What do horror film soundtracks and hair-raising hits like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” have in common? Halloween. The scariest season of the year wouldn’t be the same without hearing at least one song featuring a creaking door, a howl, or a cackling laugh. Luckily, some of the celebration’s most popular and terrifying tracks are being performed at Candlelight Halloween Specials. Discover this Halloween-themed plan for a ready-made dose of something sinister.
Taking place at The Laurel Packinghouse this October, sink your fangs into a spooky spectacle and beware of the shadows that the candles cast.

Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
A combination of funky Halloween songs and scores from famous horror movies, the program is grotesquely good. Gory images and horrified screams will come to mind while the talented string quartet plays on. That’s not to say this uniquely chilling Candlelight performance isn’t for kids. Anybody over the age of eight can appreciate a playful tribute to Halloween’s classics.
Beware because music from The Exorcist, Ghostbusters, and Psycho, among others, features on the fear-inducing setlist. In addition, trembling attendees will hear Franz Schubert’s Der Erlkönig and Camille Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre.
Candlelight: Best Horror Movie Soundtracks
Candlelight has the most original plan for this Halloween with which you will surely surprise that cinephile friend, that family member who loves scary movies, or that special person who simply wants to enjoy an evening of good music with you. Just imagine a spooky environment, only illuminated with candles, the chords of stringed instruments, and the best classics: from the theme songs of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween to music from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, and Goblin.
Something wicked this way comes, folks, and it’s set to be one of the most popular plans among concertgoers and horror fans. Spread the word to your friends and family, and let the music possess you. A good scare every now and again is needed, and going to a Halloween-themed concert is the lesser of most evils for those in favour of a gentle fright.
All those suspenseful music notes and screeching melodies are part of the mischief and fear associated with the most frightful month of the year. And with typically two performances each night, and the show lasting between 60-65 minutes, there’s plenty of time to get in the Halloween spirit. Doors open at least 30 minutes before the start time.
