DiS has hand-picked almost four hours of music to soundtrack your All Hallow's eve and somehow managed to avoid anything as, ahem, obvious as including The Horrors.
On this playlist we've mixed theme tunes from TV shows and songs from horror movie soundtracks with some ghoulishly titled tracks from some of DiS' favourite acts, plus some gothic ridiculousness from Cradle of Filth and found Burroughs reading some Edgar Allan Poe.
Anyway, if you don't know the Spotifriday deal by now you'll need the Spotify software on your computer (download it from spotify.com and then you CLICK THIS PLAYLIST LINK and the tracks magically appear on your computer.

Spotifriday Playlist: DiS Hallowe'en Special
Oh and one bonus track, which someone informed me of this morning but I couldn't find on Spotify from Aereogramme...
Alternatively, if you think the above is rubbish, you could put on The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Music From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (on Spotify here) ahead of its release, although don't confuse New Moon with this Elliott Smith album, obvs. We know we've probably missed a bunch of obvious tracks, so please feel free to make suggestions or go one better and share your Hallowe'en themed playlist in the comments section below.
Happy trick or treating...
NERF BLOODY HERDER!
YES!
No Specials' Ghost Town?
Too cheesy?
A quick scan with my tired eyes
says there's no Misfits?
yeah too obvious on both counts
no rocky horror either. was trying not to be ridiculously obvious (apart from Count Duckula, obvs!)
Well, what with having Cliff Richard on there...
...it's spooking me out plenty.
Thought of a few
Hell's Bells - AC/DC
They Live By Night - The Make Up
She Said - John Spencer Blues Explosion
George Romero - Sprites
There's a ghost in my house - The Fall
Climb up the walls - Radiohead
Scary Monsters and Super Creeps - David Bowie
A Forest (12 inch version) - The Cure
The Ghost - I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen
I don't wanna go down to the basement - The Ramones
Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Fear, Fear, Fear - John & Jehn
There are ghosts - Karate
I'll be amazed if I don't hear Wolf Like Me or Release the Bats on Saturday night.
seems like a magazine is too cool to include THE halloween song - michael jackson - thriller.
went one better
the Gothminister cover is incredible!
erm...
....where is that cat picture from.

Na you've done it wrong.
The whole playlist should be Zombina and the Skeletones:
Nobody likes you (when you're dead)
To the Grave .... and Beyond!
Dracula's Tango
Can't break a dead girl's heart
Evil Science
Raised in Hell
etc
Raised in Hell
ok, read the bit about excluding the obvious
How about subway song by the cure.
NO MISFITS
NO FUCKING MISFITS
awful
AFI - Fall Children
and misfits obv
Weak list
Mostly based on titles? I was hoping for some scary and dark stuff that would make me feel afraid of being left alone the entire weekend.
Also
Type O Negative - Black No. 1
Shame on you for not including this
13 eurogoths floating in the dead sea - Half Man Half Biscuit
Posion door - Sisters Of Mercy
In the night - Helloween
Nocturnal emission - Anathema
Living in sin - Broken Family Band
#And there's blood in the kitchen, and blood in the bathroom
And blood on the sheets and black candles wherever I step
Black candles wherever I step, black candles everywhere...
You're a devil woman, your heart is black, but your body drives me crazy
You're a sick satanic lady, you're full of hate and I just love that
I just love that#
