There are lots of versions on you-tube. I thought this one was a little more light-hearted:



There is also one by Trent Reznor.

Also, "Danse Macabre" and "Night on Bald Mountain" (if you want any other scary classical music.) I only know these from Disney movies, LOL.

Halloween theme (1st Halloween movie) by John Carpenter
(THE classic!)

Just about anything by Nox Arcana, such as:
Hidden Horrors
Necronomicon
Nocturne
Sanctuary of Shadows

Adrian von Ziegler has some groovy dark instrumental stuff on youtube, or just plug in "dark music" or "Halloween music" on youtube, you can put on whole albums and just let 'em rip...

Or really ROCK OUT:

Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
(my personal fav)

Black #1 by Type O Negative

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Black Juju by Alice Cooper

Happy Halloween!

19. American Horror Story theme songs and Unsolved Mysteries theme song
Tue Oct 25, 2016, 10:36 PM

American Horror Story has some different variations on the theme song each season, but all are creepy. Unsolved Mysteries theme song always stands out in my mind as creepy. I remember watching unsolved mysteries in the dark and by myself as a kid and feeling kind of creeped out.

20. Penny Dreadful theme song

Not such a scary song, but reminds me of the show and that was about witches, vampires, werewolves, frankenstein, etc.

Everybody by Back Street Boys... doesn't sound Halloweeny, but it is a good party song and video for it is very Halloweeny so any that has seen the video will think of Halloween.

I'm sure someone has had to have said Thriller already.

Ghosts N Stuff from Deadmau5 is a good dance song too. Also Moar Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmau5.
