Some of those are just desperate... The Psychedelic Furs' "Ghost In You"? Yup, it's such a dark and haunting and creepy song, perfect for Halloween(!)

Keep 'em coming guys! [:)]

Minty, what makes you such an authority on what songs are good for a Halloween list? Your opinions mean nothing to anyone but yourself. Why don't you keep them there.

Chill out Marie, I never said my opinion was gospel. But this is what this thread is, right? An [i]opinion</I> thread on what songs are good for Halloween. [:)]

This is not an opinion thread it is a suggestion thread. No one needs your comments that their list has a song that "sticks out like a sore thumb".

You're not stirring up trouble. Thanks for coming up with a timely and useful topic.

You aren't stirring up any trouble. It's great to see what others suggestions are regardless if this topic has been covered before. I already got a few new songs to add to my list.

What about U2's song October to add to the suggestions. I listen to that song often this time of year.

Minty,coming from someone who desperately keeps attempting to promote AFTC and Celine Dion your opinions on music choices are useless. How many more posts are required before you will stop posting here as well?

Life's what you make it.

I second Marie3's vote for October...it captures the mood very nicely, and I also go back to it every year. (BTW, there is a nice live version of it on the newly released Under A Blood Red Sky/Live At Red Rocks reissue.)

My list would also include Oingo Boingo's "Skeletons In The Closet" compilation cd. The whole album sounds like a good Halloween party!

Club80, great pick on "Devil In My Car". BTW, shouldn't Monster (in My Pants) be under Fred Schneider and The Shake Society? I thought it was part of his solo works.
