okay, so i thought it'd be fun to put a halloween mix cd together. here's what i have so far-
"a month dead" - stephen lynch (a stand-up comedian who plays guitar...)
"a nightmare on my street" - dj jazzy jeff & the fresh prince
"bark at the moon" - ozzy osbourne
"feed my frankenstein" - alice cooper
"halloween" - stephen lynch
"this is halloween" - marilyn manson (a cover of the "nightmare before xmas" track)
"thriller" - michael jackson
"he's back (the man behind the mask)" - alice cooper
"werewolves of london" - warren zevon
"ghostbusters theme" - ray parker jr.
"the time warp" - the RHPS soundtrack
"dream warriors (theme from NOES 3)" - dokken
i'm shooting for pop/rock themes, because i have a horror-billy punk mix in the works, too and i want to keep them seperate. any suggestions?!
"Trick Or Treat" by HALLOWEEN
"Halloween" by KING DIAMOND
"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell
Monster Mash, by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.
What's this? A Halloween music mix without "Monster Mash"? Unpossible!
I'd also suggest The Arrogant Worms' "Scary Ned." It's a novelty piece, but it does reference Halloween, and it's got some really nice fiddle playing.
"Ghost Town" by The Specials
"Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads
"I'm Your Boogieman" by White Zombie
This may be a stretch...but these usually pop up this time of the year.
Don't Fear The Reaper/Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult
Frakenstein - Edgar Winter Group
"Fear Of The Dark" & "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" by Iron Maiden.
The Devil Went Down To Georgia
"Black Sabbath" :thumbup:
Here's a few more that might work:
"Season of the Witch" - Donovan (or better yet, the Dr. John cover from Blues Bros. 2000)
"Bad Moon Risin'" - CCR (or better yet, the cover by 16 Horsepower)
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" - Johnny Cash
"I Walk on Gilded Splinters" - Dr. John (super-spooky voodoo tune)
"Evil" - Howlin' Wolf
"The Black Rider" - Tom Waits
ooh ooh "Raise The Dead" by Overkill

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'm not sure but the theme from Halloween would be nice.
i was primarily going for songs, as opposed to film themes.
here's the final cut-
01.Ghostbusters Theme - Ray Parker Jr.
02.Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
03.The Ripper - Judas Priest
04.A Nightmare On My Street - Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
05.Black #1 -Type O Negative
06.Bark At The Moon - Ozzy Osbourne
07.Frankenstein - Edgar Winter
08.He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) - Alice Cooper
09.Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
10.Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
11.The Time Warp - RHPS Soundtrack
12.Dream Warriors - Dokken
13.Werewolves Of London - Warren Zevon
14.This Is Halloween - Marilyn Manson
15.Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
16.Thriller - Michael Jackson
17.Halloween - Stephen Lynch
Hey ToyMan, could you post some of your horror-billy punk mix? I'm always looking for new music for the Halloween Party!
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.
Thanks ToyMan!

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

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. :smile:
A belated contender could be "Ghosts" by Japan. Pure spooky atmosphere and paranoia.
here's the punk/horrorbilly mix that eyesore wanted to see. i wanted to add "nasty" by the damned, but i couldn't find it anywhere.
01.Dia De Los Muertos - Resurex
02.(You're The) Devil In Disguise - Spellbound
03.Pet Sematary - The Ramones
04.Monster Mash - The Misfits (w/Graves)
05.Psyko (Themes from Psycho & Vertigo) - Laika & The Cosmonauts
06.Satan's Rejects - Demented Are Go!
07.Where Do Monsters Go? - Nekromantix
08.The 13th On Friday Night - Balzac
09.Graverobbers From Outer-Space - Psychocharger

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.

Not a bad list at all right there.
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 (http://www.myspace.com/dkaidian)
