The Esential Halloween Mixtape by ZME Music

Halloween. Ghouls, specters, vampires, werewolves and candy - these are just a few words that sum up for most the jolly good vibe of All Saints’ Eve. For a special few, though, Halloween means a theme parties, costumes, beer and lots, and lots of music. For these special few, we’ve decided to compile a little mixtape, which should prove to be quite entertaining.

How did pick the song? We’ll scary isn’t enough. I mean, if you kinda think about it, the whole black/death/scream/norw3gian metal scene is somewhat frightening (brutally). So, we decided to pick songs that were more melodically scary and, if possible, didn’t cause you to go into a blood lusting frenzy and eat your dance partner’s still beating heart. No, sirs, we’re playing it safe. Anyhow, here goes nothing:

1. Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass

2. Radiohead - Body Snatchers

3. The Misfits - Halloween

4. Blink 182 - I Miss You

5. Alice Cooper - Black Widow

6. David Bowie - Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

7. Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave

8. Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka

9. Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

10. Michael Jackson - Thriller (typical, but a classic’s a classic, nonetheless)
