making a "halloween" mix cd

[ToyMan]

sure, as soon as i've finalized the playlist, i'll post it in this thread instead of making a whole seperate thread for it.

[Eyesore]

Thanks ToyMan!

[Patient7]

i was primarily going for songs, as opposed to film themes.

Ahh that's a shame, some really scary movie themes out there.  Like Rosemary's Baby!

Monster Mash, by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

What's this? A Halloween music mix without "Monster Mash"? Unpossible!

ooh, i should have made a note about this- a cover version of "monster mash", by the misfits, is going to appear on the horror-billy punk halloween disc i'm burning, too. i wouldn't want to have too many similar songs on either disc. similarly, the "munsters theme" appears on another halloween mix, that being rob zombie's "halloween hootenanny", so i didn't want to use that, either.

there are a lot of good suggestions here, though. thanks, guys.

I was gonna bring up the Misfits cover.  Glad you did.


I was gonna mention as well:
"Nature Trail to Hell in 3-D" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.  It's a five minute horror movie with funny lyrics.
"I Put A Spell on You" by Screamin Jay Hawkins.  Marilyn Manson also does a cover of it.
"The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati" by Rose and the Arrangement
"Rock Lobster" by The B-52s
'Fish Heads' by Barnes and Barnes (not really a Halloween song, but I sometimes hear it played around then.)

Can't find the real theme on Youtube anywhere... it's an interesting bit of music included on a Paramount collection I have... la la la la la la la la la la la... la la la... la... la... la la la... la la la, la, la, la, la, la - la...
I am saddened to see no true history on your mix.  Halloween is all about the past, of course, even, what has passed.

A belated contender could be "Ghosts" by Japan. Pure spooky atmosphere and paranoia.

hey, knock yourself out, man. compile a list of your own and post it here for others to see. i'm sure at least a few people would get a kick out of it.

I'd "O Fortuna (Dance Remix)" by Apotheosis. 

It's a kickass techno/dance mix of the classic Orff piece.  It'd be really great for a party, especially if you want people to get up and move!  :)

If you want to listen to it, you can find it on the playlist on my Myspace profile. http://www.myspace.com/dkaidian
