Halloween's a month away but you can never be too well prepared. PYF songs for ghosts to dance to and/or creepy music you find genuinely unsettling.

Personally, I think it's a big missed opportunity that this thread's title doesn't have the word "skeletunes" instead of "skelesongs".


i was going to say you were DEAD wrong about that but now i am starting to doubt my decision

here's some pleasant music for exploring abandoned houses, fog filled graveyards etc.

This is all good ambient stuff, but we need more things for the Halloween party.

Good point!

Oh man, The Omen is my jam. Excellent.

Something bone chilling to make britgoons feel nostalgic:

This entire album is pretty spooky.

Listening to boards of canada when you're alone at night is a minefield, some of their music is very soothing but then they'll be a track that suddenly makes you acutely aware of just how alone you are.

Here's something beautiful that everyone (alive AND dead) should listen to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM

or sung!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOSQTELS0Is

Zig, zig, zig, Death in cadence,
Striking a tomb with his heel,
Death at midnight plays a dance-tune,
Zig, zig, zag, on his violin.

edit: oops I didn't see the first version had already been linked in that big list up there, but still, at least the vocal version is new!

Excellent creep factor all round guys.

This is a bit different:

wikipedia posted:

The song has a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, a high-pitched scream is heard - this was Billy Beck, but according to the most common legend, it was the voice of an individual being murdered live while the tape was rolling. The "victim's" identity varies greatly depending on the version.

The supposed sources of the scream have included an individual who was killed at some prior time, her scream inexplicably recorded and looped into the track. Another version says that a girl has fallen off the roller coaster and was screaming to her death. Another version tells of a rabbit being killed outside the studio whose scream was accidentally picked up by the band's recording equipment.

The most widespread version of the myth, however, tells that Ester Cordet, who appeared nude on the Honey album cover, had been badly burned by the super-heated honey used for the photo shoot, which occurred simultaneous with the recording session, and her agonized screams were inadvertently captured on tape. A further variation had Cordet suffering permanent disfigurement due to the burns; she interrupted the band's recording session, threatening to sue, at which point the band's manager stabbed her to death in the control room.

An urban legend as it may be, I heard it when I was a kid and it still freaks me out a little. I had the image of that honey accident stuck in my mind for a long time.
