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?!

Psycho Circus

"Trick Or Treat" by HALLOWEEN

"Halloween" by KING DIAMOND

"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell

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.

Psycho Circus

"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.

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
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

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.

Yes, salad.

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!
