I take the entire month of October as an excuse to listen to my Halloween playlist on Pandora. It's become an interesting collection of old classics, psychedelic, jazz, movie soundtracks, and instrumental.
What are your favorite songs to get you in the spooky mood?
1. Misfits - Halloween (who doesn't enjoy the occasional candied apples and razor blades?)
2. Ministry - Every Day is Halloween
I fell in love with this song when I worked my first job at Hot Topic. The store manager loved Ministry and Halloween was definitely the best time of year to be working there.
3. Squirrel Nut Zippers - In the After Life
4. Grim, Grinning Ghosts from the Disney Haunted Mansion
Yea, this one needs no explanation
5. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor
I feel like this piece conjures up images of dark castles on stormy nights, empty halls covered in cobwebs, dark alleys with ominous figures looming in the corners. It is quintessential vampire music to me!
The list could go on and on from traditional Halloween songs to all kinds of contemporary songs with chilling twists. What are your favorite songs for this time of year?
