Title: Hell Itself Breathes Out Contagion To This World
Warning: WOO SCARY. Well, maybe. I know some of the audio clips I included enduringly freak me out. I recommend the HAL thing as a doorbell ringer for trick or treaters somehow. I know I'd run like hell.
Notes: I apologize for using a couple of songs from other mixes, as I hate doing that, but they were too perfectly fitting to not include.
1. The B-52's - Planet Claire
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head
2. Tom Waits - The Ocean Doesn't Want Me
I'll open my head and let out all of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
3. They Might Be Giants - Exquisite Dead Guy
Exquisite dead guy
Rotating in his display case
Exquisite dead guy
Swear I saw his mouth move
4. Basil Rathbone reads The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
5. Bauhaus - Departure
So pulling himself up
And stepping through pools of moonlight and shadow
He made his bleary way across the room towards the door
And slowly, apprehensively, raised the latch
The latch became a fingertip, touching his own
6. Radiohead - We Suck Young Blood (Your Time Is Up)
Our veins are thin
Our rivers poisoned
We want the sweet meats
We want the young blood
7. Amon Tobin - El Wraith
8. REDRUM!
9. Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
10. Library Tapes - Departures (Burning Saints For Your Own Sins)
11. Misfits - Halloween
Bonfires burning bright
pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween
dead cats hanging from poles
little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
12. AFI - Totalimmortal
I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls
13. Willy Wonka's Lazy River
14. Nina Simone - Pirate Jenny
By noontime the dock is a-swarmin' with men
comin' out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows
where no one can see
And they're chainin' up people and they're bringin' em to me
askin' me,
"Kill them NOW, or LATER?"
Askin' ME!
"Kill them now, or later?"
15. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Up Jumped the Devil
Who's that hangin' from the gallow tree?
His eyes are plucked but he looks like me
16. The Beatles - Run For Your Life (I included this more for personal reasons. This song scared the crap out of me as a kid when we listened to it in the car after costume shopping. ..I was easily frightened by the masks)
Let this be a sermon,
I mean everything I said,
Baby, I’m determined,
And I’d rather see you dead.
You’d better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Catch you with another man,
That’s the end - ah, little girl.
17. Vincent Price reads Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
18. Sonic Youth - Trilogy: B) Hyperstation
Smashed-up against a car at three A.M.
Kids just up for basketball, beat me in my head
There's bum trash in my hall and my place is ripped
I've totaled another amp, I'm calling in sick
It's an anthem in a vacuum on a hyperstation
Day dreaming days in a daydream nation
19. A Human Error.
20. Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again (Owl Tiem Mix) (This one recalls the song at the end of the shining, and the mix edits are creepy, so in it goes)
Whole list here BONUS TRACKS: Added after I realized this mix was overloaded on the hellish. Here's some more lightheartedness~
A.
Outkast - Dracula's WeddingB.
The Monster Mash Enjoy :D
