Monster Megamix
Two years ago, I put together three Halloween albums of music I, um, “acquired” using some software developed by a now-bankrupt company. I pulled one of the discs out today and tried to figure out just what I was thinking when I put together this playlist:
1. Some spooky theme from a horror film
2. Highway to Hell by AC/DC (ok, hell, that’s sort of scary)
3. Halloween by Aqua (cheesy pop – very scary!)
4. Intergalactic Planetary by Beastie Boys (I guess I was thinking of large robots invading a city, which would be scary)
5. Psycho Man by Black Sabbath (Psycho. Ozzy. Self-explanatory.)
6. Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
7. Some wacky comedy song about Halloween
8. Mouth by Bush (I don’t know what the logic was here. Maybe it is just that Gavin sounds scary)
9. A song that sounds like it is probably from It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
10. Ghost In You by Counting Crows (ghost!)
11. Zombie by Cranberries (zombie!)
12. The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC (pumpkin!)
13. This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas
14. Halloween by Dave Matthews Band
15. Cat People by David Bowie (cats!)
16. Witchy Woman by the Eagles (witch!)
What spooky or in-some-way Halloween related songs would you add to the mix?
Legendary Pink Dots, Ghost
clock dva, The Sonology of Sex
trevor jones, bloodmare
the Horrorist, One_Night_In_New_York_City
SoM(St.Andrew:), Afterhours
Coil, Hellraiser theme or music-box-song
and that club mix of that orchestrial song
made uber-famous by all the shiny pretty
vampire movies ( whatever it’s called … )
You picked Cat People over Scary Monsters?
Hell’s Bells
Any Mariah Carey song
Can I get a copy of this?!
Mouth was on American Werewolf in Paris. I’m guessing that’s why you put it on there.
Everyday is Halloween – Ministry
I was going to say Scary Monsters, also. And of cours Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus.
