a challenge for y'all

for my halloween party, i'm in charge of putting together some mix cds witha halloween theme. i'm looking for a wide range of music which falls into one of these categories:

- a song with a spoooooky title (eg. zombie by cranberries)
- a song sung by a band with a spoooooky name (eg anything by monster magnet)
- a song from a spoooooky film or tv show (including theme tunes)
- a generally spoooooky song (eg black sabbath by black sabbath)

it would be too easy to only choose songs by iron maiden and slayer, i need some variety...

suggestions please!

    I find Red Right Hand by Nick Cave quite spooky.

    and Mary by supergrass for some reason.

    • ooh and..

      The last track on FNM's album of the year, Pristina?

  • A few suggestions

    Puppy Dog Snails by the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
    Anything off the second Liars album.
    I've already said it once but Devil Woman by Cliff Richard needs to be there as well.

      "Royal Society" by 80's Matchbox is quite unsettling.

      "Backdrifts" Radiohead is a bit freaky in the dark.

    when you asked me this ages ago?

    What did I recommend? Am I a Genius? Did I say MC Hammer's Adam's Family Rap? I think I did. Genius.
