_Toccata and Fugue in D minor_, J.S. Bach (or maybe somebody else) - the stereotypical Halloween music. I was going to add “Supernatural” by Ke$ha, but it won’t be released for two more months. ☹ ---

Echo and the Bunnymen - People Are Strange (Or, if you prefer the Doors’ version go with that.) Chiasm - **[Isolated](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoUCyrg5Syo)** (Maybe?) Screamin’ Jay Hawkins - **[I Put A Spell On You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0exXGfzivJ8)** Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl If you want subtly spooky, then Peter Murphy - **[Cuts You Up](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY85bkZlJk4)** would suit the purpose nicely. The Cure - **[Lullaby](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWIDs0QYqRU)** (The single version ,not the remix.) ---

Since all the typical ‘halloween’ songs get old, my playlist is not traditional Halloween music but still spooky: _Flight of the Cosmic Hippo,_ Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. The greatest Halloween music ever written. _Kashmir,_ Led Zeppelin _Sweet Dreams,_ Eurthymics _In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida._ (the full version, of course), Iron Butterfly _Lunatic Fringe,_ [I forget. The original one] _Day-O, the banana boat song._ Harry Belafonte. Used in _Beetlejuice,_ so it counts. ---
