Wait, I thought that was Squirrel Nut Zippers?

Danse Macabre

[-] flicker@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

Where. Is. Thriller?

But seriously props OP. Type O is a great answer. I'm going to add (other than Michael Jackson) the song When You're Evil by Voltaire.

Alice Cooper - He's back (the man behind the mask)

[-] Damaskox@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Is most of the lyrics I recall of the first song that comes to my mind.

Oh man, let me dig deep into history for this gem:

Switchblade Symphony - Witches

After getting the reference in NOPE, I think Purple People Eaterdeserves a place on the list.

Personally I'd add PJ Harvey's Down By The Water for sheer creepiness factor.

Eels - Fresh Blood

Dead Souls Personally I like the NIN cover from The Crow soundtrack

Any of the many versions of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? I'm partial to the Sleigh Bells version

Toadies - Possum Kingdom

[-] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago
  • Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett
  • Bela Lugosi’s Dead - Bauhaus

Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Bark at The Moon, Scary Little Green Men... Really any of Ozzy Osbourne'a better songs.

[-] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Some that are frequent fliers on these kind of lists but haven't been mentioned yet...

  • Evil Woman - ELO

  • Witchy Woman - Eagles

  • Black Magic Woman - Santana

  • Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie

and finally some non girls-Я-evil songs:

  • Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band

  • Ghostbusters Theme - Ray Parker Jr

  • Werewolves of London - Jackson Browne

[-] Hobart_the_GoKart@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Kind of an inside joke at our house, but the theme to the original Blob. It is so goofy for a terrible "horror" movie. Enjoy!

[-] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

If you’re a Metal fan, Halloweentown by Dark Divine is a really good song.

[-] EsteemedRectangle@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

Do you listen to Weezer?

[-] sqw 1 points 11 months ago

mojo nixon - i’m gonna dig up howlin wolf

[-] boringbisexual@lib.lgbt 1 points 11 months ago

Anything by Bear Ghost (well, maybe not the Christmas album). Some more than others but they all have a spooky Halloween feel to them.

[-] skybreaker@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you for introducing me to this band.

[-] skybreaker@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
