I'm creating a mood music playlist for a outdoor Halloween party. I need some suggestions?

Question

I'm specifically looking music that is "mood" music that are background track types. Lyrics are ok, but instrumental only is always better. For example, so far I have:

Haunted Carnival Music; Kids singing ring around the rosie (creepy style); 1,2, Freddies coming for you; background music from The Ring, etc.

I am NOT looking for all the normal Halloween songs that have loud rock guitar or those old pop hits like Thriller, Monster Mash, Time Warp, Pet Cemetery.

I'm hoping for a couple of hours of variety, so lots of suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
