Halloween Playlists?

Halloween Playlists

A conversation I had while out to lunch today with friends prompted thoughts of a wider discussion. Now that we're in October and Halloween is coming closer, I started looking to put together a good Halloween playlist to put into rotation. I've got a couple dozen songs I already have (mix of all genres), but they're really pretty all over the place between kitschy, spooky, etc... but I don't quite have the numbers to cut it down and avoid too much repetition. Two spoiler sets, one with the list that I own and one with some recommendations I've picked up from various sources. As per usual with my own playlists, it's heavy on the Broadway/Soundtrack types.

It's not for a Halloween party or anything in particular, just general October listening and possibly something to put on in the background while giving out candy in a few weeks (so probably too explicit = bad... particularly with a young kid in the house).

There's got to be better ideas out there than what I have. So... what's missing?

two songs I always throw in are Time Warp from Rocky Horror and I've put a spell on you from Hocus Pocus.

Since you have themes in there, Addams Family, Munsters, Tubular Bells from the Exorcist and the Gravediggers theme.

You could also go with "Passion of Lovers" - Bauhaus

Hell, Bauhaus is just good in general.

Type O Negative's work is good. The albums:Bloody Kisses or October Rust have a lot of good material that I listen to during this season of All Hallow's Eve
