Guys, need help and as ever the good citizens of DS are the ones i turn to. Need to compile a CD for a halloween party. What do i put on it. Nothing grungy or too heavy. Thanks.

The obvious one would be Michael Jackson's Thriller!
Beyond that I'm no help.

Ghostbusters?

Beatfreaks - superfreak, someones watching you

Zombie nation (can't remember the artist)

Monster Mash is a given.

In addition to Thriller, Michael Jackson had two similar songs - 'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary?'

The Exorcist theme tune

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's dead

Or for those lighter moments -

Meatloaf - Bat out of hell
or
The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack (that'll fill an hour or so!)

"Bela lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled"

Super track.

Halloween by Siouxsie and the Banshees sounds about right!

Moloko - Pure Pleasure Seeker. A lot of Moloko's material from Things To Make And Do would work well for a Halloween Bash.

Journey South?

Rudebox - Robbie Williams.

Things that go bump in the night- Allstars

Whats that coming over the hill? Is it a Monster?

Monster- The Automatic

Think it was Kernkraft
