Taking a break from cookie/cake madness to bring you more Halloween music madness. I'm 11 behind, so here we go, mwa ha ha ha ha ha...
Walking With a Ghost - The White Stripes
Howling at the Moon - The Ramones. You could really make a whole Halloween mix with nothing but Ramones songs on it. And I have a rule about only including one song on the list per band, but I am absolutely breaking it for these guys. Their BEST Halloween song deserves to be perhaps #2 or #3 on this list, so look for it in October. Also consider: Sheena is a Punk Rocker (anyone know why?) and Psycho Therapy.
Shout at the Devil - Motley Crue. Mostly this is included because a friend loves her some Crue, and I wanted to give her a shout-out.
Also, she dances in the video like a hybrid of Thriller zombies and the nurses from Silent Hill. (Boys: it might confuse your penis, who won't know if he should be paying attention or running away.)
Day-o, The Banana Boat Song - Harry Belafonte. Goes Hand-in-hand with Shake Seniora, and while they aren't technically scary songs, an entire generation of people associates them wholly with the possession scenes from Beetlejuice.
The Fear - Lily Allen. Ok, not Halloweenie at all, I just love Lily Allen. Carry on.
Them Bones - Alice in Chains. If it's not your particular flavor of AIC, there's also Down in a Hole, We Die Young, or Sludge Factory.
Dracula - Gorillaz
Haunting Me - Stabbing Westward.
Nature Trail to Hell - Weird Al. I think I saved the very best for last today.
My kids love Alice in Chains. Even the teenager who thinks all things that *I* like are suddenly uncool.
So glad you included a song that my boyfriend, Vince Neil, sings. ;)

Trolls have no manners and therefore should be included on a haunted Halloween playlist because they are of the stupid scary variety.
