How about 31 songs to get you in a Halloween mood? Admittedly, some of these are a stretch, but I figured I could come up with something besides Monster Mash and Flying Purple People Eater. Those are good songs, but they've been played to death. Also, yearly reminder that Zombie isn't a Halloween song.
Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments.

ReplyDeleteLike Ann, I'm not in the least bit into Hallowe'en but there's some excellent choices there - Dead Kennedys especially! xxx
ReplyDeleteImpressive list! I can't think of anything to add, short of scary-sounding classics from Broadway and from movie soundtracks. "The Phantom of the Opera," for instance, and "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. Both have been played to death, but I bet others who are more creative can think of some lesser-known examples.
