Just for the heck of it, I decided to build a YouTube playlist of Halloween rock for mostly my own amusement.  It's a work in progress so I'm open to suggestions as to what to add to it and wanted to hear what y'all had to say. 

I will update the list here as I tweak the playlist a little more.  I'm still looking for better versions of a few of these songs.  You may have noticed that the music is tending more towards rock, and this is how it started, but I'm starting to branch out a bit more (which is why classics like "Monster Mash" and "Purple People Eater" aren't included just yet)
You can listen to specific tracks by clicking here

Moon over Bourbon Street by (was it Sting?)

Fresh Aire has done a couple of Halloween albums, from classics to REAL classics (like Monster Mash, and the themes from The Munsters and The Addams Family).

There was an old, old song called (I believe) Haunted House, and if you get a chance to look up a song called Timothy; while not really Halloweeny, it is kinda gruesome (if it really means what I was told it means).

ooo.. some very nice selections here.  Will audioly peruse them ASAP. 

Detourne_me: yes it is a cover.  Both versions are good, but this one has a slightly more creepy edge to it.
