Ringtone roundup: Ringtone and run for Halloween
It seems people are already thinking about dressing up their phones for the upcoming holiday season.
The theme song to Halloween is this week's Billboard No. 1 ringtone.
Whether your Halloween party theme is "bad high school prom" (like the one I got invited to) or just the regular "come as a freak," certainly it's fun to spice up your incoming calls with a unique seasonal ringtone.
But surely CNET's readers can get more original than the theme to Halloween.
Here are some ideas for fun and unique Halloween/autumn ringtones from the CNET writers and editors. Please add your ideas to the list.
• "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" by the White Stripes
• "Autumn Leaves" by Miles Davis
• "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" by Bach (spooky-sounding pipe organs)
• "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon
• "She's not There" by the Zombies
• "Ave Satani" (them from The Omen) by Jerry Goldsmith
• The Addams Family theme

• "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers
