Did you create this list for this post, or did you have it ready to go?
it’s one of my more recent Halloween playlists I’ve made, so I already had it
Well either way, I'm still impressed. Thanks for sharing
Personally I like the Marilyn Mason cover of Halloween. Also the Korn cover of Kidnap the Sandy Claws.
MC Hammer - Addams Groove. "Speaking and thinking about the Addams Family. They don't hurt anyone, they just like to have fun!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuYlLZ8Qg48

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Oingo Boingo - Dead Man’s Party
Mannheim Steamroller - Halloween
Disc 1 has some good spooky songs
Disc 2 has spooky background sounds
If you want something with funny lyrics, I love all of Danny Gonzales’s Halloween songs.

Glad I could help! He's really talented
Just put on the Digbar Halloween saga, I'm sure there won't be any complaints from parents.
A bunch of classical songs that fit the mood
https://www.discogs.com/release/4333379-Various-Fright-Night
Night on bald mountain, danse macabre, toccata & fugue, etc
I think adding more soundtracks could work too, Candyman, hellraiser, etc have great instrumentals
I didnt think of that! Awesome! thanks.
Carl Orff's O Fortuna
Zombie Jamboree!
There are a lot of different versions out there, the version by Jack Jeans is my favorite.
North American Halloween Prevention Initiative - Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?
I used to have a CD (when those where a thing) that just had scary noises. Perhaps you can weave some of those into your playlist?
Also, I know apple has at least one halloween playlist that I saw. I bet spotify, etc does too.
Id rather own it for next year. But thanks! The scary sounds might be a good idea.
My playlist is almost 3 hrs long but I'll list some notable ones that might not be listed already:
- pretty much anything from the Beetlejuice soundtrack
- Magic Dance - David Bowie
- Beware - Bill Buchanan
- The Invisible Thing - The Casual Three
- Munster Creep - The Munsters
- Ghost Walk - The Rocking Ghosts
- The Gremlin Rag Full Version - Jerry Goldsmith
- Killer Klowns - The Dickies
- Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Monster Shindig - The Gruesomes
- Re: Your Brains - Jonathan Coulton
Ghost Town by The Specials
Monster Rap - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
Rap for daddy!
