Our house hosts the annual Halloween Bash, and I do mean bash ... everyone we know makes it over because we're the only neighborhood in our town that the kids trick-or-treat in ... do mostly to the fact that there's a lot of houses with kids (so you know they're all handing out candy), and they're all 'run-from-one-to-the-next' spaced. If you didn't get a real invitation or an e-vite ... consider this your invitation and get your costumed ass to the house on Halloween 'round 'bout darkish. Anyway, last year ... we played the local rock station on the radio ... blah ... shuffle ... super blah, they suck! This year I'm in charge of the music and thought I'd share what I came up with. (four hours of holiday goodness)
Some are classics ... some are homemade (and funny). Some are more recent and some's punk or pop from the seventies. Sounds ... odd? Well, that's what Halloween's about, duh. They're all guaranteed to make you smile, boogie down and bring back some memories of Halloweens passed (death pun intended), and they're all guaranteed to have witches, ghosts, someone being gnawed on, decapitated or stabbed with a lawn dart as the subject ... and they're all nice-n-creepy and player friendly mp3's ... ... ... Oh, and FREE!
Zips split do to sheer size ... These first two are all-genre all-decade free-for-all of ghastly goodness. (No I didn't put songs titled A-M in one and songs titled N-Z in the other zip. They're half and half so if you don't have time to download both you still get a nice random sampling (If you only take one, I suggest the second one "B" because it ended up with most of my favs even though I tried to make it random). I realize that not everyone thinks they NEED four hours of Halloween music. (They're wrong, but that's their prerogative.) And the zombie picscam has been added for your visual enjoyment while you wait for the auditory enjoyment to download.
Due to popular request - All the zips now have mirrors on Mediafire!
Who can say they wouldn't like to see her dead and rotting? http://www.sendspace.com/file/15b76m 13 Songs YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT! (ha ha 13 ... live ... bad pun, sry) (like most women) Ima wear something horribly slutty for the entirety of the party ensuring that Ima get laid once everybody goes home and it's just me and the boy ... this is the song I'm thinking about taking my costume off to ... it's about vampires ...

Once the Boys and Ghouls go home and it's just us sloshy adults that adore the oddest records ever and have a closet affinity for Punk Rockabilly and vinyl and the dance floor ... we'r'a tear that shit up ... with these. (we're a little odd, don't judge.)

Banshee Howling, creepy violins, classical, organs, and random instrumentals to keep you on the edge of your seat. They're intended to be peppered through all the songs above, and not all that entertaining alone one after the other, but if you already have your own play list, or are downloading mine, these are, what I would call: NON-Cheesy tension instigators. 26 Tracks (some no more than a few seconds of screaming). 52 MB Runtime: 00:48 Minutes.
Don't feel like grabbing a whole zip? Fear not ... (ha ha fear ... bad pun, sry) I'm uploading my ultimate favorites separately in single links. These are songs that I listened to even when it's not the season, they are also included in the zips, so don't waste your time on these if you're grabbing those.
Single File - Zombies Ate My Neighbors The afore mentioned lawn dart to the chest song!
Leslie and The Ly's - Zombie Killer Featuring the chorus of zombie children begging "Shoot us in the brain."
The Winks - You're Gonna Die They played SXSW this last year, raw awesomeness.
Greenskeepers - Lotion Song written about The Silence of The Lambs! ... 'nough said.
Brainchild - Ghost Story Sweet little ditty about ghosts and heaven and hell I found on archive.org, and I love her voice. Myspace
Jill Tracy - Evil Night Together Essence of Goth ... No, in a good way.
Corruption is King - Creeps Are Coming No comment ... it's just good?
Turbonegro - All My Friends Are Dead I enjoy this all days of the year.
Imogen Heap - Spooky Immi covering a classic = swoon.
Weird Al Yankovic - Slime Creatures From Outerspace HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA *deep breath* HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I know you know these words! I hadn't heard this in FOREVER, until someone e-mailed me a link to a compilation album about space creatures and this was on there and I sang along (like a dork) and can't wait to bust out the eighties dance moves and showcase my stupidity. You all better know this!
songstowearpantsto.com - Shoot The Zombies Go here for more lols (not necessarily Halloween lols, though, just in general giggles.)
The B-52's - Monster [In My Pants] This'll be much funnier once you've had a few drinks ... promise.
Matchbook Romance - Monsters Okay, we can argue about whether or not this is Halloween appropriate ... but no one can argue it's super awesonaliationary. ... ... Well, you could argue ... but, again, you'd be wrong.
Oh and a special treat (NOT IN ZIP!!! so download me separate)...
