Favorite Halloween Songs?

It didn’t look like there is a thread on this topic, let’s hear what you’ve got!

Here’s one to start:

 

I have the Halloween Hits comp from Rhino, which has ten tracks. Four of them are among my favourite novelty songs; one of them isn't really Halloween-themed.

The four:

Sheb Wooley, Purple People Eater
Bobby Boris Pickett, Monster Mash
Gene Simmons, Haunted House
Ran-Dells, Martian Hop

 

The Monster Mash

 

The Headless Horseman - Kay Starr

 

My kids introduced me to "This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman from the soundtrack to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

My favorite Halloween song…

 

... It's a Graveyard Smash!

 

Halloween b/w Halloween II

 

It would be remiss…… to leave out this: The Dream Syndicate - Halloween

 

Jerry Goldsmith - Carol Anne's Theme {1982}

 

Ahhh Bach. Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

 

What else but the theme song from the original Halloween movie. Repetitious? Oh, yeah, but it sets up a creepy as hell mood. Composed by none other than John Carpenter himself.

 

Boris the Spider..eeek!

 

The Shining score

 

Dream Syndicate - “Halloween”
Incredible String Band - “Witches Hat”

 

Chopin dirge

 

Halloween? What are you, crazy? People have been talking Christmas already!

The Vindictives do a 13:13 medley of Halloween songs called "Jerk O Lantern". Fun!

JERK-O-LANTERN - The Vindictives, by The Vindictives

 

The Shaggs!!!!!



.............why even Dracula will be there.

 

Ramones - Pet Sematary

 

“Ghost Town” by The Specials.

 

(I may or may not have compiled a pile of 'em.)

 

“Red Right Hand” - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

 

Spooky - The Classics IV
