Scary music prelude

I'm working on a post about a halloween mix tape I made a few years ago. Every year in mid-october I find myself searching for creepy music. I know it's out there, but no one ever gives me a guide, or a way to think about looking.

Pitchfork put this up a few years ago. I've still never picked up any of these records, mostly because (no surprise, given the arena) they're too obscure to be found in any of my record haunts. Still, if you run across any of these albums, drop me a line and let me know if they live up to the hype:
