Type O Negative's "Bloody Kisses"

I went looking for trouble and boy - i found her
She's in love with herself - she likes the dark
on her milk white neck - the Devil's mark
Now it's all Hallows Eve - the moon is full
will she trick or treat - i bet she will
she will - happy halloween - baby
She's got a date at midnight - with Nosferatu
oh baby, Lilly Munster - ain't got nothing on you
Well when i called her evil - she just laughed
well cast that spell on me - boo bitch craft
Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
you can't go out 'cause your roots are showing
dye em black - dye em black

For some weird Euro-horror music, check out some of the themes from Goblin, which did music for Dawn of the Dead, Deep Red and Suspiria, among others.
Also, the X-Entertainment site has a jukebox full of Halloween songs that contains a lot of what's been mentioned here. And they're all free and downloadable!

Disney put out the entire soundtrack to the Haunted Mansion a while back. Amazon shows some "Soundtrack" version with other music on it, but I have a CD with the whole "Grim Grinning Ghosts" track for the ride. about 20 minutes long....

I played the following music into the street last night for trick or treaters. I only had about 5 minutes to put it together, so it's not definitive.
Goblin - "Suspiria" (from Suspiria)
Alejandro Amenábar - "The Attic" and "They Are Everywhere" (from The Others)
RZA - "Ghost Dog Theme" and "Dead Birds" (from Ghost Dog)
Dominic Harlan - "Musica Ricercata, II" (from Eyes Wide Shut)
Money Mark - "Spooky" (from Mark's Keyboard Repair)
Air - "Cemetery Party" (from The Virgin Suicides)
Joe Hisaishi - "Procession of the Spirits" (from Spirited Away)

DVD Talk Gold Edition
"Dinner with Drac pt. 1" and "Dinner with Drac Pt. 2" by Zacherle
Kind of like "Monster Mash" but better.
I have no idea whether this is available for purchase - I listen to a scratchy 45 from 1958 or so.

Nox Arcana also has some pretty creepy music...check 'em out.

Here it is Halloween day and no one's bumped this? For shame.
My sole contribution for this year:
Jonathan Coulton's "RE: Your Brains" - It's about a year old, but I just discovered it over the weekend. And it cracks me up. It's sung from the perspective of a zombie who is negotiating with a former co-worker regarding the eating of his brain. It's catchy. It's funny. It's about zombies. It has it all.
"I'm not a monster, Tom
Well, technically I am"

You can download it for free here.

Not necessarily an appropriate selection but bloody hell, that intro to "What I've Done" by Linkin Park always has me thinkin' it was ripped off from one of the Halloween movies.
