“Fire” by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Bach’s Tocata and Fugue in D minor.
D’oh! Of course Kvallulf had got this and I overlooked it. Remembered the band, too, and even got the number right…
How about “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauhaus?
Or anything by Bauhaus for that matter.
Or even “Cut you up” by Peter Murphy, former Bauhaus frontman.
“This is Halloween”, Danny Elfman, The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack.
Also, the Crash Test Dummies song “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” and “The Memory Remains” by Metallica both have a creepy feel to them.
How about Aenima, by Tool. Pretty eerie.
Or…this CD called "Drew’s Horror…something something. Its got the theme songs from all these great horror movies, PSYCHO, Exorcist, Halloween, Christine, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining.
Tubular Bells is pretty good for a halloween type thing…
I agree, Pink Floyd would be suitable…
Danzig- Her Black Wings
Type O Negative- Creepy Green Light or Wolf Moon
Cradle Of Filth- Red Roses for a Devils Whore (Gothic Romance in Carpathia)
Cannibal Corpse- Just about anything from them will work
Morbid Angel- Rapture
Slayer- 213 (nothing like a Jeffrey Dahmer song to liven up the party)
Nile- Just about anything will work, Death Metal crossed with Egyptian themes
Slipknot- Tattered and Torn
People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re…straaaaaaaannnnnnnnnge
'Nuff said.
Or any solo work by Yoko Ono, if you want to simulate that whole “sounds of the tormented in Hell” atmosphere…
Amen, brother.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark did 2 albums full of Halloween stuff. Available on line.
OH COME ON!!
I may have missed it in previous threads, but why has no one said “Everyday’s Halloween,” by Ministry.
Clearly the first thing to come to my mind.
Everyday is Halloween, that is.
Damn, Damn, Damn you neuroman. I thought I was going to be the one to get there with Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, but you beat me to it. But it has to be on an organ, NOT an orchestral arrangement!!!
Anything by Tool, Static X, or Marilyn Manson
“Kiddies” by Self is pretty creepy too.
Ohhh.
“Halloween” by the Misfits.
The cover version by AFI is pretty good too (maybe even better…)

“Night Prowler” AC/DC.

Anything by Black Sabbath or Ozzy or Rob Zombie just about.
