			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good friend has an annual Halloween costume party and last year I put together a special Halloween set list to play during the festivities.  For posterity I thought I would list it here (also this will help me keep tabs and make sure I don&#8217;t duplicate too much on this year&#8217;s list).  Surprisingly there are a ton of Halloween themed songs out there.  I probably had an initial list with 15-20 hours worth of songs and had to trim down to around a 5 hour set.  And of course when putting one of these together, you really have to resist the urge to be lazy and just put a whole White Zombie album on there.</p>
<p>So without further ado, here is the list from last year along with some notes.  It is listed with song name then artist.</p>

</ol>
<p>Of course the real goal that my good friend Horst and I have always had was to put a band together that could perform a Halloween themed set list live.  It still hasn&#8217;t happened but I am holding out hope.  Maybe when Horst comes back from his adventures in New Zealand we can make it happen.  Plus it would be a good excuse for me to learn the entire Thriller dance (I just need to get <a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/1588/Eating_Brains_Throwing_Shapes">this shirt for my cheat sheet</a>).</p>
<p>If you have any favorite Halloween songs that I didn&#8217;t use, please post them in the comments.</p>
