Got any good gothic/halloween music you enjoy? I personally enjoy music by a duo called Nox Arcana - you can find their stuff on YouTube. One of my favorites of theirs is Black Fire, it just has that overall Halloween theme I know and love.

So what are some of your favorite songs/artists of said music genre?

@Luthyx
Theatres des Vampires – Black Madonna

The Smiths – How Soon Is Now?

Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi is dead
– The passion of lovers
– Dark Entries


Actually, I think 80's gothic rock is damn good

@Luthyx I am obsessed with anything done by Sisters of Mercy, Nine Inch Nails, and Rammstein. They're not Halloweeny but they're goth/industrial and they're all gods

@Luthyx
A number of stores in my area have actually started assembling "Halloween playlists" for their muzak, and surprisingly, a lot of it's actually fairly good. Any number of horror movie themes, Alice Cooper, Oingo Boingo, Ozzy Osbourne, and others. There's not a lot in the way of genre-specific artists/bands for "Halloween music", but quite a lot of them have at least one or three "creepy" songs.

Wow, that's a lot of creepy music! I like it :)

also holy what a moderator posted what why how

@Luthyx you're welcome! I know lots of creepy tunes and songs, it's kinda my special love!

@Luthyx Two words: Creature Feature. They're not necessarily gothic as in creepy, atmospheric, and slow. For the most part it's fast paced and upbeat as far as sound. They stay true to Halloween and the monsters associated with the holiday. You could also look at Rufus Rex, the solo project of Curtis Rx of Creature Feature. Aurelio Voltaire has a rather large discography and his music tends to be akin more to a musical, which is further exampled by the fact that he wrote and preformed the song BRAINS! in the Billy and Mandy episode, Little Rock of Horrors.

@Luthyx
I like Nox Arcana as well, but can't decide between their albums Transylvania, The Dark Tower, or Blackthorn Asylum as my favorite.
