I'd love to hear what kind of music my friends like to listen to/associate with Hallowe'en and/or autumn.

I haven't really found any piece of classical music that sums it up better than Camille Saint-Saƫns's Danse Macabre.

I am listening to a collection called "Halloween Classics" and I have to say songs like Beethoven's Tocatta and Fugue and Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite have been spoiled for me by use in films and commercials. But not Danse Macabre. I can always listen to it.

My kids and I also like "This is Halloween" song from The Nightmare before Christmas. And, surprisingly to me, when I want to write vampire BBC Sherlock, I usually put on Rob Zombie's Dragula (I heard it on a CD I checked out from the library called 'Now That's What I Call Halloween.'). I don't usually listen to metal/rock music (or whatever genre it is) but it definitely puts me in the mood to write a certain type of fic.

And I also like "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon which also always puts me in the mood to write werewolf fic.

So, please, share your thoughts. Instrumental or songs with lyrics. What are your seasonal favorites?
