Every day is Halloween, but this month is Halloween officially. So with that said, and a whole month to go. What better time to assemble a community playlist again.

  • Songs should fit relevant genera as best as possible
  • Ideally they should relate to Halloween or related themes
  • Keep posts short and concise.3-4 suggestions per post along with why you think each one fits

Ministry - Every Day is Halloween
Because of course. How could we not start with this new version of the classic released just this year.

Creature Feature -Buried Alive!
Between the band name and the track name. How could it not fit. For those not familiar with Creature Feature, yeah basically I could just post their albums and largely call the playlist done. With tracks like Dem Bones, Aim For the Head, Here There Be Witches, or The Greatest Show Unearthed.

Zombina and the Skeletones - Nobody Likes You When You’re Dead
Zombies, skeletons, undeead. Need I say more? This small goth pop punk outfit from the UK could easily fill a playlist themselves. Punk Rock Vampires Destroy, Dracula Blood, Don’t Go Into The Light, Brain Dead, or Zombie Hop could all qualify and may get suggested later.

I could go on for a few hours. But I’m going to end here for now, to see what others add. :)

    oh wow this sounds fun… let’s see…

    • Joy Division " Dead Souls " - yeah it’s a metaphor, but he’s literally talking about being haunted in his dreams… plus a cover of this song (by Trent!) was in The Crow…
    • Tétrica - Brujería - it’s Spanish for “Witchcraft”… plus the video has clips from “Monster High” lel…
    • She Past Away - La Maldad - another song in Spanish even though they’re from Turkiye… I reckon it’s bc they live in Barcelona? but why wouldn’t they do it in Catalan? I dunno… anyway the title means “The Evil” see translated lyrics.
    • Desenterradas - Ciudad Prohibida - aw wat the hell I might as well go for 3 songs in Spanish… this one’s kinda punky… is that wat death rock means? Anyway the title means “Forbidden City”, it’s about this haunted place where evil spirits live and the lyrics are like watch out or they’ll kill ya. ok next one’s in English I promise
    oops I put one too many
    • Insane Clown Posse - Take It Out On Me - HA! I snuck some ICP in there… but check it out, the music’s kinda goth-y (apparently it samples the “unsolved mysteries” tv show) and the song’s about a haunting but it’s also kinda about abusive relationships I really feel it fr.

    oh wait a max of 4? OK I’ll hide one of em, only look at it if you wanna be transgressive…

      That opening drum and guitar on Dead Souls is iconic. Definitely a fitting pick. She Passed Away has been an absolute favorite for years. Wasn’t aware they were out there in Barcelona along with New Wave Kill IIRC. But definitely digging the Spanish flavor of your picks. How bout a couple more to keep it rolling

      La Bande-son Imaginaire - Macabre
      It’s macabre after all. And with those sinister strings how could it not be appropriate for Halloween or dia de los muertos.

      Prismatic Shapes - El Rey De La Noche
