Halloween parties are easy to throw because the guests practically come dressed as decorations. You already have a few festive cocktails and creative party games. But to really set the vibe, you’ll need a goblin-approved playlist, too. We selected 15 awesome songs, ranging from your favorite movie soundtracks to the spookiest radio hits suitable for your in-home or nightclub Halloween bash this October.
- “Monster Mash” by Bobby (Boris) Pickett- Yes, you’ve heard it a million times before. But no, it hasn’t gotten any less catchy.
- “I Put a Spell On You” by Bette Midler- Disney’s wicked ’90s hit Hocus Pocus features the quirky Sanderson sisters, who wreak havoc on a small town. Bette Midler’s rendition always puts you in the holiday spirit.
- “Thriller” by Michael Jackson- There’s nothing quite like Michael Jackson and his posse of zombie dancers. You just can’t resist mimicking all their iconic moves as it plays from your Sony High Power Home Audio System with Bluetooth from Buydig.com.
- “Ghostbusters” Theme by Ray Parker Jr.- You won’t be afraid of ghosts when you’re jamming to this classic.
- “This Is Halloween” by The Citizens of Halloween- Jack Skellington’s passion for this fright-filled holiday is pretty contagious.
- “The Purple People Eater” by Sheb Wooley- It’s about a creature from another world who comes to Earth to be in a rock band.
- “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell- These eerie lyrics about being followed are punched up with a little ’80s pizzazz making for one spooky song.
- “Time Warp” by Little Nell, Patricia Quinn, & Richard O’Brien- A jump to the left and step to the right are the heart and soul behind the cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
- “The Adams Family” Theme by Vic Mizzy- A goth daughter named after a weekday, a cousin who’s literally hidden by hair, of course we had to include the scariest family of all time on this list.
- “Halloween” Theme by John Carpenter- The slasher movie franchise may include a whopping 11 flicks, but the original soundtrack is undeniably the best. Just cross your fingers that Michael Myers doesn’t show up to the party.
- “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon- It’s impossible to not howl along to this 1978 rock track.
- “Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead!” by The Munchkins- Okay, so The Wizard of Oz doesn’t have much to do with Halloween. But you have to agree that the sentiment is appropriate, and the song is just so fun.
- “Psycho Killer” by The Talking Heads- This new wave band wrote this scary song from a murderer’s viewpoint. So there’s no denying that the chorus is absolutely killer.
- “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder- We agree with Stevie Wonder. It doesn’t always pay to be superstitious. But we can still be a little apprehensive about breaking mirrors and crossing black cats on Halloween!
- “Season of the Witch” by Donovan- The hippie vibes of this psychedelic rock may not seem scary, but the song’s appeared in everything from Halloween III to American Horror Story.
There’s only a few scary sleeps left until Halloween. So for a night of fright this year, gather your best-disguised friends for an evening of devilish fun, and set the stage with this mix. When the party is over, continue the spookiness by listening to the mix on your own Audio-Technica QuietPoint Active Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones by Buydig.com.
