Halloween Challenge - Part II

OK, Part II of the Halloween Challenge

As SOME of you know, every year I collect all my Halloween Songs and put them together, usually on tape, though this year, as with last, I may host them all on my ftp site.

So, Part II of the Halloween Challenge... help me to find the most complete to date set of Halloween Songs.
Listed below are the Halloween Songs I have (that I can think of)
I'll try to put them on my ftp site tonite.
Now I leave it up to you, dear readers, to add to the list.
All songs must fit in with the Halloween Genre in some way.

So.. My List (editted as other people add their suggestions)
First off, I will admit that some of these have more to do than the Halloween Spirit than others, but hey... :)

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare
Apollo 440 - Don't Fear the Reaper
Aqua - Halloween
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Spooky Madness
Blues Brothers - Ghost Riders In The Sky
Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Cryptkeepers - Monster Mash
Castlevania Theme (Heavy Metal Mix)
CCR - Bad Moon Rising
Danny Elfman - This is Halloween
DJ Venom - Halloween (Techno Remix)
Elvira - Zombie Stomp
Harajaku - Phantom of the Opera (Techno Remix)

THANK YOU!!! I watched the Buffy ep recently with that song in it and could NOT remember who does it. :)

Also, LITE ... first thing that springs to mind is "Halloween" by Dave Matthews, but it's not a great song. I'll think more on it, and see what I can come up with.

Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" comes to mind, along with their version of "Monster Mash" and also the "Beetlejuice" theme. Elfman seems to be rather good at this sort of thing. :)

About the only thing I can think of is 'Monster Mash,' and the soundtrack of 'Rocky Horror.' And, oh look--you already have 'em both.

I've asked a novelty music junkie for suggestions. Two heads are better than one (hey, is that a song title?).

It is, actually. From the Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack. It's by a band called Power Tool, who was actually the Nelson twins and some other people. :)

I know you already have it on your list, but "the Monster Mash" has always been one of my favorites, and I don't know why. :)
