I like making compilations, and would love to put together a progressive Halloween comp. Rules are pretty relaxed; if the title of the song is scary, or the band name is scary, or even if the song just sounds ominous, I'm in.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Everything by Goblin?
"Goblin Girl" by Frank Zappa.
"Goblin" by Opeth.
Hmmm . . .
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Bob Drake's - "The Skull Mailbox (And Other Horrors) seems like it would be perfect for Halloween
All of Halloween - Laz
Some Bernard Szajner stuff is pretty scary as well.
"Severed Moon" by Djam Karet
"Xenantaya" by Univers Zero
Not totally proggy, but not totally unproggy either (still great) -
"The Insect God" by The Monks of Doom
"The Mariner's Revenge Song" by The Decemberists
"The Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
I always think of metal as being more in the halloween vein, rather than prog. Still, the most recent Steven Wilson album is all ghost storoies, so you should find something there.
"The White Ship" & "At The Mountains Of Madness" by HP Lovecraft (the band, not the horror author)
"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician, and to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference"
President Harry S. Truman

"Cemeteries of London" by Coldplay.
Ligeti - Requiem.
Turn off the lights, light a candle, summon some evil fuckers, and crank this bitch.
Gentle Giant -- "Alucard", "Spooky Boogie", "Edge of Twilight"
Genesis-- "The Musical Box", "Home by the Sea"
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
Atomic Rooster- Death Walks Behind You
Strawbs- Ghosts
Pink Floyd- Careful With That Axe, Eugene
I like to listen to the '02 live version of The Ripper by Pallas (featuring The Ripper himself, Euan Lowson) each year.
'The smell of strange colours are heard everywhere'- Threshold
This album and band is more or less officially recognized as the premium conveyor and messenger of obtuse chaos force in progressive rock music, so enjoy.

Demons and Wizards - Down Where I Am and The Wicked Witch (both are moody and creepy)
Discipline - The Nursery Year
Jeeez you're easily scared, Frankie. No, let's get real! You get into the mood with some incense and mescaline underneath an orange blanket that's gone cold in the freezer for a couple of hours, your left big toe embalmed in formaline anal cream and the right testicle attached to a knotted piece of piano string right out of the deepfryer, 'Collected quotes from S. Palin' the only written word at hand and donning a lowfat weisswurst, and crank up THIS fucker:

Fantômas - Delìrium Còrdia
Also, "D.O.A." by Bloodrock isn't necessarily prog, but it's a great Halloween song.
This one has a great, creepy Halloween vibe...
