Last night while carving pumpkins with the kids, Mindy and I were lamenting the shortage of good Halloween music. We have stacks of Christmas carols on CD, but nothing for Halloween. I don’t think I have a single ’60s novelty song on my iPod, so that’s pretty much ball game.

We tried to put together a hypothetical Halloween mix of year-round pop songs, but didn’t get very far. What can you add? (Songs must be actually good, in addition to conveying the mood/theme of the season.)

• “Thriller” by Michael Jackson
• “Season of the Witch” by Donovan
• “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon
• “Zombie Zoo” by Tom Petty
• “Spooky” by the Classics IV
• “Your Ghost” by Kristin Hersh
• “Satin in a Coffin” by Modest Mouse
• “Son of Sam” by Elliott Smith
• “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” by David Bowie
