LITERAL REMAINS

Nothing goes with Halloween like good music.  The standard tunes of the season are “Monster Mash”, “Psycho” Theme, “Halloween” Theme, and the like.  Now, I do like some “Monster Mash” and “Funeral March of a Marionette”, but I thought I would put together a list of ten tunes that I feel have a certain disturbance to them.  Some of them are most blatant, but a couple of them, I think, you may not have guessed. True, they are not about Halloween, but I think they suit it to a certain degree. They are in no particular order–I’ll leave that up to you.
