Do you know why ghosts aren't very good music fans? They always say, "Boo."

That's why when it came time to create the perfect soundtrack for trick-or-treating and Halloween parties, we turned to you for help.

Last week, we asked for your nominations for Creepy Classics, the classical music that stirs feelings of dread, fear or suspense. You responded enthusiastically, and we took those suggestions and built the ballot below.

Between now and Wednesday, Oct. 27, we're asking you to vote on these Creepy Classics. You can vote early and often if you so choose.

Then, be sure to listen on Friday, Oct. 30 — Halloween — as we count down the Creepy Classics Top 13.

We'll feature one track per hour (except for 1 and 2 p.m.) until 7 p.m., at which time Bill "Warlock" Morelock will come back from the "dead" to count down the final five during the seven o'clock hour, creating the perfect trick-or-treating soundtrack.

Thanks for participating … and Happy Halloween!
