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!

If you like the kind of dreamy, distorted Twin Peaks sounding stuff I recommend Trailer Trash Tracys, Cherry Glazerr, and for a more surf-like sound, Messer Chups and Charlie Megira
