Speaking of German Gothic Opera Rock...anyone ever hear of Manowar?
Because once you cross that bridge, my friend, the ghost is through, his power ends.

Heard of Manowar, but we don't have any to listen to..

Here's some more...you know Metallica has done some good Halloween tunes! They've got 'Blackened,' 'Master of Puppets,' 'Enter Sandman,' 'Harvester of Sorrow,' 'To Live is to Die,' 'Leper Messiah,' and 'The Thing That Should Not Be'

Godsmack has whipped out a few with 'Black Magick,' 'Vampires,' 'Voodoo,' and 'Releasing the Demons'...

Of course AC/DC with their 'If You Want Blood (You Got It),' 'Hell's Bells,' 'Highway to Hell,' 'Thunderstruck,' and 'Night Prowler'...

I've gotta add the Charlie Daniel's Band for 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' (I can't help but love that one :wink: ) and 'The Legend of the Wooley Swamp'

Alice In Chains, 'Them Bones'
The Rolling Stones, 'Sympathy For the Devil' and 'Dancing With Mr. D'
Van Halen, 'Running With the Devil'
Jimi Hendrix, 'Voodoo Chile' (1st song our sons ever heard :D )

Whew...I could go on and on here. :lol:

The Lemonheads did an awesome soulful ballad style cover of the Misfits' "Skulls" I put it on my Halloween soundrack every year, it cracks me up.

And as a fellow member of the "Three decades of rocking out" club (I'm 31) I've got to give you guys props for the mentions of the Mistfits and Danzing and Type O Negative and Gwar. It's like reliving high school.

Oh, and speaking of high school, Anthrax's Black Lodge is the shizzy, based on a Stephen King story* (I can't remember which one).

*EDIT: I was wrong, it's actually based on David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" I love the interweb.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

Here is one of my favorite bands from the 70's & early 80's...not to mention they have the best logo in the history of music IMO ! :P
Turn it upside down & it still spells the bands name....it's great !
I guess they could be in relation to Halloween to a degree huh ?

The German metal band Helloween!!!
They are fairly popular in Europe but sadly, America hasn't embraced them yet, even after 20 years! But they still put jack-o-lanterns on their album covers.
And they even have a 10+ minute song called "Halloween," as a previous post mentioned.
All fans of Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Megadeth, and European metal in general should give them a listen sometime.

I agree that the Misfits are the ultimate Halloween band, but don't count out Danzig's follow up project Samhain. Sure Danzig can beat a dead horse, but he used to do it with style.
When I was in college, a friend of mine had a weekly punk rock show on the university station called Mystery Playhouse. I have a tape from 1991 (I think) of the Halloween show that I listen to every year to get in the Halloween mood. Two solid hours of halloween goodness: Misfits, Ghoul Squad, Ed Gein's Car, etc., some clips from a Scooby Doo read-along book/record, a track from the Bloodfeast soundtrack (a Hershel Gordon Lewis film if I'm not mistaken) and a hundred other creepy, silly, and fun horror and Halloween related treats. The quality of the recording is beginning to go, but that kind of adds to it.
Say goodbye to all this--and hello to oblivion...

Ya know... I read posts like this and I wonder, just what IS Halloween to everyone???

Ooga... I'm sorry, call it a flaw of mine but I will never understand the Japanese!

Type O Negative, TO ME, is the consumate Halloween band!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED 'Slipknot's' first album but thought they got awfully whimpy after that.

Just exactly makes KISS, Slipknot and Alice Cooper "Halloween" bands other than Masks and make-up?

I was NEVER into the "Monster Mash" type thing.... or anything resembling it! And if one doesn't understand the difference between "Rock n' Roll" and out and out "ROCK", one never will.

To me... answering the question, "Just what IS Halloween music", all one has to do is listen to Type O Negative's 'World Coming Down' Album and one will KNOW!

The Type O Negative albums Bloody Kisses and October Rust are very appropriate for October/Halloween.
