"Trick or Treat!" Halloween playlist

pmsummer

simul justus et peccator
I always have something playing for the little beggars when they come demanding candy, usually a Bach passacaglia for organ, or some Gregorian Chant requiem mass setting.

This year, I'll be playing some accordion music as well.

Plus 1 and may I add "Halloween" by Sonic Youth
 
I do have that one LP that was a girl from Peru which sings the songs of the real head hunters, I posted that LP a while a go. She really has a great voice.
 
I have a self-made comp that I have used for about 10 years or so. I play this on the front porch using JBL L20t3's pointing straight down from above, with an old Cerwin Vega SW12b subwoofer (driver replaced about 8 years ago) under the porch, pointing straight up. I do not decorate the house save for a pumpkin in the picture window with a nasty face carved in it, lit with an old fiber optic lamp through it's ass. I draw the curtains to each side of the pumpkin. No lights on in the house. Very simple and very effective. I have had some kids, especially when it's dark, just stop and stare and listen, and wondering if they should even come up and ring the doorbell. The ones that do are greeted by yours truly, wearing a glow in the dark skull mask, in a black robe with a hoodie. I do not say a word unless provoked. Scares the hell out of them. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups of course. Here's the comp:
