Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Almost every night I blast the scary sound effects in my room and turn off the light while exploring the vast Internet

Hey everyone..new to the board..long time looker but first time poster haha.
I just HAD to make an account though JUST for this topic! I can't beleive nobody has mentioned AFI (A Fire Inside) for their oh so Halloween vibe in their music (at least their older stuff).

Some albums/songs that totally will remind you of Halloween by AFI:
The entire All Hallow's EP- "Totalimmortal, Fall Children, The Body Who Destroyed the World,
and, of course, Halloween (Misfits cover)"
Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes- "Third Season"
Black Sails in the Sunset- basically whole album
The Art of Drowning- whole album...some stand out like "Morningstar", "The Despair Factor"
(listen to the amazing lyrics), "Wester", "Ever and a Day", and "A
Story at Three"
Sing the Sorrow- I feel this album is themed with Autumn..just look at the cover art.."The
Leaving Song" and "Death of Seasons" are two of my favorites. But I also
love "Now the World" (a B side), "Bleed Black" and "Miseria Cantare (The
Beginning)"
Decemberunderground- Not as much Halloween/autumn influence, but "The Interview"
"Summer Shudder" give me a chilly autumn vibe for some reason

EXPLORE AND ENJOY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND

you people have such great taste!

Here's some tracks by The Alice Rose from Austin, Texas. This is their Halloween 2008 single, "Bloody Mary"/"Witch House", both cool dark Halloween rock.

One band that always ends up on the yearly halloween compilation is Oingo Boingo....I swear I would take out a second mortgage to see them do a reunion tour.

Never got to see them on stage, but they were a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth.

"Nothing bad ever happens to me!"

Here are some samples..

You have AWESOME taste in music.

Different songs by The Misfits also puts me in a Halloween mood. Personal favorites are "Dig Up Her Bones," "Scream," "Descending Angel," and "Hunting Humans." They're classified as horror-punk, so a lot of their songs have Halloween themes to them. Oh, and of course their cover of "The Monster Mash."

Ooo.. I like some Samhain as well. "Archangel" is beautiful.

I know high fives arent cool anymore, but *high five*

I love playing those "Scary Sound Effects" CDs that people stream out their open windows every Halloween night.
And, by my count, I've listened to Boris Pickett's "Monster Mash" about ten times today already.
