If you use just one Halloween playlist this year, it should be this one. Hide your speakers in the bushes and put this one on repeat to freak out not just the little kiddies coming to your door, but their parents as well.

It kicks off with the classic pipe organ composition “Toccata & Fugue In D Minor” then continues with some of the most disturbing, chill-inducing background music known to man. 

Guaranteed to reduce your candy output by 50%.

The playlist includes a good hour+ of the standard Haunted House sound effect music from some particularly good novelty records, but it also includes some seriously eerie ambient tracks that were not done specifically for Halloween, by artists like Brian Eno, Throbbing Gristle, Peter Gabriel, Robert Rich and Tangerine Dream.
