Best Prog Songs for Halloween

[jazz2896]

No Residents mentions yet? I basically had nothing but "Duck Stab/Buster and Glen" on for the entirety of last night, it certainly set the mood.

Good news everyone, I'm working on CD/album/download/whatever. I'm setting a goal by the end of 2017. Only took me 20 years! Time does fly.

Thanks for the update! I vote for a CD for the masses plus a hi-rez download for audiophile geeks.

[Svetonio]

Not prog, but interesting and spooky songs.

[bennymania]

Tubular Bells, anyone?
Oldfield..., Anyone?

Dee Snider put out a Halloween-themed band/album/tour a bunch of years ago with Mark Wood on violin, Joe Franco on drums and Al Pitrelli on guitar. Some good stuff on there.

Mechanical Bride - Steve Hackett

Dance into the meat grinder
Ethnic cleansing sharp reminder
You're no better than the other side
Just can't hide the Mechanical Bride

Electric chair burned hair
Framed fried you could be there
Wedded to remaining dumb
You just can't hide the Mechanical Bride

Fox hunt bullfight animals' curse
Born again with the roles reversed
Enter the arena under-rehearsed
You just can't hide the Mechanical Bride

[Rarebird]
