Helloween- Metal Jukebox. They do a cover of Hocus Pocus and some other nice stuff aswell ------------- Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat? |

Well, thanks for the link but I'm fishing for progressive bands only. And I wouldn't exactly classify Helloween as progressive although they do have their moments. -------------

| I have been using Ange's Cimetiere des Arlequins for the past 20 years as Halloween music. Shaun Guerin's "Monsters in my Room" is a recent "ghoulish" track that is sheer brilliance. Also , though not prog, Bauhaus and Peter Murphy !!! |

PULSAR, no doubt about it: not only their "Halloween" album, which is creepy in an ethereal fashion, but also their previous two efforts, "Pollen" and "The Strands of teh Future", all of them so dense and so full of mysterious vibrations, creepy indeed.
For something more frontally creepy, try "Faust Wakes Nosferatu", teh German's band experience in post-rock ambiences, creating a different sinister soundtrack to the aforesaid film. This is as close to old fashioned krautrock as Faust ever gets.
Kind regards.

Jacula, Arachnoid, Univers Zero, Dr. Z, early Alan Parsons Project, Morte Macabre....these should work pretty well if you only want prog, and I'm sure I'll think of many many others after I post. btw, there have been two good threads aside from this which should help out, just use the search thingy. 
edit: looks like darqdean posted one of those topics...reminds me, Alice Cooper iz teh awwesum for all hallows eve!! ------------- Signature Writers Guild on strike |

Steve Roach's Darkest Before Dawn is the best. One hour and fourteen minutes of music that sounds like the cold depths of space.

| Ars Nova has some pretty spooky stuff, seeing as their second biggest influence (behind ELP) is Goblin. Their album Android Domina is completely Halloween-ready. |

As a single track, ELP's Toccatta was one of my early favorites as a kid. Was a big Halloween and sci-fi, monster movie, etc. fan.

Let me reiterate...

"Polytown" by DAVID TORN, MICK KARN & TERRY BOZZIO wouldn't be out of place. Maybe I'll play it after UZ's "Heresie" and PULSAR's "Halloween" that evening after I return home from work.
Kind regards.
