Thread: The 'PERFECT' Halloween CD

Tweet

I have a load of Halloween music over at Spooky Sound Pad, if you're interested.

Thank you. Everyone is being so helpful!

Toccata by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

The song "My Daddy is a Vampire", by the Meteors, is a must. Available on iTunes.

Forget the Ghostbusters song, that's not scary.

I think it depends on the angle in which you are going for. I have a CD that has your typical run of the mill Halloween type songs like Thriller, Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Purple People Eater, Time Warp... ect. These are fun "party songs" but are not what I use on actual Halloween. I tend to use more mood music and tracks from many from soundtracks including... Amityville Horror, Bram Stocker's Dracula, Brother's Grimm, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissor Hands, Friday The 13th, Chronicles Of Narnia, Casper, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, SharkBoy & LavaGirl, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pan's Labyrinth, Passion Of Christ, Sleepy Hollow, Stardust, Xfiles... etc. to name more than a few. lol

When I first started collecting, I had a CD each of "fun songs", "dark songs", and "kid songs". You just can't mix stuff like "Ghostbusters" with "Red Right Hand", or "Thriller" with "Haunted Dancehall".

I see your point.

I don't think anyone has suggested "Deadman's Party" by Oingo Boingo or "Weird Science" by Thomas Dolby yet (yes I grew up in the 80s.)
