Danse Macabre

Where. Is. Thriller?

But seriously props OP. Type O is a great answer. I'm going to add (other than Michael Jackson) the song When You're Evil by Voltaire.

Oh man, let me dig deep into history for this gem:

Switchblade Symphony - Witches

After getting the reference in NOPE, I think Purple People Eaterdeserves a place on the list.

Personally I'd add PJ Harvey's Down By The Water for sheer creepiness factor.

Eels - Fresh Blood

Dead Souls Personally I like the NIN cover from The Crow soundtrack

Any of the many versions of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? I'm partial to the Sleigh Bells version

Toadies - Possum Kingdom

Kind of an inside joke at our house, but the theme to the original Blob. It is so goofy for a terrible "horror" movie. Enjoy!

If you’re a Metal fan, Halloweentown by Dark Divine is a really good song.

Anything by Bear Ghost (well, maybe not the Christmas album). Some more than others but they all have a spooky Halloween feel to them.
