The title pretty much says it all.
Please include titles and artists, if possible.

My list, in no particular order includes:
  • The entire Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, but particularly This Is Halloween and Oogie Boogie's Song
  • Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
  • The Phantom of the Opera (title song from the musical)
  • Weird Science by Oingo Boingo
  • Darkmoon Faire Carousel from World of Warcraft ( check it out )
  • The Time Warp from Rocky Horror
  • Over at the Frankenstein Place from Rocky Horror
  • Grim Grinning Ghosts by The Swingtips (the Disney Haunted Mansion song in the style of swing)
  • Kiss of the Spiderwoman (from the musical of the same name)
  • Underground by David Bowie from Labyrinth
  • Anything Can Happen on Halloween by Tim Curry
  • Werecow by Flippy T. Fishead
  • Love Potion Number 9
  • Poison Ivy as performed by The Nylons
  • Reefer Madness (the title song from the musical of the same name)
  • The Munsters Theme
  • Thriller by Michael Jackson
  • Halloween Theme by John Carpenter (from the original Halloween film)
  • Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett
  • Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield (this was featured in the original The Exorcist film)
  • Batman Theme (from the 1989 Batman soundtrack)
  • Twelve Days of Cryptmas by The Cryptkeeper (from the album Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas)
  • Prologue from the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack

Here are a couple Halloween-themed albums I think work really well for more subdued Halloween parties where loud background music would be inappropriate:
  • Halloween by Mannheim Steamroller
  • Halloween Cocktail Party
    This is exactly what the title implies, halloween-ish music done in classic cocktail music style. Perfect for the swanky cool cats on All Hallow's Eve. (Ignore the "spooky sounds" final track.)

And I forgot that too, until I saw Mussorgsky on your list.
