Haloween Party Music

What creepy, haunting, out there, whatever, song would you want to hear at a Halloween party?

Too tired to think right now...think I'll have to sleep on it.

It's Halloween, love.

And I did a mixed CD one year...and just did a Napster search for halloween music. You come up with all sorts of stuff. A lot of it is kind of campy. I think Graveyard by Moonlight by CoF was very haunting. Rasputina's Translyvanian Concubine is halloweenesque. Then you HAVE to have like Monster Mash and silly things like that.

my halloween playlist (the condensed version)...

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: the Carny
Misfits: Halloween
Bauhaus: Bela Lugosi's Dead
Tiger Army: The Power of moonlight
the Cure: 100 years
AFI: Fall Children
Misfits: Halloween II

Theme from the Exorcist
Jerry Goldsmith's Satanic Requiem from The Omen
Theme from Psycho Bernard Herman
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Most anything by Joy Division
Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones (or Guns and Roses, both good)
