Yes, yes you can’t forget Rammstein, or the Sleep Hollow soundtrack. I have that movie and the music causes me to get goosebumps everytime. That “this is halloweem” song in The Nightmare Before Christmas is kinda cool too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-to-halloween-by/37394.md?page=2)
