View Full Version : Songs for Halloween
Classic Rock 09-07-2004, 10:46 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:
Theres a Ghost in my House
(Owoooooo) Werewolf of London
Don't fear the reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Red Right Hand - well spooky - Nick Cave
Ghost Town - Specials
The theme song from the Addams Family or the Munsters?
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.
The specials, Ghost town
oops sorry Joe, didn't see you suggested it first
Bowie, Scary Monsters
alice cooper - i love the dead
faith no more - surprise you're dead
johnny cash - death and hell/ghost riders in the sky
libertines - horror show

pogues - angel of death
pearl jam - ghost
ramones - death of me

crash test dummies - the ghosts that haunt
smiths - death of a disco dancer
alice in chains - rain when i die/we die young

I'm hoping for a few sing along family favourites too - ones that everyone will know....... keep em coming! Well done so far!
Classic Rock 09-07-2004, 14:38 They don't HAVE to be rock tunes....! Golden oldies too.
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
Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare
Lickable 09-07-2004, 15:42 Doob doob dooby doo do do doo! Ghostbusters!!!!
Rent-a-ghost theme
X-files theme

I approve of your taste Snook. I much prefer Ghost train than the cover of Ghost in you. :thumbsup:
Great minds... eh? :D
