Why so few Halloween songs?
 
I have my traditions, including "Fools and Their Fences" (can't link yet; check it out if you can find it) some of Massive Attack's creepier stuff and of course, Season of the Witch, but it strikes me that we don't have a tradition of music on Halloween, like we do for Christmas. I'm not just talking about carols, though that would be nice, but even singles, like Fairytale of New York or White Christmas.

Best Halloween song.


Trollheart 10-18-2021 08:26 PM

Hmm. Was expecting you to post an ICP track...

The Batlord 10-18-2021 09:49 PM

They have fun ones but that's the best. This is good though.

Well ... duh.

How many people care about "The Monster Mash" past the age of seven? It kinda sucks tbh.

Frownland 10-19-2021 09:52 PM

Monster Mash fans are the type who'll simp for a banger they haven't even heard.

Tristan_Geoff 10-19-2021 10:19 PM

I mean it's a perfectly fine background song for a Halloween party where no one's doing drugs.

It always sucked. Even before it was written.

But of course if you want that dark, scary Halloween atmos, there's only one contender isn't there?

Speaking of mummies... we used to go see these guys every year around this time, so for me these are seasonal Halloween tunes:

There are ten times as many Halloween/Ghoulie themed songs going back to the 50's than there are Christmas songs. OP is ridiculous.
