Not that it's their best work, but as long as you have Gentle Giant, you do have to add "Spooky Boogie"

And...anything by Goblin

The middle of PF's "Echoes" qualifies it.

Profondo Rosso - the entire soundtrack, 2005 CD version (including recordings from both Italian prog band Goblin and from jazz producer Giorgio Gaslini). The movie itself is quite spookie, creepy, good too (English Title: Deep Red, 1976)

No, "Mama" by Genesis. Thinking 'bout some ol', bitchywitchy, scary looking, ratched, ugly mama, kinda. And "Invisible Touch", 'cause that's got the ghostly, spooky edge when you think about invisible touches'n'stuff. Just don't listen while watching Scooby-Doo!

A great tone to welcome the kids into your hall:

[Zeuhlmate]

^^^Yeah, The Shubbies would fit the bill too.

I know that I have mentioned this before, but every year, my fraternity used to hold a Haunted House as a philanthropy. One year, I was in the middle of my "role" during the event and I could barely hear music blaring, and it sounded very familiar. Went upstairs and found out that that year's chairmen put my CD of Crimson's "Red" on the house stereo on rotation all night, each night. I asked them why, especially since none of them were particularly fond of Crimson. They said that they forgot to buy a scary music soundtrack and at the last minute, they felt that Red was the scariest music they could find. With the exception of one or two people, none of the attendees noticed that it wasn't "true" haunted house music.

Halloween - Laz (the whole album)

[Ockeghem]

Keith Emerson: "Mater Tenebrarum" from Inferno soundtrack.

John Carpenter: "Halloween Theme" from Halloween Soundtrack.

Halloween - Laz (the whole album)

The only thing to object here is the fact that it's almost all in weak English, every song except for one (underneath). I really wish they'd have resorted to French tongue as on their ensuing releases. Great band, though, sporting one of the finest violinists (Gilles Coppin) I've heard in rock since Richard Greene, Swarb and Nash tS.

[JJ88]

Jan Dukes De Gray- Mice And Rats In The Loft
VDGG- The Clot Thickens (the most terrifying keyboard solo ever recorded?), White Hammer
White Noise- The Visitation, Black Mass
Comus- Song To Comus
Black Widow- Come To The Sabbat
Audience- House On The Hill

[proggosaurus]
