So far I’ve got
Lydia Lunch’s cover of Spooky (post-punk)
Type O Negative’s Black No. 1 (probably the single version) (goth rock)
The Specials - Ghost Town (Ska)
Shocked by the lack of bobby pickett’s monster mash (Halloween pop?)
Danse Macabre
Besides the obvious ones:
- “Hell” - Streetlight Manifesto
- “Wolf Like Me” - TV on the Radio
- “Anybody Else” - Dom Fera
Also, a bunch of songs by Bear Ghost! “Haunt, The Cartoon Heart,” “Necromancin Dancin,” “Rivers is a Vampire,” and others.
“iiiiiiiiiinnnnn the afterlife you could be heading for some serious strife”
Wait, I thought that was Squirrel Nut Zippers?
🎶now you make us sing all day, but tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay 🎶
It was originally! SLM did a really sick cover of it.
Where. Is. Thriller?
But seriously props OP. Type O is a great answer. I’m going to add (other than Michael Jackson) the song When You’re Evil by Voltaire.
This is Halloween, This is Halloween…everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
Is most of the lyrics I recall of the first song that comes to my mind.
Alice Cooper - He’s back (the man behind the mask)
Has to have Rockwell on it!
I have a 108 song Halloween playlist!
Agree with the Misfits Halloween.
Some you may not have considered:
If You Were Still Around - John Cale
Vampire - Claudia Schmidt
Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd
What’s he Building? - Tom Waits
Rockin’ Bones - The Cramps
Zombie - Maitre Gims
Pet Semetary by Ramones!
Oh man, let me dig deep into history for this gem:
Switchblade Symphony - Witches
After getting the reference in NOPE, I think Purple People Eaterdeserves a place on the list.
Personally I’d add PJ Harvey’s Down By The Water for sheer creepiness factor.
Dead Souls Personally I like the NIN cover from The Crow soundtrack
Any of the many versions of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? I’m partial to the Sleigh Bells version
