Best horror SONGS

Some of you know that I've been known to dabble in music. I was a singer/songwriter before I was an actor of a screenwriter.

Lately I've gotten the itch to do some recording, but I'm not really into the songwriting these days, I want to record an album of covers - horror covers. I'm planning on recording them all as simply as possible - ascoustic guitar and voice - like Springsteen's "Nebraska" or Cash's "American Recordings".

I've already worked up cool versions of:

"Skulls" - The Misfits
"Pet Semetary" - The Ramones
"Shout at the Devil" - Motley Crue (as a rockabilly rave-up!)

I tried "Number of the Beast" but it just doesn't work on acoustic guitar and "Dream Warriors" is just to annoying. I've written a few originals ("Long Pig", "There Coming to get you, Barbara") but they aren't very good.

I need 7-10 more for an album. I need suggestions!

I love punk/metal songs because they're entire texture changes when you go solo-acoustic on them.
