Thomas Wilburn Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 So every year, my parents host a pumpkin massacre. A whole bunch of people get together, they bring their own pumpkins, and at the end of the night the best carvings win prizes. Someone will walk away with a fake Elvis Presley driver's license this year, among other things. My dad cooks a ton of jambalaya and different desserts. There's going to be Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero playing on a TV somewhere. It's a good time for all. This year, they asked if maybe me and my brother (a guitar player) could get together and provide some music. We've been trying to think of vaguely Halloween-themed songs we could play. Here's a few off the top of my head--any other ideas? The more tangential, the better. Devil's Haircut - Beck Pet Cemetary - Ramones Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash Black Magic Woman - Santana Bad Moon Rising - CCR Psycho Killer - Talking Heads Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon Hellhound on my Trail - Robert Johnson Every Day is Halloween - Ministry Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Four String Riot the myspaces, we hates it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric VB Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Somehow I missed the first go-around, too. I remember a bunch of stuff from a K-Tel album I had as a kid. Can't find it now. K-Tel Presents Funny Favorites is similar, but not quite the same. 1. Purple People Eater - Sheb Wooley 1. Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett 2. Short Shorts - The Bermudas 9. Jolly Green Giant - Lynn Easton 10. Troglodyte (Cave Man) - The Jimmy Castor Bunch I seem to remember other goofy stuff like that from the '50s. One was attributed to "Jumpin' Gene Simmons"; always wondered if that was from the Kiss bassists storied past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzilla Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If your brother likes to wail, and even better if he has a guitar synth hookup, try Steve Hackett's "Vampire with a Healthy Appetite" "Am I enough of a freak to be worth paying to see?"- Separated Out (Marillion) NEW band Old band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Haha... Hallowe'en happens nearly every day for me. It's called "death metal." Take your pick... 1. Behemoth 2. Morbid Angel 3. Decapitated 4. Cannibal Corpse <--- yes, sir... banned in several countries for their graphic cover artwork and ultra-gruesome lyrics 5. Anal C**t <--- bunch of hardcore weirdo fellas from the New England, U.S. area, I think 6. Deicide 7. Sleep Terror <--- great instrumental work, recently got a full band together, complete with the growler 8. Obituary <--- sludgy freaks from Florida 9. Possessed <--- guitarist Larry LaLonde's, of Primus, first band. Coined the term "death metal" in a song of the same name. 10. Bolt Thrower <--- the figure on the right of my icon is the bassist for the veteran English group 11. Cryptopsy <--- possibly the fastest, most precise blast beats anywhere, plus the occasional 'song' in French; they're from Quebec, Canada 12. F**k I'm Dead <--- Steve Irwin would've hated these guys... 13. ??? that's all ??? sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theTragicRich Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 King Diamond's "Halloween" is a tune I always play during the month of october. I suppose you could also gather a bunch of horror movie themes and create a jam around it (the theme from "Halloween" for example). I know I saw Buckethead do something similar, but I can't remember what theme he used... I think he put together a bunch of Star Wars themes/melodies and made a tune out of it.
