OK, it's a bit early, I know....but I've just booked a local band called the Rex Pistols to play at the pub on Halloween. They've agreed to play songs that have a horror theme.

I've thought of 'Monster Mash'.....

What songs can you think of which they could play? :evil: :twisted: :twisted: :evil:

Not very scary, but for retro value you could go for the theme to the original Scooby Doo cartoon show...

Some of the tunes from The Rocky Horrors Picture Show might go down well.

Yeah, like songs about death. ;)

My fav would be Ghost in You by Counting Crows, but thats because they're my fav band not very halloween-ish, doubt they'd know that anyway. :D

I approve of your taste Snook. I much prefer Ghost train than the cover of Ghost in you. :thumbsup:
