[Lenore]

yeah, looking at all of the albums i think that's probably true as i sit and think about it. most of the lyrics fit pretty well and so does the whole vibe of the album. another HIM song i like for Halloween is Serpent Ride. i think i posted this in another thread. its an old demo, but it fits the season perfectly. it has good lyrics too.

Oh I actually saw ur post and listened to that song earlier. And as a HIM fan since 199-something I'm a little confused cause I didn't know that song! It's great and great for Halloween so thanks for posting it.

haha yeah, its from an early demo from 1995 called This Is Only the Beginning of The End. it predates the release of their first album. its rather dark and gothy and quite perfect for Halloween. when i really like a band i usually go searching for their whole discography including all b-sides and any demos floating around.

the track list for that demo is

Serpent Ride
Borellus, which is based on some HP Lovecraft
The Heartless
Stigmata Diaboli
Wicked Game
The Phantom Gate

Bloody Mary is an awesome dark song...I think it will make my playlist in 2012!

[halloweenfiend]

Blitzkid - Lets go to the cemetery, pretty in a casket, dementia, terror in the haunted house, and just about all their songs
Calabrese - death eternal, voices of the dead, vampires don't exist, Saturday night of the living dead, midnight spookshow, and just about all their songs
Zombie Ghost Train - step into my coffin, monster rock n roll, R.I.P., Graveyard queen, and most of their songs
the creepshow is another great band that has good songs for Halloween.

I'm attempting to make a 31 hour playlist of Halloweenish music on Spotify. This will work nicely!

 

[HalloweenHouseParty]

Wow. This list is ridiculously long.

Can you add the year each track was released?

Please also add the following to each song:
Harmonic key,
Genre,
Lyrical highlights,
General mood of each song,
Theme that it's best suited for.

Thanks

p.s. please add this to an excel spreadsheet, so we can sort on any of the columns listed.

So... it's been a year or so.
How's that excel spreadsheet working out?

The member who originally started this thread is no longer a member here. You seem to have some knowledge of spreadsheets...perhaps you could take on this project.

haha! You're funny.
It would be nice though since the list is too long and 50% of the songs are unfamiliar to everyone.

Something missing on this list

Has any one person or members ever listed an index of halloween songs?
I know most of you have created playlists...Care to post yours?
It would be very helpful if members could visit this post and quickly find songs.
If you have a playlist or song index please post it.

Anyone want to get it started?


Working Index of Halloween Songs
Index was too large for one post...so it's been edited to fit in two.


I looked and don't see Alan Parson's Project Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
It's an entire Album of music based on Edgar Allen Poe.
I can't post links yet, because I am usually a lurker. But youtube has the entire album in one link.
