Poll Suggestion: I Listen to "The Undead"
Intro:
Last year's Halloween, I asked you about music from dead composers that fit to Halloween. This year, it's the turn of still living composers to evoke the atmosphere of Halloween. They are not dead, so I call them "undead" for Halloween. Please also vote in Part I: I Listen to Dead People
Which of these undead's melodies evokes Halloween the best? Click here for slideshow.
Please discuss here.
Suggestion:
Images from scenes in which living composer composed the score. Please with image and name of the composer.
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4151169624/
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4151169624/copy
Poll: TBD

When I saw that Bobby "Boris" Pickett's hit song "The Monster Mash" was not included in your first list, I thought that he must still be alive. Alas, he passed in 2007. So I guess that we won't be doing "the mash! We did the monster mash. The Monster Mash! It was a graveyard smash!" in your next poll.
Look up the song on Youtube if you are unfamiliar (or if it never traveled across the Atlantic).

I don't think "enchant" is the right word. Perhaps "evoke":
evoke the atmosphere of Halloween
evokes Halloween the best?
I was a little confused by the mention of Nick Cave and the X-Files theme. The theme was composed by Mark Snow, it appears Cave recorded a version of it.

@Breumaster,
For your consideration:
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565) is used in various horror films. The first was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931). [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022835/soundtrack/]
It was also used in:
The Black Cat (1934) [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024894/soundtrack/]
The Phantom of the Opera (1962) [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056347/soundtrack/]
Tales from the Crypt (1972) [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069341/soundtrack/]
