Sonic Sunday: The Halloween Mixx

The "Halloween-ish" edition of Sonic Sunday was merely to get you in a proper autumnal mood, but with Halloween nearly here, it's time for the real deal. Whether you're a fan of the campy or creepy, there's something in this mix for everyone.


Tales From the Crypt Theme, Danny Elfman

"Monster Mash," Bobby "Boris" Pickett - I was working in the lab late one night/When my eyes beheld an eerie sight/For my monster from his slab began to rise/And suddenly to my surprise/He did the mash/He did the monster mash

"The Time Warp," Richard O'Brien - With a bit of a mind flip/You're into the time slip/And nothing can ever be the same/You're spaced out on sensation/Like you're under sedation/Let's do the Time Warp again

"Pet Sematary," The Ramones - Under the arc of weather-stained boards/Ancient goblins, and warlords/Come out the ground, not making a sound/The smell of death is all around/And the night when the cold wind blows/No one cares, nobody knows

"Furnace Room Lullaby," Neko Case - I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me/I can't bring a sound from my head though I try/I can't seem to find my way up from the basement/A demon holds my place on earth 'til I die

"Ave Santini" (The Omen Theme), Jerry Goldsmith

"Cry Little Sister," Gerard McMann - A last fire will rise behind those eyes/Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie/Immortal fear, that voice so clear/Through broken walls, that scream I hear

"Dream Warriors," Dokken - I lie awake and dread the lonely nights/I'm not alone/I wonder if these heavy eyes can face the unknown

"Devil Woman," Cliff Muthahumpin' Richard - Crystal ball on the table/Showing the future, the past/Same cat with them evil eyes/You'd better get out of there fast

"Werewolves of London," Warren Zevon - If you hear him howling around your kitchen door/Better not let him in/Little old lady got mutilated late last night/Werewolves of London again

The Munsters Theme, Los Straitjackets

"Fright Night," J. Geils Band - Fright Night (Fright Night)/Who's it gonna be tonight?/Lock your doors and windows tight/Soon you'll all believe I'm right/We're all in for a most frightening night

"I Was A Teenage Werewolf," The Cramps - A Midwest monster of the highest grade/All my teachers thought it was growing pains/Oh, no, no/Somebody stop this pain

"Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)," Concrete Blonde - There's a crack in the mirror and a bloodstain on the bed/Oh, you were a vampire and baby I'm the walking dead

Halloween Theme, John Carpenter

"Halloween," The Misfits - Candy apples and razor blades/Little dead are soon in graves/I remember Halloween/This day anything goes/Burning bodies hanging from poles/I remember Halloween

"Bela Lugosi's Dead," Bauhaus - The bats have left the bell tower/The victims have been bled/Red velvet lines the black box/Bela Lugosi's dead

The Twilight Zone Theme, Marius Constant

"(Everday Is) Halloween," Ministry - Well any time, any place, anywhere that I go/All the people seem to stop and stare/They say 'Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?/You look so absurd, you look so obscene'

"Thriller," Michael Jackson - It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark/Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart/You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it/You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes/You're paralyzed

All of this great music can be purchased at Amazon:

Can I just tell you how much it stinks that my office blocks me from MediaFire? Apparently, they think listening to your Sunday tunes isn't work-related.

They just don't know...
Very nice! Furnace Room Lullaby is a Hallowe'en favourite with me, as well.

Have you heard Ryan Gosling's band Dead Man's Bones yet? They are Hallowe'enish and are far better than your average actor who suddenly decides he's a singer type of band.
