Looking for Halloween music, but want to avoid the cliché and overplayed Thriller and Monster Mash? (YouTube Links) Three Halloween "mix tapes" have been posted over at the AMG blog: 1, 2, 3. (Samples included.) Or, here's another option. (Halloween mixtapes were also discussed recently, on AskMefi).
From the top of my head....
Pink Frost by The Chills
Unsolved Child Murder by The Auteurs

Yeah, I figured the mixtape concept was different enough to deserve its own fpp. :)

No, it was, I was just adding it. Sorry if it seemed a bit snarky.
I'm glad the Groovie Ghoolies are on there. But what about Death Valley '69? Did I miss that one? I remember when I first saw that (around 12 or 13) and thinking it was one of the greatest videos ever. I also had a poster of Freddy Krueger in my room, so take that for what it's worth.

I've just been listening to the Misfits. Lots and lots of Misfits.
...and the Monster Mash.

My god, without misfits and the damned, a halloween comp has no credibility. Seriously. My Chemical Romance? Go straight to the girls locker room.

Or you could check out Rhino's New Wave Halloween which features Ministry in their Depeche Mode wannabe days.

If you're into modern rock, this local radio station is actually playing a really diverse set of halloweeny tunes, and it's being DJ'd by Satan.

In honour of Halloween this year, I am playing E Nomine's Finisteris. Wonderfully gothic, dark and with great beats. You have to love it.
