a Halloween list...


Happy Halloween everyone! So I was awoken by "Monster Mash" on the radio and figured I'd better post a list of Halloween-ish songs:

1. Halloween - Dave Matthews Band
2. They Are Zombies!!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhh! - Sufjan Stevens
3. Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group
4. (Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
5. Skeleton Song - Kate Nash
6. Cemetery Drive - My Chemical Romance
7. Black Magic Woman - Santana
8. Gravedigger - Dave Matthews
9. Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon (this song has an annoying habit of getting stuck in my head)
10. Halloween - Jonathan Larson (from the RENT soundtrack)

And a moderately amusing two-part list of Halloween-related songs here: http://www.hearya.com/2007/10/08/top-50-halloween-songs-part-1/.

* I got the pumpkin photo off Flickr. And yes, that's Dobby and Severus Snape from Harry Potter. And though they may seemingly have nothing to do with music or Halloween, Alan Rickman does sing and play a pretty scary role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Here's a couple more:
1. Des Moines - Halloween, Alaska (Okay, I don't know if that actually counts, but it's a good song)
2. Vampires in Blue Dresses - Margot & The Nuclear So and So's
3. Little Ghost - The White Stripes
4. Pumpkin Soup - Kate Nash
