Ministry – “Everyday Is Halloween”
Perhaps the BEST Halloween-related song ever, so it ranks #1 on my list of favorites for Samhain Eve.
(I live with snakes and lizards and other things that go bump in the night…)
The Birthday Party – “Release the Bats”
Nick Cave at his most insane.
(Horror bat, BITE!)
The Cult – “Phoenix”
Spooky psych-out from the band formerly known as Death Cult/ Southern Death Cult (Like a kiss from the lips of Ra that burns on…)
Oingo Boingo – “Dead Man’s Party”
Yes, Danny Elfman did exist before Tim Burton’s films.
(Leave your body and soul at the door…)
Christian Death – “Skeleton Kiss”
Rozz Williams in a wedding dress- what more could you want on Halloween?
(Five more minutes and we’ll all be dead…)
45 Grave – “Riboflavin”
Dinah Cancer = THE reigning queen of deathrock. (Riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, poly-unsaturated blood!)
Chris Isaak – “Voodoo”
Chris Isaak’s first album is SO dark and underrated.
(Dance in a ring of flames…)
Batlord – “Undertaker”
An awesome combo of 60’s garage and spookiness!
(I wanna be your date at your final social call…)
Type O Negative – “Black No. 1”
Any rockstar that models for Playgirl is OK by me.
(Loving you was like loving the dead…)
Misfits – “Skulls”
No New York Halloween would be complete without them.
(Hack the heads off little girls and put ‘em on my wall…)
