Monster Mash is my favorite

Of course it does, Phill, but I thought there might something "darker"  in that great musical mind of yours..... Kinda like THIS one.....

Re: Halloween Songs - Post Your Faves

It may not be a classic Halloween song, but Steve Hackett's "Love Song to a Vampire" comes to mind:

Re: Halloween Songs - Post Your Faves

I started working on Haunted House, but it hasn't gone so well despite educational assistance from BaldGuitarGuy. 

Here it is covered by John Fogerty.

Keep working on it, Zurf. my friend, because as much as I like John and Creedence and The Rangers, this one don't get it. Looking forward to yours, buddy and while you're workin' here's the great original.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTYnddPvUs

Re: Halloween Songs - Post Your Faves

Sorry Bill, I've moved on to Moondance.  I'm making progress on it, even if it does have a chord very similar to B in it.  Maybe I'll come back around to Haunted House.  I picked it because it's silly and short and in large part because I would really like to learn to play that boogie-woogie lite rhythm and progression.

Great choice, Scott and while we're in the classical genre, how about Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" which has been prominent in a bunch of horror movies....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAQ-fMHFxJQ

The organist was the great E. Power Biggs (Isn't that the coolest name ever?) and he's playing in Freiburg, Germany on FOUR pipe organs simultaneously!!!!!

Bill

PS: "E. POWER BIGGS": Man, I just LOVE saying that name. With a name like that, what other instrument could he have played????/ smile

Re: Halloween Songs - Post Your Faves

Bill - I don't think you linked to it over here, and I can honestly say that I don't think I'd ever heard the whole song.  I knew it was creepy, but after having heard the whole thing I think it belongs here more than with the scouts! 

The Hearse Song:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3qIBHStUc0

*edit to add - Bill, I didn't realize you had posted the lyrics over in the Scouts thread - It had actually popped into my head as an old campfire song too!  I guess my dad has a dark side, because I remember singing this as a kid.  Actually, I think grandma (his mother) sang it with us too.  Just the chorus though!  ha ha ha!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
