Creepy music for Halloween. Your suggestions, please!

[TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth]

I’m trying to get a playlist together for Halloween. Not the fun pop songs, like Monster Mash etc. but more like spooky classical pieces.

So far I have:

Toccata and Fugue
Night on Bald Mountain, and
Danse Macabre...

... and then drawn a blank!

I’d be very grateful for any suggestions. 😄 🧙🏽‍♀️🦇🧟‍♀️

The theme music from The Children of the Stones (original 1970s version on YouTube) is terrifying.

Bloody hell, @Jennygentle, that theme tune is enough to give you nightmares!

Ave Satani

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Halloween Theme
Night On Bald Mountain
O Fortuna
Dies Irae-Verdi
In The Hall of The Mountain King
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

Excuse the ones you've already suggested.

Anthem
Michael Abels

Chopin's Funeral March
The Imperial March
Duel of The Fates

I bought this album for Halloween a few years ago. You might find some ideas here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Darkside-Classical-Music-Haunting-Classics/dp/B00NX4T29U/ref=pdsbss3401/261-8028456-7539703??encoding=UTF8&pdrddi=B00NX4T29U&pdrddr=e6e63ce3-b646-4550-a994-7f74c74e0b57&pdrddw=tARUe&pdrddwg=6QIMX&pfrddp=b9bf232d-9a8a-4c7d-aa9d-641c0995d3a2&pfrddr=TYPHV47B4C1VHYQCGETJ&psc=1&refRID=TYPHV47B4C1VHYQCGETJ

In the hall of the mountain king?

I think that's what it's called.

Not quite classical but a similar vibe is the midsummer murders theme tune, x files and tubular bells.

Funeral March, of course! I used to love playing that very loud on the piano as a child (yes I was a bit of a weirdo!)

These are great. Some I knew but had forgotten. I'll have a look at that album, too.

The theme tunes mentioned are also good, especially as they're quite short and to the point, so they put all their spookiness in the shop window at once, IYSWIM!

Thank you all so much!

Some of the pieces composed for Game of Thrones have a very creepy, menacing vibe. If you're not familiar it's all listed season by season on Wikipedia under GoT soundtracks but anything to do with the White Walkers, Army of the Dead, the Night King has that kind of vibe.

Good call with the GOT music, there was a lot of sinister and atmospheric stuff in there.

Thank you, all.

Good idea. Shall investigate other horror film themes, too.

Thanks!
