I see here & there that Halloween is begin to enter into the thinking of some people. Well, i have heard a couple of songs recently that have made me think of “seasonal” tunes to play as the eve approaches.
Add your songs Halloweenie selections here, even if they only vaguely qualify as such:
“Come Over” by Lovehoney- it’s ominous and cool. This band is so good!
The entire Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, but specifically:
This is Halloween
Oogie Boogie Song
I know Time Warp is traditional but this is really a much better Halloween song.
Science Fiction Double Feature.
No necessarily Halloween specific, but Amigo the Devil has a lot of creepy songs. The Weight or Dahmer Does Hollywood are both great for Halloween.
It’s always Halloween here – I’m usually listening to the Dead anyway.
Gotta go with some upbeat Oingo Bingo. Good Halloween party music.
Dead Man’s Party

I have a soft spot for Milton DeLugg’s two goofy Halloween albums. Here’s “At the Monster Ball”:
Pure kitschy goodness from way back when.
The Friends of Dean Martinez make some great atmospheric, eerie music, but my go-to Halloween jam will always be Haunted House by Oskar Lee. It’s like the weirdest burn I know.
