Halloween Tunes... What Would You Drop In A Halloween Dj Set?

[tryptych]

This reminds me of of my first DJ gig outside of people's houses... playing at a university halloween party in Cambridge. My friend, who sorted it out, decided I should play dark hip-hop, jungle etc, but no one put what kind of music it was on the posters. I had a horrible night fending off drunk students demanding Abba. It was very demoralising.

The Gonk

Gotta have The Gonk from Dawn of the Dead. I think there's a remix on the Shaun of the Dead OST

Just about anything by Paul Roland is pretty much taylor made for halloween.

Last Halloween, opened set with Misfits- Halloween. Seemed appropriate. Year before that, I managed to play Ministry-Every Day is Halloween like 5 times. It was the song of the year.

This year, Im working on throwing in a lot of Sisters of Mercy into a Dark Breaks/Grime/Dark elektro set.

Gotta play this !!! remix, cant remember the name of the track, but the chorus is "Like i give a fuck, like i give a shit"....

And, anything on Control Tower records.

Dont have my records in front of me, and Im terrible with track/artist names. But I love that dark breaks.

i had the album sabotage by black sabbath when i was about 9 and i ended up really scaring myself after listening to it far too much on my walkman, one track in particular with the scary laughing on it - i recently bought it again on cd to try and relieve that one.

Ed Rush - Bludclot Artattack (still the best trackname ever) "I've got a ticket to hell"

One of the tracks on the Flower Swing EP by Jammin' Unit is really spooky.

 

[henry s]

that old jungle track (artist name slips me) that samples "Boyz N' The Hood", with the woman screaming "Rickyyyy!" over and over again...that's pretty scary...

Thats 'Ricky' by Remarc and Lewi Cifer on Dollar Records. Theres another horror tune called Cape Fear on the same EP.

What about the hardcore classic, Evil Dead sampling 'Scottie' by Subnation? -

"We're all gonna die - Youre not gonna die! - SCOTTIE!"
