Have you ever been driving alone at night with your ipod on shuffle coming out of your car speakers, and Ave Satani comes on and scares the bejeepers out of you? I always feel like something horrible is about to happen, like a lightning rod through my car or something......awesome.

There's a 29-mile stretch of hilly, winding road through the Delaware State Forest that would be perfect at dusk to hear it. 

Wolf Man

My favorites are Midnight Syndicate, have all their CD's and Nox Arcana's Transylvania.  I have some kooky old stuff like Clap for the Wolfman and Dinner with Drac among others.  They have a great nostalgia feel to them.  I also love soundtracks like Bram Stokers Dracula (with the exception of the last song when the credits roll, felt out of place). 

I really don't like the soundtrack though for Wolfman.  I am not a Danny Elfman fan.  That music could have been so much better if Midnight Syndicate or Nox Arcana did it. 

I really loved the American Werewolf In London soundtrack with all those classic hits about the moon.  Awesome.

 How about the theme music from the 60's / 70's daytime  show DARK SHADOWS.
Even a man who is pure in heart,and says his prayers by night,may become a wolf, when the wolfbane blooms, and the moon is full and bright, AAHHOOoooo

The answer to the question about the music used for Brigantine Castle is Toccata and Fugue In D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. Another great band as far as horror-themed goes is called Ghoultown, lead singer Lyle Blackburn, author of The Beast of Boggy Creek and Lizardman.

50's/60's pop-surf. The other two I can do without.

Here's a really good one by the Chesterfield Kings, but recorded in the 80's or the 90's:

This is a really tough question... I divide Monsterous music into three camps:

1. Movie Sound Tracks (Halloween, THEM, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, They Live")
2. Atmospheric (Verne Langdon's Phantom of the Organ and Vampyre at the Harpsichord)
3. Popular/Novelty (Nature Trail to Hell, Mistress of the Dark, Do They Know it's Hallowe'en, The Ghost who Walks)

Of all these I would have to pick the song "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by The North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative
