Whether your Halloween plans include haunting the streets or lurking around your own home, a good playlist is essential. I spent some time curating a very Byronic one, heavy on the retro darkwave and post-punk sounds that I love, to soundtrack my spooky shenanigans. Since the Eve of All Hallows is the only time a year when other people don't seem to mind listening to the same music as me, I figure my playlist is worth sharing. Comments are encouraged (especially if I missed something)!
Siouxsie & the Banshees, "Halloween"
Ministry, "Every Day Is Halloween"
Dead or Alive, "Something in My House"
Killing Joke, "Night Time"
Echo & the Bunnymen, "People Are Strange"
The Cure, "Lullaby"
Gary Numan, "Asylum"
Rasputina, "Transylvanian Concubine (Yes Sir, Mr. Sir Mix)"
Concrete Blonde, "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)"
Depeche Mode, "Black Celebration"
Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party"
Twin Tribes, "Shadows"
Bauhaus, "Bela Lugosi Is Dead (The Hunger Mix)"
Dave Ball and Jon Savage, "Dead Neon"
My only addition to your music play list is, of course John & Yoko's "Two Virgins" album of spooky noise as I tell you EVERY year.
