#1. Dracula – Mystic Prophecy
 

Dracula, soul on fire, his blood cold as ice
Dracula, blood desire, evil legend, the Devil never dies
Dracula, rising higher, fly through the darkest black
Dracula, kill desire, blood lust, attack, attack, attack…

#2. Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) – Concrete Blonde
 

There's a crack in the mirror and a bloodstain on the bed
Oh, you were a vampire and baby, I'm the walking dead
Oh, you were a vampire and baby, I'm the walking dead...
 

#3. Boogeyman – Motörhead
 

You know everybody's scared,
Everybody better beware
Scared of spiders, scared of rats,
Scared of being crossed by cats
Scared of everything that moves,
Scared of things with cloven hooves

I ain't scared, live my life allright
I ain't scared, to stand and fight
I ain't scared, 'cos I believe
Ain't scared, to wear my heart on my sleeve
Ain't scared to show my hands
But I'm scared of the boogeyman…
 

#4. Fear of the Dark – Iron Maiden
 

I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark…

#5. Halloween – Misfits
 

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween

Dead cats hanging from poles
Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween

Brown leafed vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween

This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween…
 

#6. The Devil's Bleeding Crown – Volbeat
 

… Falling from the sky, they're cast out from the heaven's light
Drenching the soil with blood, baptized in the fire hole

… The devil's spawn no longer breathes
Descending angels and fallen kings
Raise your hands, what do you hold?
The devil's bleeding crown…
 

#7. Am I Demon – Danzig
 

Am I beast or am I human
Am I just like you?
Power seething
Really reeling, reaching out for you

Am I demon?
I need to know…
 

#8. Legion of Monsters – Disturbed
 

Some were barely alive
Too many didn't survive
Still they kept repeating headlines shouting the name
Do they not realize
The future demons with the hope of becoming the one at the top of the screen?
They've thrown morality away
With such depravity, I must say
You made sure the world will remember the name…
 

#9. This Is Halloween – Marilyn Manson
 

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween…
 

#10. Gates of Hell – Judas Priest
 

It's a long way down to purgatory
But we'll get there if you ride with me
You're invited, on your mind we'll feast
There's a place set at the table of the beast

Lose your mind and take control
Sign on the line and let the priest sell your soul

We'll go screaming through the gates of hell
We got fire in our veins
Oh, we're screaming through the gates of hell…

BONUS TRACK

Witch of the Woods – Year Of The Goat
 

It echoes through the dying trees
Gathered women sing for thee
(Open up the gate)
All wicked men left to their fate

Their blood runs cold
Cause they all know
It won't be good
Mmm the witch of the woods…
