To get a head start on Halloween tunes, you can also go to Pandora.com and type in 'Halloween Party Radio'. I do need to make a Halloween cd this year for the car. When your doing work on the comp all day like me, this will help a lot 8)

hkzombie -- I have the "Halloween Party" station saved in Pandora too. :) As well as their "Spooky Symphonies" station (which is more orchestral, sometimes from film scores).

Although, I have to say... their "Halloween Party" station doesn't do too much to think outside the box. I tend to hear the obvious choices (which are on every Halloween CD ever). And they seem to lean toward oldies a bit too much for my taste. Listen to that station for an hour or two, and you're almost certain to hear "Purple People Eater" and "Witch Doctor" and "Love Potion Number 9".... probably more than once.

For online Halloween radio, I actually like AOL Radio's Halloween station which I talked about in this thread. If you can put up hearing the same commercial every so often, they do tend to play a good variety of songs. Older and modern, fast and slow, with lyrics and instrumentals. Sometimes a clever song choice even I wouldn't have thought to include.

Yes! I always forget to mention that one. I listen to it often. I also really enjoy Rue Morgue Radio

I will check out those suggestions when I get a chance to! But may I add the fact I'm trying to get cover letters written up the wazoo for a job fair I'm attending tomorrow and it's hard to concentrate because the Halloween Party radio station is making me too giddy? :lol:

It's hard to have some serious consideration put into words for a job your interested in when all I can think about is the website, my dremel drill, pumpkins, and my list of scary movies to watch this year :P

01 - Here Come The Mummies - "Believe"
02 - Stevie Wonder - "Superstition"
03 - Ghoultown - "Return of the Living Dead"
04 - The J. Geils Band - "Fright Night"
05 - Misfits - "Monster Mash"
06 - The Pierces - "Secret"
07 - Ozzy Osbourne - "Zombie Stomp"
08 - Monster Cereals - "Go Disco"
09 - Johnny Cash - "Ghost Riders In The Sky"
10 - The Creepshow - "Halloween"
11 - Lily Munster - "Everyone Is Welcome"
12 - Alice Cooper - "Ghouls Gone Wild"
13 - Original London Cast - "The Phantom Of The Opera"
14 - The Ramones - "Pet Sematary"
15 - Shaboi - "Rapsylvania '88"
16 - Bobby Brown - "On Our Own"
17 - Peter Mayer - "John's Garden"
18 - Van Helsing's Curse - "Tubular Hell"

A great playlist as usual, with a load of songs that I'll have to look up.

My personal favourite on there is Superstition.

I love this video of Stevie Wonder playing it live on Sesame Street sometime in the seventies. What a superstar.

I love this thread. I go back to it every year looking for more song recommendations from everyone to add to my playlists. One I just added that I don't see here is 'The Carny' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Very atmospheric and spooky!

The entire album "Murder Ballads" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds would work for Halloween. My personal favorites are "Where the Wild Roses Grow" and "Stagger Lee."
