BillD 239 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Anyone have favorites to scare the little kiddies that come trick-or-treating? Of course, the classic is Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, a great piece of music, and it deserves to be heard. It's become associated with Halloween as the ultimate example of spooky music mostly because it was used in all those old movies that featured mad organists playing their subterranean instruments beneath old opera buildings in the middle of the night. Another great album I play on Halloween is Witches Brew with Alexander Gibson conducting the New Symphony Orchestra of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumbini 6,135 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Telarc's Chiller is my favorite Halloween compilation. It's also really, REALLY well recorded. I have the opening sequence (thunder, squeeky door, screams, etc.) looping on the front porch right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bill, If you like jazz you have to hear Kenny Dorham's "Trompeta Toccata" I'll try and find a clip for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
