"This Is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas is wonderful. And while not technically a Halloween song, we always have "Grim Grinning Ghosts" playing while handing out candy to our trick or treaters. I could also listen to "Boo To You" about a million times and still get giddy when it stars over.

So awesome... it's scary!

 

[Nemo14]

Another one of my all-time favorites is 'Ghost Riders In The Sky'. This is a classic, and there have been so many great versions made of this piece. The Johnny Cash version will probably always be my favorite.

Another version of 'Riders' I like is this unique arrangement by the Universtiy of Utah choir. A truely haunting; beautiful take on the song:

 

[Bob Saget]

not the song.....

And this is coming from someone who survives the Ingalls zombie thread?

If you must, just skip to around 8:36 on the Thriller video to bypass the scary & get to the awesome.

 

[Nemo14]

Oh I know you're probably right - I just like the song more than the video.

Thriller
Monster Mash
Werewolves in London
This Is Halloween

The theme music from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The EEE-EEE-EEE from Psycho
The ch-ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-haha from Fridy the 13th

And, of course...
Boo to You parade music
(And the Villain songs, too)

 

[Kramerica]

Rock lobster!!!

This one is always a lot of fun. 'Dead Man's Party' by: Oingo Boingo (Danny Elfman).
Here's the song synchronized with images from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.
