Halloween Playlist

I'm currently working in a fancy dress store, and the manager has specified that over the next few weeks we cant have whatever radio station we want on in the store any more, instead all songs must be from the Halloween Playlist, which we can add to, but must involve songs that are either spooky or popular movie related.
So I'm looking for suggestions to add to it, heres the thing though, I'm looking for the most tenuous suggestions possible. To illustrate what I mean, someone snuck in "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in there today and in between the 80th rotation of Thriller, Ghostbusters and The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack it was like a goddamn cool summer breeze.
So basically the more variety we have, the more chance we have of surviving the next few weeks without going insane, the only criterea is it needs to be somewhat accessable (radio friendly metal is fine, black metal isnt) and I need to be able to defend its inclusion with a straight face if the manager decides to pop in while its playing.
Suggestions please!

Are there any more appropriate Funk/pop tracks? More upbeat, less spooky, still somehwat halloween related.
e.g "im your boogie man" by kcand the sunshine band which has been holding up well.
On second thought, it is pretty spooky.
