Dead Cat Bounce by Nathaniel Jack or Double Cat Bounce by Chris Page. 
Evil Duane by Erik Weberg.  Hocus Pocus by Lisa Greenleaf.  Snake Oil Reel by Roger Diggle.  Lucky 7 mixer.  Some of these are just generically spooky, but they might fill a useful niche.  Can't wait to hear what the eventual program is!
