31 Days of Halloween 2009 - Ghost Hunt


Quick summary: there's ghosts (or psychic manifestations) and it's up to Kazuya Shibuya (spoiler alert: not his real name), a teenage supernatural expert; Mai Taniyama, a high school student he roped into helping him; his laconic assistant, Lin Kouji; and a number of psychic/magic contractors he hires for various reasons to solve the mystery and dispose of any evil spirits along the way.

Not as light as it initially appears, Ghost Hunt can pack the horror into some of its episodes. If you ignore the whole seeming shoujo concept of the arrogant guy and the plucky girl who tags along and acts as both comic relief and love interest (the latter, to my utter relief, does not happen in the anime), it's actually pretty creepy at times (especially in Arc 7).

With that in mind, have some fairly cheesy tracks for it.

Matthew Sweet - Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost of Stephen Foster
Jonathan Coulton - Creepy Doll
[I've used this last track before, but it's too good for one of the episode arcs not to use it]
