remixes, transylvania twist, etc... As well as both versions of the Nightmare Before xmas soundtrack... that is the original and the covers.

thanks for any offers that would be great.
