Some favorite spooky, creepy anime-related tunes and videos for the Halloween weekend.<\/p>\n

Ghost Hound<\/b><\/i> was a major disappointment, but the opening song, Mayumi Kojima’s “Poltergeist,” is terrific.<\/p>\n

Here is Susumu Hirasawa’s “Parade” from Paprika<\/b><\/i>, illustrated with scenes from the movie.<\/p>\n

(Although Hirasawa may be best-known to anime fans for his soundtracks to Satoshi Kon’s work, he’s had a long and interesting career stretching back to the ’70’s. Of particular note is his influential synth-rock band P-Model. Look for the first album, In a Model Room<\/a><\/b><\/i> (good luck finding it), and see where Hiroyuki Hayashi really got his ideas. (There’s also a K-On<\/b><\/i> connection, which you can discover for yourself.))<\/p>\n

Here’s the cheerful, upbeat ending song to the heartwarming series Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei<\/b><\/i> (So Long, Mr. Despair<\/b><\/i>).<\/p>\n

The opening of Hakaba Kitaro<\/b><\/i> (Graveyard Kitaro<\/b><\/i>) was storyboarded by the spasmodically brilliant Kenji Nakamura in Shigeru Mizuki’s style.<\/p>\n

Here’s something you might remember from years gone by.<\/p>\n

Let’s end with a tender lullaby by Hirasawa from Paranoia Agent<\/b><\/i>. ((If you want something a little livelier, try the opening<\/a>.))<\/p>\n
