It’s spooky
time again! Halloween is close as hell and we can’t wait to give you the horror
of your lives. Musically there are many bloody brilliant treasures dealing with
the most exciting time of the year (‘Thriller’ is indeed not the only song
about monsters). In the following you find the perfect collection of creepy
tunes which will spice up your very own scary party.
7) Plain
White T - Pet Sematary
For the ‘Frankenweenie
Unleashed’-soundtrack the five guys from Chicago
covered the Ramones classic about a graveyard for the human’s dearest friends. Admittedly,
nothing comes close to the original but id definitely could have been worse.
6) Stars - I
Died So I Could Haunt You
This is
quite an euphemistic view on death but combined with the rock tunes and the
catchy synth-chorus it actually is kind of a funny song.
5) The
Smiths - Cemetery Gates
These guys
from Manchester
must not be forgotten when planning a Halloween-party. Ironically, this
tune dealing with the final rest is one of the more cheerful ones from
this brilliant band.
4) The Cure - Lullaby
The video
for this was considered one of the spookiest of the lovely 80s. Well…if you
dare, have a look yourself, but beware: some of you might get nightmares from
the view of Robert Smith covered in spider webs.
3) Karen
Elson - The Ghost Who Walks
For some
she is the “Queen of Creepy” and this song proves that she is at least to some
extent. Enjoy the haunting arrangements and spooky vocals from this redhead.
2) Yeah
Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll
The title
says it. There is nothing more to add.
1) Dead Man’s
Bones - Pa Pa Power
It was hard
to decide on only one exciting tune by this incredible duo, but the following
has exactly subtle undertone which makes the difference between a good
Halloween-party and a horribly good one. By the way, for those of you who haven’t
recognised yet, the one of the singers of this amazing band is no one else than
American actor Ryan Gosling.
