Aphex Twin - "Come To Daddy"

I'm going to fill those thin latex gloves with diluted blackcurrant cordial, freeze them, and throw them into large bowls of punch. Lovely frozen, severed, bloodstained hands. Hurrah!

i used the background recording of the disneyland haunted house ride last year at my party. no one's mentioned the cramps??

BAM BAM-WHERE IS YOUR CHILD

Martin wins. And "I Walked With a Zombie" is a must!

the entire misfits first album

the butthole surfers -- "human cannonball" -- rocks & is freaky

suicide -- "Frankie Teardrop" -- again, good for freaking out people

The album "Metabolics Vol 2: Dawn of the Dead" by Mr. Dead, who's a buddy of Mr. Lif.

Also collaborating on the album is Dan the Automator, Prince Paul, and MC Paul Barman.

"amityville (house on the hill)" by lovebug starski
+ lotsa roky erickson

find Coil's version of "Tainted Love"

play the 45 version at 33. fuckin' classic, since the guy sounds like he's dying at either speed, only slowing it down drags out the demise.

"Spooky," Classics 3

Night Shift Sisters- Siouxsie and the Banshees (the JuJu album)

"i need your head" by hasil adkins
"walking dead" by alex chilton
"walking dead" by antiseen (different song)
"night of the phantom" by larry & the blue notes

"clap for the wolfman" by the guess who
(very scary w/ its combination of lycanthropy & venereal disease themes)

"Devil Went Down to Georgia" by uh yeah I don't remember
"Blue Eyed Devil" by Soul Coughing

This is going to be the best halloween party ever!

I'm searching out this stuff right now. Thanks again to everyone.

nick that was the CHARLIE DANIELS BAND!!

Erm, monster mash? but i guess that's prolly already been mentioned!

Too late? Real Fright by Iron Butterfly

Surely not Brian, there is ages to go until Halloween!

Ok good, 'cause that song's a lot of fun and would get people dancing.

anything by the cramps.

Drac's Back by the Bollock Brothers.
