HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Image stolen from here.

I've been playing with my new computer over the last couple of months and have been transferring gobs and gobs of music onto it. In honor of the season, I thought I might share my idea for the ultimate Halloween mix with you. I divided the songs into categories, one category per song, although many of them could easily be included in several different ones.

I may update this list as the day progresses. Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments section...
