I love alot of the music already posted by other members
I adore the Four Seasons by Vivaldi
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven
Bolero by Ravel
In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Peer Gynt Suite No.1:
Funeral March Of A Marionette - Arthur Fiedler
Danse Macabre
Toccata And Fugue In D Minor, BWV 565 by Bach on Organ
Just about anything by Danny Elfman he did all the music for Nightmare before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, Sleepy Hollow, and Beetle Juice
There are sooo many great hallowen songs out there....one of my favorites is a song on an album put out by Disney in the 60's it was a Haunted mansion Album one side was a story as told by the Ghost Host from the actual ride and a Donald Duck Halloween...there is a song on that album that is Trick Or Treat for Halloween ....Anyone else remember it?

My creepy fave is Carl Orff's Carmina Burana....
part of the opera has been used in numerous scary movies and video games! If you are not sure what it if Google it.
Another good one is Midnight Syndicate....

I like this thread! Im gonna have to find some of this music and make my own compilation CD of Halloween music!! For me though, I love the theme from Halloween; This Is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas; Monster Mash of course!; and I Put A Spell on You; Alot of the times I just love to listen to the spooky sound effects CD's and that will do the trick just fine to get me in the mood....for Halloween, not as Boo put it, horizontal exercise hahahahahaha

Ramble On- Led Zeppelin

This song is based in the middle of Fall and based around the Hobbit/ Lord of the Rings. What an amazing song to get me in the mood every time!

For me it's definitely Heart "Magic Man" and Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear The Reaper". Probably because those were both popular tunes back in the 70's when I was a kid. I'm convinced that I must have heard Magic Man while trick or treating as a kid because no matter what time of year it is, if I hear that song suddenly it's Halloween.

That was very poorly worded. It's late. I'm tired.
