Examples of songs you could enter (but won't because they're too well known)


Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous
Shakira - She Wolf
Alice Cooper -Poison
Dua Lipa - Hotter Than Hell

Will also accept the tenuous link of songs having been featured in horror or horror adjacent movies

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Hate Halloween, but reckon I can rustle something up.

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm playing this one!

 

[Inner Smile]

Shakira - She Wolf

Awoooooo!

 

[OutSynk]

Oh I’ve got plenty of these.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Shakira - She Wolf

The temptation just to enter this anyway and challenge people not to vote for one of the best songs of all time.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Entered and I think I've won

 

[ButterTart]

Entered!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I do like the tight itinerary.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I won't be voting for the multiple Kim Petras entries.

 

[OutSynk]

I won't be voting for the multiple Kim Petras entries.

Poor @ZenGiraffe. Those were the Shakira backups.

Is a song eligible simply because its quality is horrific? Asking for a friend.

The Nikki French back catalogue is indeed acceptable.

OMG Amazing

And it’s about time. the last one was so long ago I can’t even remember who hosted.

 

[Berly]

Shading the host in their own contest is a mood @ZenGiraffe

 

[ButterTart]

Only thing that could upstage Ms. French would be someone half Spanish:

@Berly what does the avatar rule mean (for us thick foreigners); any halloween themed picture?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

@Berly what does the avatar rule mean (for us thick foreigners); any halloween themed picture?

Pretty much that.

 

[jyxz]

Lack of Spotify means I cant submit this - but I cant just not share it.

ENJOY

@Berly what does the avatar rule mean (for us thick foreigners); any halloween themed picture?

Exactly that… it’s not like rules will be followed any way but anything scary

 

[Suomi]

It can be hard to distinguish between songs that are scary and songs that you just heard during particularly frightening experiences. For example, Louise’s Let’s Go Round Again was playing when I realised that several of the hostages had escaped through an ajar air vent. They were rounded up in time of course, but the whole thing still gives me the shivers!

On a horrifying related note, I've just discovered that there are Halloween episodes of Real Housewives...

The video for Stuck In The Middle is her homage to your plight so that could be accepted

 

[Berly]

Five people have entered my box

 

[OutSynk]

My dirge is on the way.

 

[funky]

Show dirge pls

 

[ButterTart]

OutSynk rides downhill on hospital dirge

 

[Tisch]

I had an entry ready to go but this has been delayed due to personal reasons

 

[Kratz]

I’m no fan of a theme but this was one is particularly trying!

 

[D5K]

I was torn between two songs but in the end went for the one that (I think) is new to Moopy.

 

[OutSynk]

Are we getting @octophone for this round please

 

[ButterTart]

Are we getting @octophone for this round please

This does feel like a round suited to @octophone and @Kate so fingers crossed for both.

Also as king of the creepers, I think @COB should make a one-off cameo.

 

[octophone]

Time is a factor but I hear you. I don't enter unless I have the time to do it properly.
