Please, music and viddies less than ten years old. My contribution is Broken Peach’s rendition of “This Is Halloween”
Tim Burton - This is Halloween (by Broken Peach) - YouTube
Take a look at this gifted Washington Post - 50 Best Halloween Songs; you shouldn’t need a subscription. It might give you some thoughts on what a “Halloween song” is; not sure I’d say all of these are.
I see you’re asking for within the last ten years. There’s a Taylor Swift song in there, so perhaps it still works for you. It seems like lots from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Yeah, I’ve seen that list but, like I said, I am looking for fresh corpses.
well, you might try a selection of murder ballads. Turn the lights down and play these. I guarantee chills. Here’s a sampling, old tunes, but recent performances
I took the OP to be looking for songs about Halloween, not just songs about scary things (and which I have none to offer; sorry).
OTOH, it’s pretty easy to listen to Cannibal Corpse, etc. nowadays eh. Plus lots of their videos are, of course, mini-horror films.
No prob. If this is something you would like to hear at a Halloween party, go for it.
Ah, excellent; thank you for the clarification.
When I think of music and Halloween, I often think of the shows that Frank Zappa used to do at the Palladium in NYC. A few years ago I managed to snag one of the 1977 packages which includes great music like this:
Way too old, and way too familiar.
Looking for newer stuff.
Sorry. The performance is old but the recordings (audio & film/video) were only released 5 (iirc) years ago. I getcha tho.
Here is another one Broken Peach just put out-“Tainted Love”
How about something by Ghost? Their first album came out just about ten years ago, and their entire discography falls safely into the horror-rock genre.
If you want super-fresh, they just put out a new single this month for the Halloween Kills soundtrack;
It is 12 years old, but I still listen to Ryan Gosling’s Dead Man’s Bones album every once in a while. Surely this is Halloween music.
OK; not sure if you’d like some of the other stuff I like… but here goes…
How’s this?
I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with a relatively recent song that is kind of scary sounding, so how about Heathens - Twenty one pilots (2016, from Suicide Squad). It’s got a nice minor key and interesting (?) lyrics. Hope it meets your needs.
