Finetune Names the Ultimate Halloween Party Songs

Finetune Names the Ultimate Halloween Party Songs

NEWTON, Mass., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Finetune has named the best songs to put revelers into the Halloween spirit. You can listen to the playlist and other Halloween-centric selections at finetune.com.

1. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

Overplayed? Yes. Essential? Definitely! Nothing sets the mood of an apple- bobbing evening like the dark melody produced by the B.O.C.

2. Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell on You

Screamin' Jay could have made the list with any number of his raspy-moaned tunes, but none evokes the uneasiness of his most successful recording.

3. Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party

Oingo Boingo perfected creepiness with this title track. Leave your bodies at the door? Sure. As long as it's included with the coat check.

4. Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

Will everyone love this song? Of course! Who doesn't love a half-French ballad that routes for a mass murderer?

5. Pink Floyd - Careful with that Axe Eugene

While normally relegated to college students trying to find meaning to the Wizard of Oz, Floyd lands squarely on this side of terrifying with this instrumental odyssey.

6. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

What's scarier? That this classic Creedence tune is a theme song for lycanthropy or that millions of people still believe this song is leading them to a restroom?

7. Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave

Although Ozzy Osbourne no longer conjures the image of terror he once did, during the 70's there was no greater symbol of debauchery than Ozzy!

8. Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

Much folklore surrounds this Donovan classic. Rumor aside, this song reverberates harmonic creepiness. Who is the Hurdy Gurdy man? We have no idea!

9. Michael Jackson - Thriller

What's more terrifying than Michael Jackson the zombie? Topping the list -- Michael Jackson the den mother.

10. Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to ... set this song on repeat. The devil, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards: throw in a crossroads and you have a deal.

   Other playlist songs include:   11. Santana - Black Magic Woman   12. Rockwell - Somebody's Watchin Me   13. Siouxsie & the Banshees - Voodoo Dolly   14. Sonic Youth - Halloween   15. Jimi Hendrix - VooDoo Child   16. INXS - Devil Inside   17. OutKast - Dracula's Wedding   18. AC/DC - Highway to Hell   19. Edgar Winters Group - Frankenstein   20. Hooters - All You Zombies
