Does anyone know anything I could play? My local ukulele club said they wanted us to bring some Halloween themed songs to our next meeting.

Can't help you with the chords or tabs, but some good Halloween themed songs include:

"This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman from Nightmare Before Christmas - also done by Marilyn Manson
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson
"Monster Mash" by Boris Pickett
"Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo
"Double Trouble" by John Williams on the Harry Potter Azkaban soundtrack
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr.
"I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow
"Vampires" by Pet Shop Boys
"Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones
"Hell" by Squirrel Nut Zippers
"Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance
"Theme from 'Halloween'" by John Carpenter
"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell

Stephen Lynch made a pretty good song about Halloween. And Type O Negative uses a lot of Halloween imagery in their songs. And of course there's The Misfits.

How about "Spooky"? It's two chords for 99% of the song.

Also, "Bad Moon Rising" is a fun and easy one for uke clubs.

I'll work on "Ghostbusters" later on today.

UkuleleMike (MusicTeacher2009) has a great tutorial for Monster Mash.

"Halloweenhead" by Ryan Adams is totally not family-friendly.

"J'aurais Toujours Faim de Toi (Hungry for You)" by The Police is a vampire song in French.

Howlin' Wolf's "I Ain't Superstitious," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"

If somebody could tab out this version of Ghostbusters it would be great.

How about some originals from UU's own?

mctrmt's "Hallowe'en Song"

My own "Zombie Bongo Limbo" (lyrics mostly by James Lileks)

I could really go for some "werewolf bar mitzvah"

Halloween by Dave Matthews Band.

Amazing song, not directly about Halloween but it's definitely evil. I will gladly tab that out for you if you so desire.

Spooky and Monster Mash are in volume 1 of the Santa Cruz songbook.

Werewolves of London is D C G over and over. I like to sing the words for that over Sweet Home Alabama.

Well if you're going for 60's novelty songs, let's not forget Haunted House by Jumpin' Gene Simmons (no, not that Gene Simmons).
