Halloween Songs

I suspect someone has asked this before, but if the forum has a search engine, I'm not seeing it. So please forgive me if I'm being redundant -- anybody know some good pop/ballroom songs with a Halloween theme?

So far, I can thing of:
Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana) -- [Samba or Merenque] -- Jimmy Buffet
Magic Time-- [Fox Trot (magic rhythm)] -- Michael Johnson
Moon over Bourbon Street -- [Fox Trot] -- Sting
Phantom of the Opera -- [Tango] -- Soundtrack
Rhiannon -- [Swing] -- Fleetwood Mac
Don't Fear the Reaper - [swing] - Blue Oyster Cult
Excitable Boy - [swing] - Warren Zevon
Werewolves of London - [several] - Warren Zevon
In the Midnight Hour - [West Coast/others] - Wilson Pickett


Some of these might be more of a "reach" in terms of theme than others.

Monster Mash seems to have several possibilities of workable dances, and MJ's Thriller has been described as a Paso Doble, a dance of which I know next to nothing and so can't really comment. Anybody else have suggestions?

I went to a dance a few days ago at which the band(!) played a "Monster Mash" Cha-Cha. It worked well as a cha and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Other suggestions:
(Full) Moondance--OK, that's pretty weak
Witchcraft
Don't Be Cruel
Tango Misterioso
Witchy Woman

Harry Belafonte's "Zombie Jamboree" is a fun mambo/ salsa.

The addams family theme song could be a tango and thriller could be a chacha
