Astro-Creep: 2000 - White Zombie
White Zombie is always perfect for Halloween.
the giraffe's rating:
Black Heart Retrospective - The Suicide Girls
A solid mix of goth-ish bands to put you in a dark mood. Also good to dance to, if you're into that.
the giraffe's rating:
Bloody Kisses - Type O Negative
This would be the special edition, which is the more "serious" version...it lacks the filler tracks and the hilarious songs "we hate everyone" and "kill all the white people". Thus it's darker. The regular version works as well, but I prefer this one for Halloween.
See also October Rust.

the giraffe's rating:
Coal Chamber - Coal Chamber
They didn't call themselves spookycore for nothing. 14 dark, creepy songs...see also Chamber Music.
the giraffe's rating:
The Crow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Various Artists
The movie takes place near Halloween, so it'd be disappointing if the album wasn't similarly themed. Some of the best 80s/90s bands are on here, and it has my favorite Cure song ever to kick it off.
See also its companion soundtrack of Graeme Revell's score.

the giraffe's rating:
Gotham - Bauhaus
The best live recording of Bauhaus & a good collection of their best songs.
the giraffe's rating:
Haunted - Poe
The title says it all...a concept album dealing mostly with ghosts and strange goings-on. Sadly overlooked by many.
the giraffe's rating:
House of 1000 Corpses (Soundtrack) - Rob Zombie, Slim Whitman, Lionel Richie, The Ramones, Buck Owens
The best thing Rob Zombie has done musically post-White Zombie, and the other bands' songs are excellent as well.
the giraffe's rating:
La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One - White Zombie
See Astro-Creep above. I prefer this one though, as it's darker.
the giraffe's rating:
Portrait of an American Family - Marilyn Manson
Still the best Manson album ever recorded. See also Smells Like Children, which took these songs and remixed them into often creepier, weirder versions plus has a trio of great dark covers ("I Put a Spell on You", "Sweet Dreams", and "Rock n Roll...").
the giraffe's rating:
Slipknot - Slipknot
The whole thing sounds like a horror film...probably the slasher variety.
the giraffe's rating:
Substance - Joy Division
No Halloween is complete without Ian Curtis's haunting vocals.
the giraffe's rating:
Underworld: Music From The Motion Picture - Various Artists, The Damning Well, Puscifer, Page Hamilton, Milla, Renholder, David Bowie, Skinny Pu
Lots of vampire songs mixed with plenty of other dark material.
the giraffe's rating:
Who Will Survive & What Will Be Left of Them - Murder By Death
Tells the tale of the Devil waging war against a small town on the Mexican border.
the giraffe's rating:
Albums that are perfect for listening to on/around Halloween...good for putting you in the right frame of mind.
