Recommend me Halloween music for a bar!

So, as I'm sure a handful of you are aware, the month of October is nearly upon us. I'm looking for some good Halloween or spooky-themed music for my bar's karaoke nights for this coming month.
Recommendations don't have to be overtly related to the month, as even songs that don't have that Halloween sound can still work if their lyrics are about lycanthropy and such.
An example would be something like this:

I also particularly like the Shelleyan nature of mashups, so good ones are always welcome. Things like the following are great even if they don't have a tie to Halloween:

I've already got a halfway decent collection of songs, and I'll keep an ongoing list as more are introduced in the thread.
List below:
I have to catch a flight, and I'm not with my music collection at the moment, so that's all I can remember off hand. Let's get this suggestion train going!

but they're listening to every word I say
monster
mash
here is the whole album (if you go to the youtube site instead of the inline video, it has links in the description for where the different songs start)
Also, I thought of something else fun.
Cake - Pentagram
Also, Possum Kingdom by Toadies. It's about vampires.
but they're listening to every word I say
youtube.com/watch?v=wTfyz7Y0_Qs
As the video makes clear, that's a remix, which is a little more club-oriented. The actual song is a bit more strange, but regardless, it's a song about a four-legged zombie tearing up the dance floor at a monster dance party.
but they're listening to every word I say
Beetlejuice theme:
Modern take on the above:
Twilight Zone - Golden Earrings
3DS FC: 4699-5714-8940 Playing Pokemon, add me! Ho, SATAN!
I'm actually kinda surprised nobody suggested it yet.
You also can't go wrong with these songs either:
RJD2's "Ghostwriter:"
Superdrag's "Do The Vampire:"
Tom Petty's "Zombie Zoo:"
Neko Case's "Furnace Room Lullaby" is also a pretty good ghost story, in song form:
Lemon Demon's "Goosebumps" is a bit goofy, but lots of fun:
There's also Nouvelle Vague's cover of "Human Fly:"
And last, but not least, Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Little Demon:"
I'm mostly recommending this one, "The Final Hour" by King Geedorah, because it samples the theme for Dark Shadows:
You could also go with Tegan and Sara's "Walking With A Ghost:"
Or how about Aim's "Demonique?"
Okay, that was the last one, I promise
(ok maybe not this one haha)
ehhhhh? ehhhhhh? ok maybe I'm not so great at the karaoke recommendations
is good background music though if you're just into remixes of awesome songs
eta: wait for real nobody put werewolves of london yet? SHAME
edited to add:
(supplementary materials)
Trying to think of a tragically hip song that would fit, I know there was one but brain farting on it atm
It is a good song.
It's not necessary they be iconic, just so long as they keep the vibe of fun, spooky themes that can keep people's energy up.
I couldn't find on youtube tho, found it on Lyricswow, it was one of their first songs

There were some artists suggested that I had an interest in, like Rob Zombie and the psychobilly stuff suggested by @Crayon, but it'd help a lot to have a suggested starting point (albums or individual songs are great). There was honestly a lot of good stuff here, and hopefully this can help others with their Halloween-themed parties in the near future.
