Maybe I'm showing my age, but I still love The Monster Mash. :)

The "electric jug"? It renders his work unlistenable.

This toothless bastard, and his Elevators deserve to be forgotten.

Give me Syd Barrett's Astronomy Domine.

Classic. Must be posted.

Ministry - Everyday is Halloween

Well I let their teeny minds think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
Cos halloween is everyday
It's everyday

O, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

luv count floyd. but i wonder if the edgar winter group's frankenstein can really be called a halloween song, in that it was called frankenstein only because they put two songs (e.g., sewed them) together into one. but anytime you hear frankenstein it's good.

but, this is scary, kids: mike tyson and bobby brown sing the monster mash.

(ps, sorry, i already blogwhored this on the previous open thread. trick or treat!)

The jug is what made the Elevators interesting/unique, IMHO. But I could've sworn they were a Houston band (moved to SF) ...

Nothing says spooky as having Charlie M providing some of the lyrics.

Also like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ridt2xh8I, video made with images from JTHM and 3 Days Grace.

Ghastly Stomp
i cranked this up at my little halloween shin dig. i wore my dick cheney outfit for about 20 min , i had to get out of that shit.

Not scary, not spooky. Just a good break up song, Halloween based, with the back story attached from Richard Shindell.

He says Austin too. I didn't even know that Austin had a music scene back then ... Houston was known as "Space City" back then, for a reason. :-)

Halloween brings out the metal in me.

Kinda scary; pretty political:
Black Sabbath, War Pigs
Black Sabbath, Megalomania
Iron Maiden, The Prisoner

Just kinda scary:
Judas Priest, The Ripper (amateur video not bad)

For the Bush Junta:

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow therell be hell to pay

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.

..Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.

Now the d and the a and the m
And the n and the a
And the t and the i-o-n
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

Annie Lennox - Love song for a vampire Live

Thanks for posting this Roky stuff, though I was kind of hoping it would have been "night of the vampire". There is a really good documentary on him out now, "You're Gonna Miss Me".

He's doing a show in TX and 2 in CA. And the rest listed on his site are in Sweden, Finland and Norway. Doesn't help me much here in VT! And the Sweden shows are sold out already!!

Oooooh, so many...!

The Damned, "Curtain Call" - 16 minutes of eerie brilliance

Bauhaus, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" - 9 minutes of gloomy brilliance (if that's possible)

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - anything by him is great; compared to Hawkins, Ozzy Osbourne is an amateur

Ozzy Osbourne, "Crazy Train" "Bark At The Moon" - that being said, John O. has some great songs

Iron Maiden, "Murders In The Rue Morgue" "Phantom Of The Opera" "Hallowed Be Thy Name" "The Number Of The Beast" - heck, their 2nd, 3rd and 4th albums are all Hallowe'en greats

Tom Petty, "Zombie Zoo" - I'm not a fan of his, but that song works

The Cramps, "Creature From The Black Leather Lagoon" "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" - any Cramps album is great for Hallowe'en (and Poison Ivy is the most underrated guitarist in rock music history)

Warren Zevon, "Werewolves Of London" - Why has *no one* mentioned this one yet?

Reverend Horton Heat, "The Hallowe'en Dance" - rockabilly, psychobilly, sludgeabilly; who cares what you call it, it's all good

Headstones, "Cemetary" - any song with these lyrics has to be interesting:
"Went down to the cemetary, looking for love/Got there and my baby was buried, I had to dig her up"

The Silencers, "Blue Desire" - not too famous in North America, these Scots have made interesting music for 25 years (as The Silencers and Fingerprintz)

The Brian Setzer Orchestra, "Hoodoo Voodoo Doll" - man, does this swing!

Stevie Ray Vaughn, "Voodoo Child" - unlike Hendrix, you can understand what he's singing but with equally good guitar playing

Stevie Wonder, "Superstition" - I like the SRV version, but Stevie's version works better

Golden Earring, "Twilight Zone" - surreal, for real

Men At Work, "Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive" - I always liked that group and especially this song

Morphine, "Buena" "Honey White" - creepy, and not a treble note to be heard...

Suicidal Tendencies, "Institutionalized" "Trip At The Brain" - Cyco Mike still rocks

Chris De Burgh, "Spanish Train" "The Devil's Eye" "Don't Pay The Ferryman" - he's not to everyone's taste, but these songs will grab you

And that's only a partial list.

Damien - Right on!

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

The Church -Under the milky way

Prodigy - Breathe

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

Prodigy - Breathe

"Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" by Tracy Jordan!! ("monster mash" meets "thriller" meets your favorite klezmer combo).

P.S. If you see the movie "You're gonna Miss Me", you'll realize that it's pretty amazing that Roky Erikson's doing ANYTHING, to say nothing of touring. It's pretty inspirational that he's been able to pull himself together.
