Music for a horror party?
 

please help.
i am planning a horror party and need some tips for music.
thx

Murderdolls - Dead In Hollywood
That's the only one one that comes to mind that's horror related.

Anything by Nekromantix

Sephiroth's theme.







Their heads would fucking explode though.:cool:

The man speaks the truth. Add some Calabrese, Misfits and maybe some of Alice Cooper's more horror themed tunes, and you have one rockin' party.

Wouldn't you agree that "Haunted Cathouse" is the supreme song for a horror party? It's so damn...well, Halloweeny.

Aside from what's already been mentioned, try:

Balzac
the Cramps

John Carpenter

Haunted Cathouse IS a horror party:p

thanks a lot. will try.

As great as his music is, I dont think it really fits a party atmosphere. Great for movies, noot so much for parties.

^^ nah John Carpenter or the Goblin soundtracks would be sweet for a party. Shit it'd be a hell of a lot more interesting that the Murderdolls or some of the of the crap mentioned in here.

Go for the Return Of The Living Dead soundtrack especially if you can track down the picture disc version with samples from the movie. Perhaps one of those monster mash compilations (I'm pretty sure Rhino Records would've brought one out).

I hate modern horror-punk. The Misfits and The Cramps were the only bands that did it any justice. All the newbie ones are just really shit imitators. Nekromantix and Calabrese are total horseshit.......

Why would you say that?

Nekromantix isn't that new (first album being in the 80s) and their earlier stuff is fast as shit. They've got catchy tunes, and they can slap a bass pretty damn well. A lot of their lyrics are very creative.

I'm sure you've heard their older stuff, and not just their newer shit on, say, the Punk-O-Rama comps...but I can't see your comment being relevant to their older stuff.

halloween sountrack great for horror parties..

a party isnt a party - no matter what the theme - without some Burt Bacharach :cool:

No, even though I personally dont agree, I can understand where you're coming from as far as Calabrese goes. Though I wouldnt call them "shit imitators", they are obviously very heavily influenced by the Misfits and other such bands.

But Nekromantix? If you dont like them, thats a matter of opinion...but why lump them into the same category? Totally different style, IMO.

I see them as the imitators and don't like 'em. But whatever. Like the TV program was called.....

I'd play a bunch of random metal & industrial music.

GGGGWWWWAAAAAARRRRRRRRR

i agree 100% with the guy who posted this ...

Dunno.... he seems a lil' crazy. Talking to himself n shit :D

Okay,serious answer now.Play some Rob Zombie,CLASSIC Sabbath,Slayer(Spill the blood fucking owns you.) and NIN(For shits and giggles)







Werd^

you gotta be joking me. I bought there one album cuz that "who killed the cheerleader" song was cool, but the rest.....OMG. just terrible.
"c'mon lick my bone
never leave me alone
take this heart of stone...
no one else ???...."

"now - i only see dead...

now - i am living with the dead

where have you gone
nekronomicon

lost within my head
now i only see dead..."


hahaha so lame.



ANYWAYS yeah. If I were to have a horror themed party I'd play Misfits, Samhain, Danzig, Necrophagia

well, it provides me with the most intelligent conversation i can find on the site !! :cool: :D

....probably the only other Burt Bacharach fan on here to :)

i think you're 100% correct on that one..

more the pity :(

this guys music has been covered almost as much as the beatles .. (excepy Yesterday :D)

How appropriate that you quote 2 songs from their most popular, and one of their newest, album.

Try some of these:

-Haunted Cathouse
-S/M
-Howling at the Moon
-Dead Moonwalkin'
-Hellbound

You can't judge a band by one CD. So don't call them lame because of two songs.
