Your Favourite Spooky Season Songs

[wangobangy]

I listen to Halloween/spooky music all year round, so I have a few suggestions. 

First of all, my favourite band is Ghost and their music is perfect for Halloween, especially their first album "Opus Eponymous" is perfect for Halloween.

Here are a few albums that I would recommend for the spooky season:

• Dead Man's Bones by Dead Man's Bones
• Satan, Sex and No Regrets by Harley Poe
• Now You Are One Of Us by The Paper Chase
• The Silver Scream (and its sequel album: Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream Part 2) by Ice Nine Kills

I would also recommend a lot of the other albums by Harley Poe and Ghost. And of course, the game soundtracks to horror games, or just spooky games in general.

Jack by NegaRen, I've been listening to it 'round this time of year since I was 12.

I don't even celebrate Halloween.

This is *coughs* 14 minutes long but I think the vibe of it, especially the ending, perfectly capture a feeling of autumnal dread, I really love it

Eternal Darkness (Autumn) - Wintersun

This one has a really "classic" sort of spooky Halloween feel to me, psychobilly stuff

Walpurgis Night - The Coffinshakers

Another real classic

I Put A Spell on You - Screamin Jay Hawkins

This one is a little bit different but I've been obsessed with it lately, it's just such a great gothic vampire-y toxic love song hehe

Bed of Nails - Alice Cooper

[starbreaker]

Trash is one of Alice Cooper's best albums, hands down.

nick lutsko's got four spots on my halloween playlist with a ghost story and the spirit halloween trilogy!

heads will roll (a-trak remix)

and you gotta have the monster mash and spooky scary skeletons!!

those are all pretty normal halloween songs i think but here's one that's a little more off the beaten path! ish!! lake pontchartrain by ludo!

as someone who's totally normal about music and finding music to suit every vibe in my life, i may or may not have an entire playlist for this time of year...

it's got a lot of the classics, but also some stuff you might not know, such as these:

and also this absolutely bonkers piece by duran duran i love so much:

Status Quo - Halloween

This song is very fitting for today. I've listened to this song every Halloween for a couple of consecutive years now, four I believe!

Cluster - In Ewigkeit

Also, this song is pretty spooky too! I feel like this song would be perfect for exploring some kind of haunted mansion on Halloween night.
