I like to listen to songs that aren't Halloween-themed but genuinely frighting.

Scott Walker - The Escape
Skinny Puppy - The Mourn

Diamanda Galas - Wild Women with Steak Knives

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon, Diary of a Madman, Mr. Crowley
Alice Cooper - the whole Welcome to my Nightmare album
Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination

 

I used to play this looped in our front yard via those all-weather speakers that look like stones. We're on a busy street for pedestrians and trick-or-treaters. A perfect soundtrack for Halloween and, a great way to expose the little ones to Cornelius Cardew. What could be more fitting than "The Great Learning"?

 

Surprised no one's mentioned "Monster Mash" yet!
This song was always played on radio around Halloween.

 

Not a single soul has mentioned Dylan's "Man in the Long Black Coat"???

 

Vincent Price is a MUST!

 

Gotta dig this out.
