Smokie - No More Letters. Not exactly Halloween song i.e. no ghosts or dead bodies, but the overall atmosphere seems right.
Shivaree - Goodnight Moon. Same as above, probably even more.

I love it when he pulls back on the falsetto parts, they sound disembodied. Great singer.
This thread seems to have picked up again - as 2020 Halloween approaches. Written about a ghost story his grandfather told him. 1975 HIT by Michael Murphy- WILDFIRE.
A ghost story & spooky lyrics:
"There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now, For six nights in a row,
She's coming for me, I know".

An overlooked track from Siouxie...
...and two from her inspiration, the Godmother of Goth...
Let's go to the crossroads at midnight...
Possibly a creepier country blues, the sound of despair...

I put a Sonos 1 outside on Halloween...typically, it's music from John Carpenter's Halloween series or music from The Exorcist or Psycho or a few tunes from a group called Midnight Syndicate. No this year. I stumbled onto the Mother Lode...
Buckethead has a month collection of Pikes dedicated to Halloween. They are sound collages, not for listening, IMO.
Plus it ties in nice with my costume. Tell you what, I have kids scared enough to not come onto the porch...others have literally ran off it.

"And in the death,
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy
Thoroughfare,
The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building,
High on Poacher's Hill.
And red, mutant, eyes gaze down on Hunger City.
No more big wheels.
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats,
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes,
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers,
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue.
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now leg-warmers.
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald.
Any day now,
The year of the Diamond Dogs..."
