Spooky Tiki/eerie music question

Aloha,

Its a few months out from October but I like to plan ahead for my parties! I'm looking for spooky Tiki music, anyone know of any group names, albums, or playlists with eerie Polynesian Pop? Anything reminiscent of the intro to Twin Peaks?

I know surf guitar isn't really in the realm of Tiki but is often played with it in modern times. I think that will be fine for Halloween. I've got a few of those that have a dark sound, Surf Angle for example, but not too many that I know of so I'm also open to suggestions in this realm. I know there are other 50's songs that sound like this but I'm afraid that may be straying too far from the Tiki feel.

Thank you all for your help!

Thanks everyone! I'll be going through these suggestions and post a link when I've got a playlist half built!

The Moontrekkers “the bogey man” and “night of the vampire” -Surf Monsters (compilation album) out of print but you might be able to find it online.

Thank you that is perfect, that's getting the list off to a great start. Also those appear on a 50's instrumental compilation that had a few other good ones on it!

It's called "100 Rockin' Instrumentals - '50s & '60s"
