    Annie Lennox-Love Song for a Vampire (from Dracula)



    Have I heard of this song: Yes


    I’ve been kinda blessed so far (scary songs aside) with the quality of songs coming in, unfortunately this one and the one below just don’t do anything for me. Sorry :/

    The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park


    Have I heard of this song: No


    It’s like what I said about Hush, these songs just cast aside the gloom and pick me up after a rather trialling few days, and I don't just mean this contest :o Great choice, that chorus is amazeballs.
    Choon!:) Unfortunate that that foghorn from M People butchered it and that's the version they always play on the wireless:(

    Harry Belafonte - Day-o (Banana Boat Song)




    Have I heard of this song: Yes

    This is just a classic, Beetlejuice is a guilty pleasure fave of mine and I watch it at least once a year – this scene is up there with my faves. Fab choice.

    Yeah I’m really sorry. I did try with this but it just hurts my brain with the electronic buzzing. I think I’m just worn down after a couple of days of screaming banshees :pac:

    The Man Comes Around’ - Johnny Cash



    You can’t really deny Cash the top spot. It’s from one of my fave horror movies and it just fits perfectly into this round. Phenomenal choice that should really have been submitted to the ongoing Movie Song Contest. Just amazing.

    Diamanda Galas-I Put A Spell On You

    Had I heard this song before: NO!




    Sweet mother of JAYSUS DIVINE – the banshee warbling in this track is enough to give someone permanent mental damage.

    It’s awful. But it’s terrifying, and that was the point of this round – so well done. Now let us never speak of this again. :D





    Ah here pmsl at this :D:D
    From about 1.44 it goes totally bonkers. I do wonder about the type of people into this kinda stuff:confused:

    John Williams - Jaws Theme



    Have I heard of this song: Yes


    This is just a classic. It’s so iconic it really couldn’t go much lower. I think the effects are lost a little bit without the movie but it’s still an amazing piece.





    Kinda disliked this song just because it reminds me of the movie which I'm not fond of. Too old for me, & wouldn't be into watching it ever again.

    But I've a whole new appreciation for the song now after hearing it posted here tonight :)

    The Highwaymen - (Ghost) Riders In The Sky

    This feels incredibly harsh because I absolutely adore this track, but I just felt the new music I was introduced to in this round deserved higher placing. It’s bloody great though. Yippeee Hai OOOO

    Asks for a scary song, gets one that gives them the heeby jeebies, 2nd last place.
    Asks for a good song, gets a song they adore, 3rd last place.
    You're like ordering takeaway for a difficult woman. "i'll eat anything.....no, I don't want Chinese.... Or chipper..... I love Thai food but don't want it now"
    :pac:

    Great thréad, necro. Congrats to the winners
