What do you play to get the party ghouls going at Halloween? Do you have a favourite song to scare those pesky little trick or treaters? Go on, vote now in our ALL NEW, & EXTENDED online poll!
Cold sweat is running down my back… and that’s just from having to decide who gets on the list. Californian neo-rockabillies and twisted b-movie fiends The Cramps have to be on it. But which song, ‘I Was A Teenage Werewolf’ or ‘Zombie Dance’? It has to be ‘Zombie Dance’, you can’t beat a bit of black humour.

We could have easily had a list twice as long. It seems horror themes were big in the 50’s and the 80’s. Must have something to do with venting that creepy Cold War fear that was going around at the time.
Talking about the 80’s, Does anyone remember the Fields Of The Nephilim? This UK Goth band had quite a funny stage show where they basically re-enacted this cheap 80’s horror flick, The Fog, emerging out of dense dry ice fog with hidden faces and glow in the dark eyes. Their ‘Preacher Man’ almost made it onto the list, but then, it isn’t really in the same league, is it?
Other ‘nearly made it’ tunes are the rather daft ‘Rocking In The Graveyard’ by 80’s Psychobilly combo The Guana Batz, 30’s bluesman Robert Johnson’s strangely eerie ‘Me And The Devil Blues’ and 70’s experimental band White Noise’s creepy ‘The Visitations’.
