Halloween's a month away but you can never be too well prepared. PYF songs for ghosts to dance to and/or creepy music you find genuinely unsettling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2rwxs1gH9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UbGtjnluyY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvFzC2_6I1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTljpH7cfW8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfkGc_Ky7x8 an overdue owl has a new favorite as of 14:31 on Sep 8, 2014 |

The soundtracks to the Myst series always scared the piss out of me when I was a kid. Technically they were suitable for ages 3+ because there was no sex or violence in them, but they were really unsettling! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVIBbYYzNw8

Personally, I think it's a big missed opportunity that this thread's title doesn't have the word "skeletunes" instead of "skelesongs". Anyways, time for some Halloween metal from Acid Witch! Stoned to the Grave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0zo9TL3H40 Trick or Treat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RE5e3zYDMc Swamp Spells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE7iQs23y6I Witchblood Cult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPj44KfZx38

marlowe can you go posted:Is there a name for this type of music? It makes me so uncomfortable, but that's really interesting. Well, for Sunn O))) it's quite unlike what they usually do (downtuned guitar + downtuned bass drone jams), but Keith Fullerton Whitman has done work in the artsy electronic/free improv area before, and Gulaggh are total loving nihilists. Funny story though, that album uses the live screams of mental patients, men, women and children. With that piece of information out there, rumors began to circulate about torture and whatnot. As it turns out, all the patients volunteered to be recorded screaming, but the hospital only allowed it because one of the band members told them they were going to use the recordings for some Western Classical bullshit. There's a whole interview about the album's creation. Speaking of Western Classical bullshit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XfeWp2y1Lk

Bob Drake is one of my favorite lunatics, and The Skull Mailbox and Other Horrors is his masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXyK032mOx8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvL4OWDzAJc Edit: And as far as great unsettling atmospheric pieces go—I used to have a several hours-long playlist of ambient music I'd put on to fall asleep to, and had to remove "Shadow" by Brian Eno from it after it woke me up and scared the hell out of me in the middle of the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9no518C05I Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 19:31 on Sep 9, 2014 |

This is all good ambient stuff, but we need more things for the Halloween party. Boingo got posted in the OP, but I've always preferred No One Lives Forever for my party songs about death. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cAQCNvybcXk And a "horror" classic, Grim Grinning Ghosts - because why be sad or mad when you're dead? http://youtube.com/watch?v=xT35bwYah_A

Some personal faves from Halloweens past Ween - Spinal Meningitis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXV71xzDdJE The OG Haunted Mansion the first ~2 minutes are bad rear end, the rest is 70's weirdness but not without it's strange charm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSaqSVi--Ms Orbital - The Box Not as creepy but it does get dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cONv26K0vL8 Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner more a "the 60's were hosed" song, but kinda creepy, ignore the pro-Rhodesia images of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvTv-I2Y390

Threnody has already been mentioned, so take Pendercki's Polymorphia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ADRsVpk0JE And The Dream of Jacob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOTQ9TVkG98 He's very good at causing anxiety with his music. Ennio Morricone's theme for Carpenter's The Thing always sends spines up my tingles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFc7D0ZoCc But hey, here's some stuff a bit more fitting for a spooky skeleton party with your spooky skelepals. Tom Waits' Underground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80AQW6zqP9E And Modest Mouse's Alone Down There, because it's about HELL and SATAN and spooky stuff like that (and also the creepy whispering part under the main vocals that's easier to hear with headphones): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VaABiNktNQ And also their song Wild Pack of Family Dogs. Spooky mostly because of the lyrics, even though the music is fairly upbeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxTCx-yGM8g Finally, I like listening to this when I'm about to write something creepy. It's a spoken word track from Dutch black metal band Dodecahedron, Descending Jacob's Ladder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVv_oN3HB7s The whole album is full of spooky, atmospheric stuff. If you're into black metal, check it out.

Graveyard Train (Bandcamp link) might be appropriate music for a Halloween party. They describe themselves as 'alternate horror country'. Mummy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O4BnIW6dIM Ballad for Beelzebub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj6Q0xRW5bQ Ghost Train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3yI3YjX7R8 And I always thought "The Regulator" by Clutch had a spooky vibe to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ziH7PfCmOY

Polybius91 posted:Throbbing Gristle has put out some pretty creepy stuff. This song legitimately freaks me the gently caress out. My friend got burned severely in a car crash and ended up dying from it. I went and visited her before she died, my freshman year of high school. This song's lyrics remind me of that poo poo and sent me into a freaked out episode last year. It's strange how a song can do that. :/
