Halloween songs of the 80's

**djdaffy1227** · 10-08-02, 12:44 AM

I found a copy of it by Bad Manners from 1980. I would still like this other version

The soundtrack, I guess, wasn't available in the US.

**Recker** · 10-08-02, 01:34 AM

Darn.

I posted one and then checked a second time and saw in on your original list.

**Femmetal** · 10-08-02, 02:49 AM

[i]BTW, "Trick or treat" from Fastway was very good!
[/B]

Cool

Fastway did the whole soundtrack to the 1986 movie titled "Trick or Treat".

A late addition...

Black Widow-Lita Ford

She has 2 songs with this title, the one I'm recommending is from her 1983 album titled "Out For Blood". The other one is from 1991.

One that comes to mind is:

How about "Zombie Zoo" by Tom Petty from his 1989 "Full Moon Fever" album?
Also, "Devil's Radio" by George Harrison from his 1987 "Cloud Nine" album.

THAT is an awesome song! Right off 1981's Tin Drum - Japan's last studio album.

A bit late - but how about
Dracula's Tango - Toto Coelo
Now I'm Feeling Zombified - Alien Sex Fiend
Gothic Party Time - Action Pact

**Hurrah Brother** · 1-29-04, 11:42 AM

Annie Nightingale used to do this sort of thing on sunday evenings.

Way too late but Some Must haves (in my opinion)

"we're having a party" by Igor's Night out
"martin" Soft cell, from the 'Art of falling apart' LP (it was on the extra 12 inch single that came with it, also on the CD)
"A Forest" The Cure, preferably the full lenght version.
