Halloween music has become a staple of the holiday season, with spooky tunes and haunting melodies filling the air. From classic horror movie soundtracks to creepy anthems, there is a wide variety of music that is perfect for setting the mood of Halloween. One of the most popular Halloween songs is "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Released in 1982, this iconic song incorporates elements of funk, disco, and pop, with its eerie lyrics and infectious beat. The music video for "Thriller" is equally iconic, featuring zombies, werewolves, and a thrilling dance sequence that has become a Halloween tradition. Another Halloween favorite is "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett.
When we perform The Star Ruby, I’m sure [men] have no problem valorizing [their] phalle. But even if I were to exalt my ketis, that’s not exactly right, now is it? . . . I do not want my ketis (limited as that term is) to be a phalle. Never did. Never will.
I certainly don t want to go into an enclosure and be separated from men, but there has to be some way to engage in a patriarchal culture and retain a sense of female sexual power without getting into a muddle where female sexual power is just a false metaphor for male power. It was a big decision but witchcraft had stopped feeling right, I was too damn busy and magic had stopped being like a way to spiritually nourish myself and had just turned into a chore.
Another Halloween favorite is "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett. This novelty song was released in 1962 and tells the story of a dance party attended by classic horror movie monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman. "Monster Mash" has a catchy, upbeat tune that is perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit.
For those with religious trauma, how do you overcome it?
I, 22F, was Christian until I was 20. And when I say Christian, I mean my entire family is very very religious and I did missions trips, church groups, the whole enchilada. Even the county where I live is known for being religious. Growing up, we would hide on Halloween, I couldn't trick or treat, or go to church Halloween functions, and I couldn't even watch Scooby Doo and the Hex Girls. I couldn't watch Harry Potter until I was 16 (even then my parents practically had a cow) and no meditation or hypnosis (even of my own volition). I couldn't even go to a therapist when I was severely depressed and had an ED unless it was a Christian therapist.
When I was 20, I found myself drawn towards the old gods, mythology, and witchcraft. It was something I really (really) wanted to learn about and become a part of. But even though I've been (more or less) practicing for 2 years, I still feel I can't call myself a witch or pagan because of guilt. I have about 2-3 "friends" that also practice, but there's no community or safe place near where I live. Very few festivities or events that would connect me with a mentor or teacher.
I feel so silly and dumb for trying these things because it was so ingrained in me to hate this stuff. In the back of my head, I keep thinking I need to repent, but there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing. I have had such horrible luck, especially in the last 3-4 years and nothing I do helps. I think my subconscious is trying to say all the bad things are happening because I'm not a Christian anymore because that's what I grew up hearing all the time.
How can I overcome this? I want to be strong in my practice, I want to stop feeling silly and guilty for practicing. I want a good relationship with the old gods and strengthen every part of me. I know these things are possible, I just wish I could find a way to do it without feeling small and naive.
The word xiphoid means “sword-shaped” and it reminds me of the conversation I had over at The Bad Witch Files concerning the adoration of one’s “phalle.” Just like I have no xiphoid process, I also have no phalle:
In addition to these classics, there are many other spooky songs that are perfect for Halloween. "This Is Halloween" from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a delightfully creepy tune that captures the essence of the holiday. The theme song from the "Halloween" movie franchise is also a popular choice, with its haunting piano melody and chilling atmosphere. Furthermore, Halloween music is not limited to just songs. Soundtracks from horror movies, such as John Carpenter's "Halloween" or Bernard Herrmann's "Psycho," are often played during Halloween parties or haunted house attractions. These instrumental scores create an ominous ambiance that adds to the overall spookiness of the event. In conclusion, Halloween music is an essential part of the holiday experience. Whether it's classic songs like "Thriller" and "Monster Mash," or haunting instrumental scores from horror movies, these tunes create a delightfully spooky atmosphere that is perfect for Halloween. So, turn up the volume, dim the lights, and let the haunting melodies transport you to a world of fright and wonder..
Reviews for "Hauntingly Beautiful Music for Your Halloween Soiree"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Halloween music a guanted wotch". The songs were not what I expected at all. I was hoping for some classic Halloween tunes, but instead, it was just a random mix of weird and eerie sounds. It didn't have that spooky vibe I was looking for. The music felt disjointed and didn't flow well together. I wouldn't recommend this album for anyone who wants traditional Halloween music.
2. John - 1 star
I can honestly say that "Halloween music a guanted wotch" is the worst Halloween music album I've ever heard. The songs were just plain awful, with screechy noises and eerie sounds that were more annoying than anything else. There was no melody or rhythm to the tracks, making it hard to enjoy or even tolerate. It was a waste of money, and I regret purchasing it. Save yourself the trouble and look for a different Halloween music album.
3. Emily - 2 stars
As a fan of Halloween music, I was really excited to listen to "Halloween music a guanted wotch". Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The songs lacked creativity and originality. It seemed like the artist just threw together a bunch of generic Halloween sounds without any thought or effort. I was hoping for more atmospheric and eerie melodies, but instead, it was just a collection of random noises. I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone looking for quality Halloween music.
4. David - 2 stars
I was really let down by "Halloween music a guanted wotch". The songs were repetitive and lacked depth. They didn't capture the essence of Halloween or evoke any sort of spooky atmosphere. It felt like the artist was just trying to create a quick cash grab without putting any real effort into the music. I would suggest looking for other Halloween music options that are more enjoyable and well-crafted.
