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

•  The Rosemary's Baby theme

•  Tales from the Crypt theme

•  Dark Shadows theme

•  The Crow theme

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

•  "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

•  "Tubular Bells" (The Exorcist theme)

•  "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner (aka Elmer Fudd's "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!")
