Halloween Music

I spent this past weekend listening to Halloween music while decorating my house. Every year the Halloween festivities in my house starts in September and runs well past October 31st, so I need quite a bit of music to make it through this holiday season. I thought I would share with you my Halloween playlists (yes, I have more than one.... you're probably guessing right now that I'm a FREAK for Halloween) to get you through the holiday as well.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

• Anything from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Monster Mash of course
• Ghost Busters
• The entire Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack
• That Old Black Magic
• Witchcraft.... CLASSIC

CANDY GIVING - aside from the GREAT creepy sound clip cd's (creeking doors, witches laughing, etc.) there are some really great instrumental Halloween cd's that'll conjure memories and make all the ghoulies smile.

• Charlie Brown Theme
• Twilight Zone Theme
• Jaws Theme (this one makes me laugh... hard!)
• Psycho soundtrack
• Friday the 13th soundtrack
• Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack
• The Omen Soundtrack
• The Exorcist - Theme from Tubular Bells

THE PRIVATE COLLECTION - these are just my favorite artists.... honestly, I listen to some of them year round. but they make Halloween feel like Halloween. Their music is incredible!

• Sarah Brightman - her voice is beautiful, amazing and often eerie.
• Nox Arcana - music with haunting sound effects. Beautiful and scary at the same time.... my Halloween staple! It's not Halloween without Nox Arcana!
• Mediaeval Baebes - voices combined with percussion mainly... different and wonderful!
• Haggard - German band with the most amazing music! This one is a MUST LISTEN! Scary, beautiful and something you've never heard before! It's like metal and classical, thrash and symphony... even that description isn't right!
• Midnight Syndicate - I am listening to the Vampyre album right this second (and The 13th Hour is set to play next... LOL). They are my all time Halloween favorite! :)

This is pretty much what you'll find me listening to until Christmas! hahahahaha!
