Exclamation Any good songs for Halloween Setlist

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey my friend and i and a guitarist (trio) are playing a neighborhood haunted house. Its been on the news, so we wanna do well, and have some haunt in our set. We were thinking of some Sweet Dreams cover by Manson and re arrange it abit. Any other good ideas that don't use double pedal or downtune strings. Any stories of halloween sets and what songs were on it, or how it was accepted.thanksrock on

I put a compilation CD together a few years back for this purpose and most of the songs on it ahve been mentioned. YOu may wanna try Tubular bells (theme from The Exorcist) if you have the right equipment or Bark at the Moon by Ozzie. Another interesting twist I did last year was Devil with the blue dress. But that only worked because our haunted house had a dead woman in a blue dress in an electric chair.

"Black No.1" (or just about anything for that matter) by Type O Negative. My old band did it for a Halloween party complete with a bass arrangement of the harpsichord solo.
