your choice of one singular Halloween track

Anthems or ambiance, these are the tones that rattle your bones.

I actually like Panic At the Disco version more, perhaps because it sounds more like the original (which, admittedly, is not the most creative way of doing a cover, but none the less...).

LINK, LINK! :wink:

That's the poin tof this thread, more than words of music, actual good renditions people may be familiar with ..even unwittingly!

& we end up with a jukebox thread!

In my oppinion Panic! at the Disco doesnt deliver the spoke parts right. It sounds kind of monotone throughout the whole song really.

definitely agree it lacks the soul & orchestral quality of the original, however that link may siply have just been poor quality!? :? ..& therefore didn't gee me up!

(sound quality & me, don't go there) :roll: :lol:

Great pick, CorpseBride. Any Nekromantics song would be fitting for Halloween, but that one is specifically about our favorite holiday. Excellent.

The second runner up is....

Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
I love that one!! and anothe that makes me think of Halloween is
Carmina Burana - O Fortuna i k now its not realy a Holloween song but its got that feel to it for me.
and for sure this is Halloween, but for outside crepy music I love the Halloween sound track.

Ok, a bit of a girly thing but here we go:
One of my favorite Halloween movies is 'Practical Magic'
This Stevie Nicks song always puts me in the mood:

I have heard the song in good quaility and it just lacks the soul and orchestral quality as you mentioned.

However I must not tell lies, I do have another song that is almost a must for me on Halloween.

Halloween Original theme.

This comes straight from the movie and is availible on iTunes :)

I also can't help but add this in...just a creepy song all together

The Fog main theme Also composed and done by John Carpenter :)

The song that I most associate with Halloween is The Munsters theme tune.

Mainly because years ago Halloween wasn't a big deal and the only H music I can remember from when I was young is tv theme tunes such as Scooby Doo, The Addams Family and The Munsters.

Incidentally, This is Halloween is on the up coming Just Dance 3.

Ok, not a fan of the Panic! at the Disco version. Seems a bit flaccid.

That said, I'm pretty sure this is one Halloween anthem I listen to every year. It never gets old, and never fails to get me excited for Halloween. These are lyrics I can surely relate to. Everyone hail to the pumpkin song.

I was gonna say the same thing, but you have obviously beat me to it!! The lyrics are even my profile signature, LOL
