I’ve always liked Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells”, which the intro that was used as the opening for the original Exorcist. Also, there’s the classical piece by Hector Belioz that was used as the intro to Kubrick’s “The Shining”, from “Symphonie Fantistique”. The actual piece is “Dreams of a witches sabbath”. It is fairly creepy.

Graveyard Funk No. 2. One of many songs from this group with Halloween vibes.

Too old, way too overplayed.

Here’s another recent number by Ghost, that was released before covid but is completely appropriate for the covid era;
