Obligatory Halloween Megamix 2007

Post the songs that get you in the groove for Halloween here.

All genres are welcomed. We have probably done this in the past, so let's make it new for 2007. If its dark, grumbley voiced or just a Monster Jam, let me know what gets you psyched for Halloween.

Here are songs I recommend

1)Geto Boys- Mind is Playin' Tricks on Me

2)White Zombie- Welcome to Planet MF/Psychoholc Slag (any song that excerpts Urotsukidoji is definately Halloween material)

3) House of Pain- Back from the Dead (Just because)

4)Deathline International- My Friend is Dead

5)TV on the Radio- Wolf Like Me


I'd love to hear others...

Since you mentioned Whit Zombie, I'm surprised you didn't have "Living Dead Girl"?

The whole of The Cure's Disintegration. Excellent listening this time of year.

That probably is their best choice.. with Dragula being a close second. I just have fond memories of their first album.

I agree fully and completly about Nature trail to Hell in 3D. I was wondering if we're having that we can also include Midnight Star?

"I want to know! I want to knoooooow! Midnight Star!"

Hell you want obvious why not "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon?

Back to Back Ass-Kickery in the form of:
(1) Alice Cooper's "Man Behind the Mask", and
(2) Dokken's "Dream Warriors".

Hmmm, how pissed is Michael Myers that nobody's singing songs about him?

Seriously, I'll add:
Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand.
The Specials - Ghost Town.

Are you going for mood, lyrical references, or both?

"Death Valley 69" by Sonic Youth
"I Put a Spell on You" by CCR (I like it better than the Screamin' Jay Hawkins version)
Any number of selections from the Nick Cave catalogue (especially circa Let Love In and Murder Ballads)
"Moon Over Bourbon Street" by Sting
"Hungry Wolf" by X (depending on how you take it, I suppose, as with "Wolf Like Me")
"I Bleed" by the Pixies
"Here Come the Martian Martians" or "Abominable Snowman in the Market" by Jonathan Richman

Dream Warriors was the first Nightmare on Elm Street I ever watched all the way through.. and as lame as it was, it still scared the crap out of me. But that didn't stop me from jammin' to Dokken. I still remember seeing the video on MTV and being scared of the movie clips spliced into the video.

OOOoOoOOOoooo.. well played. I always had a thing for the punk chick with the switchblades, so that movie got lots of play out of me.

Lets see:

Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Boris the Spider - the Who

Anything from Rocky Horror or Nightmare Before Xmas (well, not the CHRISTMAS music from it obviously)

I remember liking DMX's stuff because it was dark... and you know.. hell is hot.

So I revisited the songs "Damien" and "The Omen" today. They really were kinda lame.

but to add to the some of the best hip hop horror..

Red and Method Man's Cereal Killer is luckily still a classic.

Tales From the Hood

Anything by the Gravediggaz, though "Pass the Shovel" is my favorite:

Quote:
Yo aaaarrgh as I step out the dust
Yo my reputation is known for bloody objects
The GateKeep prevails
I'm harder as the lyrics on the holy grail
Pick up your skull then blow of the feathers
Yo I'm on a vike and hike for burried treasures
The insane terror remains out ya brain
Stalk the whole range from the darkest plains
It is I a homicidal repraisin' coming at ya
Like an evasion of the one body snatchers
I'm in ya dreams ya thoughts yo, everywhere you walk
When you speak that's the Gravedigga talk
The devils approached ya get roast
Can plant seeds on a grave with dead folks
From the darkest level of death
Rza, pass the shovel and step

[Rza]
Check it, check it
Up from the bottemless pit this is it
Undertaker make beats and shit that sound sick
Me I be the mental disturbed, call the doctor
See if they got the nerve to try to stop the
????? the ?????? ????? man, style that's inhuman
Scream when I sting that ass like Paul Newman
Somebody knock on wood knock, knock, knock
All boyz in the hood drop, drop, drop
When I come through with the shovel don't puzzle
Let 'em out the trouble, motherfuckin' trouble
So like Barney Rubble, back to the gravelpit
Smoke a fat spliff for the graveyard shift
Off wit ya head, off wit ya head
I wanna go where the buffalo's rome
Chop off ya head while I'm puffing on a bone
Yo I got a stack I'm never slacking when I mackin'
Styles go back to the days of Pa Backlan
Catch 'em in a suflex oh no who's next
To get wrecked pass the shovel and step

INTERLUDE:
Hey y'all feel out there
Now we are ready if you are ready, ah yeah
Ah, ah, check this out
Yo, you can't fuck around wit dust boy
Dust will take you away and forget it
Unless you John Wayne or somebody can kick dust's ass

[Poetic]
Uhh, Gravedigga right slowing force of night
Foes are froze likes tears in bright lights
I maintain my range from the bodyguard
Gravediggaz are runnin' like ?????? ??????
GrymReap is deep as the lochness
When ever I'm seen wackin' teens, greased out they jeans
I stomp clues to reign over the fools
Like Monsoon with the lyrical ?????? ??????
Doom is quick 'cause when the God attacks
90 years later you find the artifacts buried in wax
Frozen left on displayed, brothers in the ash like ?????
As you uncover the dark like Jurassic Park
You in search of devils with no heart
Cardiac arrest from stress is the call of death
RzaRect pass the shovel and step

[Rza]
Yo, slap me five on the black hand side
The styles I devise is kept to terrorize
Don't be afraid of the dark watch me spark a flow
That got my crew rippin' up the charts
'Cause I come ferioucsly no one is close to me
I bag bitches like a bag at the grocery
So get binocular so you can clock the
Propular hip-hop phantom of the opera
Now should I say figaro, figaro
The next thing you know I got a pocket full of dough
Yo and what did you expect choppin' mad necks
Pass the shovel and step

Outro: [Rza], (Frukwan)
[Uh, word, Gravediggaz boy from the grave, yeah]
(It ain't no cure chop the bodies all over the floor) (x)4
[Better bring your holy water and crosses
Peter Dinklage gets down to Bushwick*:
Only God Knows
Who's The Biggest
Call Me Crazy

Some more:
Necro - Mutilate the Beat
The Fat Boys - Are You Ready For Freddy?
Ice Cube & Dr DRE - Natural Born Killaz
Dr. Dre - Murder Ink (samples the Halloween theme!)

Also, this isn't really a Halloween song, per sae, but it is the creepiest rap song I've ever heard (you gotta listen to the end to get the full effect).

Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil

I ask that we use the Metallica cover of Die, Die My Darlin. And if we're just talking about just creepy songs why not have "Goodbye Horses" in there also.

Radiohead's "Climbing Up The Walls".

Also, for the last couple of years, the soundtrack to "Irreversible" has done nicely. It's from one half of Daft Punk, and it's very Goblin-esque.

It's kind of a silly choice, but I love "Anything can happen on Halloween" from "The Worst Witch". It involves Tim Curry singing just about every word you can think of that remotely rhymes with "Halloween".

Also, "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

One of the last concerts I saw in the late nineties was the Groovie Ghoulies.

"Vampire Girl" was a decent song from this punk band.
