diablo175 8,149 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Crunchee's post about seasonal music got me to thinking about more timely seasonal music, as in October/Halloween music! Aside from the usual slew of soundtracks to TV shows & horror movies and the schlocky Bobby Pickett/Dr Demento fare, here are some some surprisingly good musical haunts for your Halloween playlists : The Floyd track was discovered one night when my high school bestie made me listen to this with earphones after a round of partaking of some decent local tree. Scared the piss outta me! Still love this tune! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne couldn't rescue that and, in fact, may have contributed to how bad it was. Don't get me wrong, I liked Fastway but there's nothing on that soundtrack that inspires fear. Other than the prospect of having to sit through that film again. 🤣 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crunchee 5,402 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If I wanna get into the Halloween "spirit" (so to speak), I listen to some ominous and foreboding Psychobilly favorites to set the mood...like most anything from The Cramps: Some selections of Reverend Horton Heat's music will do, too: Of course, can't forget Link Wray, either: 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Haynie 12,204 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) When Moving Pictures came out Witch Hunt was the one song they could not play live because of all the synth parts. As technology advanced they were finally able to play it in front of an audience, so they did. Edited October 27, 2020 by Steve Haynie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
