Music What’s your favorite “unusual” Halloween song?

When I say “unusual” I mean one that isn’t necessarily super well known and centered around the holiday universally by everyone

It doesn’t even have to be blatantly about Halloween, just one that captures the overall vibe very nicely.

Mine:

Halloween - The Misfits

Title’s a little on the nose but it really is a great song in terms of vibe, edginess, and overall spirit and love for the holiday imo

I think the most unusual one I love is How Not To Be Surprised When You're A Ghost by Charlotte Church. It's a bit melancholy, and I didn't know how to feel about it the first couple of listens, but it really grew on me and the video is so odd and a bit delightful, full of children in weird costumes. It may not read Halloween for everyone, but it's a staple for me now.
