For me, there is nothing better than a horror movie with an amazing soundtrack. Music that announces the villain, lulls us into a false sense of security, and mourns the fallen makes these movies what they are. Parties are no exception. Setting the mood with the perfect playlist is my favorite part of pulling a celebration together. There is so much out there, so open up your hearts and your devices for a tidal wave of inspiration.
For those of you that need a little nudge in the right direction, I've put together a new playlist. This year's list includes some new favorites as well as two of my three favorite pieces of classical music (You got my number one last year, in Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain).
So, without any more babble from me, I give you the Goldiluxe Halloween Hit List for 2013:
O Fortuna-Carl Orff: This is the opening piece from Orff's masterpiece, Carmina Burana. Once you hear it, you'll know it instantly. It is a stirringly amazing piece that is as chilling as it is incredible.
