Not meant to usurp any other music thread herein. The idea: the songs don't necessarily have to be scary, but have Halloween related titles, like these first two ...
Witchy Woman
Werewolves of London

Warning: Hubby reports that this is "the opposite of relaxing." Prepare yourself for the downbeat.

You guys are freaking me out and upping the ante off the bat something fierce. Ewwww.
I match your scary selections, and raise you this, from a macabre masterpiece,
Suspiria.

This guy has something lovecraftian about him... Making sounds with his extremities. If I could only get him to play Azatoth's "The Haunter of the Dark”.... the Elder Ones would be pleased!

6> Lovecraftian how? I see (and hear) more Bulwer-Lytton in that rhapsodic rendition.
Oh yeah, Muse! Beat One Toke Over the Line by Gail and Dale from the Lawrence Welk Show, "a modern spiritual" according to Welk.
Muse, I can't believe you posted a song about mowee-wowee, and you said you hadn't experienced any of that I Think, Therefore Who Am I? stuff. Yeah right.

I hadn't! A friend of mine in his 60s sent me a link to it only the other day, along with others, including some by the Seekers. It all resonated because I'd read I think, therefore who am I?. Otherwise it wouldn't have meant much.

#5 'Rique: Don't open the door! Call the police! Don't go in there! Nooooooo! She went in there! (Haven't seen the movie, but that's what I'm imagining. :)

How about that nitwit who's running for senator in deleware. Tho she'd fit in just fine with windbags like Kerry and co. Cash and Kerry.

Season of the Witch.
Not scary but a bit of Colbert bait with a taste of mystery. Teddy Bear's Picnic.
Monsters. The Monster Mash.
The sound of horror since 1975. Jaws.

Can't hold a candle to Donovan, but this one has great Halloween visuals. (Not a complement to a musical outfit.)

How 'bout this?

Nice one, Gene! No scary song fest is complete w/out the theme music from Jaws or, Tani, from the scariest flick of all time, The Exorcist.
How 'bout The Buoys top 40 hit from 1971 about a mining accident in which the surviving victims must resort to ... cannibalism! Donner Party eat'cher heart out!

The exorcist was filmed at my college (Georgetown). All incoming freshmen had to watch it for orientation. Another movie filmed there was St. Elmo's Fire, not nearly as scary...
22highdesertlady
I still won't see that movie... no way, no how... huh uh... you couldn't pay me to see that or any of the alien flicks. I like my horror in print. I don't need visuals. *shivers*

They filmed a movie (Mr. Holland's Opus) at my high school too! (After I had already graduated of course.)

Ha ha! I just happen to have attended pretty schools! My high school was a big city public high school but it was a beautiful edifice, built by the Works Progress administration in the 30s.
And as far as films at schools go, my boyfriend has me beat all hollow - they filmed Animal House at HIS college AND he was an extra in the toga party scene.

My high school ( a French Collège ) was burned to the ground by savages ( = people who burn schools ) during the revolts in Ivory coast some years ago.

Someday, if you're lucky, bokai, you too will be old and attempting to school the young'uns in the path their music took to come down to them. Don't disparage being old, the alternative is, at this stage of my life, anyway, certainly less than desirable.
However, that song you played reminded me a lot of Mary Hopkin. Not meant to be scary, but... well, those were the days, my friend. And that style can be traced back to this. And even that sound probably goes back into the hinterlands of time. Learn, graciously, don't disparage. There will be plenty of time to disparage the music of your children and grand children.

28> I don't know, bokai. Voltaire's been around a long time. A couple centuries at least. I honestly didn't know he wrote music too.
33highdesertlady
My parents attended that very same high school, Anna! Back in the 50s.
35bokai
Don't worry guys, I kid because I only wish I was as wizened and wise as this illustrious gathering.
And Voltaire has kept up rather well, hasn't he Freeque? He's quite the looker too.

You can count on an old pfart such as myself to blush at the very mention of Francois-Marie Arouet. But those 40 cups of coffee a day he wolfed down; his opposite? Sam: Johnson slurped down oceans of sugared tea. 'Bozzy' merciless on the Great Lexicographer's table manners. SJ ate his tea with alarming rapacity. A waiter once stirred his lemonade with his, shall we say pinky, and the roaring Doktor threw the fellow out of the window for his efforts. I'm getting in all I can because I start 12 hour plus days soon, too soon. I love all this. It makes me keep the whole mess current. Helps me to see the connections between one age and another. A daunting task I admit, but I wouldn't have it otherwise.

What about scary books? Last year I read A Night in the Lonesome October and The Blood Countess around Halloween.

Here are a couple of songs from one of the great horror movies of the seventies. I first saw this movie when it was on a Halloween midnight show on WTBS channel 17 when WTBS was just a local Atlanta UHF station.
I particularly like this one - Over at the Frankenstein Place.
Who can ever forget the first time they saw those heels: stomp, stomp, stomp anyone need a satanic mechanic?

I just found this thread, but every year I have to play the Fairport Convention version of Tam Lin and Susannah Martin. Watch out for evil yellow birds and don't pull roses from gardens guarded by enchanted knights. It will piss off the queen of fairies.
