Re: OT: Stones and non Stones Halloween Music and building a Haunted House
Date: October 7, 2009 02:18
This is our family's 30th Annual Halloween Party this year. I play in three bands in the basement, we have the entire house decorated, graveyard out in front of the house, the whole nine yards. We also have a "movie room" with the original black and white Bela Lugosi/Boris Karloff movies like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein ( which is a holiday CLASSIC, rent it today! )
As for music, I've got about four hours worth on my iPod. Pick up one of the Disney Haunted House CDs which has a large amount of ghostly laughter, witches cackles, monster sounds, etc., which you can have after every song.
As for the songs, you can't go wrong with:
MONSTER MASH - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
HAUNTED HOUSE - "Jumpin'" Jean Simmons
SPOOKIE BOOGIE - Gentle Giant
WEREWOLVES OF LONDON - Warren Zevon
THRILLER - Michael Jackson
BORIS THE SPIDER - The Who
FRANKENSTEIN - Edgar Winter
STRANGE BREW - Cream
Of course, SFTD, although any Stones song is nice at a party
I play a good amount of early Doors as well, just seems to fit, as well as Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa, etc.
And, from all of us goblins and ghouls here in Atlanta....BOO, Y'ALL!!!!
