About this time every year I search the internet to find a few new songs for my Halloween playlist and stumbled on your site. While I’m not a big fan of Metal, you had some good selections that I’ll be adding onto my collection. I appreciate that you had Home by the Sea by Genesis… I think that’s one of the great unknown ghost stories in classic rock. I recommend you check out Homeland by John Hiatt and Further On Down the Road by Bruce Springsteen for more along those lines.
My all time favorite is Harvest Moon by Jason and The Scorchers, which is a great cow-punk butt-kicker that invokes frost on pumpkins and ghosts rising from the ground. Its very much along the lines of Mojo Nixon.
I can share some others with you if you’re interested.
Cheers and Happy Halloween!
Dave, thanks for the reply and the suggestions! Going to look into your recommendations this week… I’m always on the lookout for more creepy tunes. I have two more going live tonight, one atmospheric metal and the other more novelty but classic country. I should definitely try to branch out a little more, but I’m most proficient in rock /metal. Thanks again!
