Crystal Castles – “Crimewave” (2008)

The Decemberists – “Shankill Butchers” (2006)
Depeche Mode – “One Caress” (1993)

Marilyn Manson – “Putting Holes in Happiness (Nick Zinner Remix)” (2007)
Nekromantix – “Gargoyles Over Copenhagen” (2002)
Carl Orff – “O Fortuna” from “Carmina Burana” (1936)
Ray Parker Jr. – “Ghostbusters” (1984)
Bobby “Boris” Pickett – “Monster Mash” (1962)
Rasputina – “Transylvanian Concubine” (1996)
Sir FiNiX – “The Haunted Music Box” (2006)

Leopold Stokowski – “Night on Bald Mountain” (1940)
Type O Negative – “Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)” (1993)
Louis Victor Jules Vierne – “Toccata in B Flat Minor” from “Pièces de Fantasie” (1920s)
Vitalic – “Poison Lips” (2009)
Rob Zombie – “Living Dead Girl” (1998)

From the list above, I’ve also got some “Zombie Rock” tunes for you. I don’t think there is actually a “zombie rock” genre out there, but there should be. I think it has to have an element of dissonance and also lyrics or vocals that are distorted and maybe a little ethereal in nature. These three are definitely part of it!
