I love these cue lists. I've only had a chance to listen to one suggestion so far (dance of the witches) and I've already ordered The Witches Of Eastwick. Can't wait to check out the rest!

Speaking of Halloween playlists, isn't this about the time we start anticipating spooky releases from Intrada, LLL and the like? Any ideas? I'm still stuck on SALEM'S LOT from last year...what a set.
I'm not sure whether these labels necessarily release horror-themed scores around Halloween any more than they do any other time of the year, but last year LLL certainly surprised me with two incredible, unexpected October releases: Black Beauty and Day of the Dead. (I know Black Beauty isn't horror, but it does make me think of autumn, perhaps because I have a fond memory of first listening to LLL's release while walking my sister's dogs through the local cemetery.)
What do I—realistically—hope will arrive this October? A complete compilation of the music from Romero's Dawn of the Dead sure would be nice. Not sure how realistic of a hope that is, though.
I'm glad you brought this thread up since I was planning on starting/reanimating a similar thread as we neared October: what will you be listening to as you gear up for Halloween? We're midway through September now and it's never too early, in my book, to begin planning for Halloween.
Here's some of what I plan to play through October:
Alien - Jerry Goldsmith
Batman Forever - Elliot Goldenthal
Black Beauty - Danny Elfman
Day of the Dead - John Harrison
Escape from L.A. - John Carpenter & Shirley Walker
Evil Dead - Roque Baños
John Carpenter's The Fog - errr...
Godzilla '14 - Alexandre Desplat
House of Usher - Les Baxter
I Am Legend - James Newton Howard
King Kong - James Newton Howard
Scream - Marco Beltrami
The X-Files - Mark Snow

Can anyone recommend fun tracks to play at a Halloween party? I thought the BEETLEJUICE main theme and "This is Halloween" from NIGHTMARE would be fun, interspersed between regular pop songs like "Spirit Got Lost" by Mental As Anything" and "Monster Mash". I don't want my guests to run screaming after playing the theme from THE OMEN! Horror pop song recommendations are welcomed, too.
I'd recommend throwing in some easter eggs for sharp-eared horror film fans at your party. Songs like "Hush" by Kula Shaker, "Hip to be Square" by Huey Lewis & The News, and "The Blue Wrath" by I Monster.
