Good Morning All!
Recently I was talking to my fiance about what my next blog would be about. He suggested Halloween music. I looked at him and said, "Marilyn Manson, Orgy, Murderdolls, Static X, The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack." Then he looked at me and said, "Yeah, but is that all there is?" (Insert Sex and the City episode 74). But he has a point. When I think of Halloween music, I think of many of those things above, but I also think of those spooky Halloween Cd's you can get in almost any store. But is that all there truly is? Is that all we have for Halloween music really? Well not so much. There is classical music for Halloween Shocked face? I know. I didn't expect it either!
But apparently such a thing does exist. It's actually a pretty good idea if you want to go against the grain. I have always found that older music has more of a creepier vibe than the mainstream music of Halloween does. I mean sure it's nice to hear Thriller, The Addams Family theme song, I put a spell on you, Sweet Dreams are made of these (either version, but most think of Manson's.). But every now and again it's not too bad to switch it up. Below, are some classical songs that give a spook, and some popular spook songs. Let me ask you ladies and gentlemen, What's your favorite Halloween song?
(Mozart Requiem Dies Irae)
(Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ)
(Grieg- In the hall of the mountain king)
(This is Halloween- The Nightmare Before Christmas)
(The Addam Family Theme Song)
