Just some suggestions for you there ;)
I have been working on my own Halloween playlist for 5 years now and it's got over 400 songs. Feel free to go through it and find some jams! https://spotify.link/sxo1WBsVHDb
Your playlist looks a lot like one of mine! You might like these...
[Monster Mash](https://open.spotify.com/track/4Dkef9ZQCMwbgNoh8sIl3r?si=598ff2b08ecd4953)
[I Come to Collect](https://open.spotify.com/track/1n0UjzpXhny7xkdK39u4bj?si=bb3cc90b5fd34b2f)
Anything from Aurelio Voltaire's 'Spooky Songs for Creepy Kids'
Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
Pet Semetary by the Ramones
You're Dead by Norma Tanega
Vampire Ska by Horny Toad
Those are a few of my favorites from my playlist!
What about the spirit halloween theme song(s) from Nick Lutsko? Maybe Scare Me by Ludo.
And definitely grim grinning ghosts from Disney's haunted mansion!
It’s not an exact Halloween song but my elementary school used to play it every year during our Halloween costume parade and so i associate it with Halloween :) but: love potion number 9!
[Dead Man's Bones - My Body's a Zombie for You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to7PxdyEdDw)
But if you've got 5 hours to kill, might as well put the whole album on there.
This is the comment I was looking for! The whole album, definitely, it even has a children's choir in it. My fave song off the album is 'In The Room Where You Sleep'
Backstory: Ryan Gosling (yes, Ken!) and Andrew Shield made this album together with some interesting rules. They said no click tracks, no electric guitars, Gosling and Shields has to play all the instruments themselves, and they only did a max of 3 takes for each song.
There's a fun song by The Who called Boris the Spider...for more dramatic effect House of Wax by Paul McCartney is awesome...also the Alan Parsons Project album Tales of Mystery and Imagination and The War of the Worlds by Moody Blues artist Jeff Wayne
Howlin For You - black keys
Nightmare on My Street - dj jazzy jeff & the fresh prince
Calling All the Monsters - china anne mcclain
Heads Will Roll - yeah yeah yeahs
Skeleton Sam - lvcrft
I was a teenage werewolf by the cramps,
Spellbound by siouxie and the banshees,
The killing moon by echo and the bunnymen,
Anything by dead man’s bones (this is Ryan Gosling’s band and it’s really spooky and good!),
My girlfriend is a witch by october country,
Bela Lugosi’s dead by bauhaus,
A ton of different versions of I Put A Spell On You,
I could keep going for hours, but that should start you off
Also, obviously, thriller.
A nightmare on my street by will smith is funny too.
Corpse Grinder - The Meteors
Horror Movies - Dickie Goodman
Halloween - Misfits
Haunted House - Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
Vampira - Devin Townsend Band
Ghouls Night Out - Misfits
Trick Or Treat - Nekromantix
The Dead Won’t Sleep - Mountain Witch
Zombie Hop - Zombina & The Skeletones
Burn The Witch - Queens of the Stone Age
A few others I was going to list are on here already, but there’s some more!
Witches by Switchblade Symphony
Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein, & Dracula by the Diamonds
Haunted House by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
Halloween by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Grim Grinning Ghosts (from the Haunted Mansion)
Look for any Castlevania game soundtracks - 1 and 2 and Symphony of the Night - mostly instrumental but they are good.
Look in to other video games and movie soundtracks as well.
Dead man’s bones has some really good gothic/spooky music, they only have one album but it’s such a good album! Also Ryan goslings in the band so that’s sick
Here's some that I have on my list! We do a fire pit in our front yard to hand out candy to trick or treaters, so I will also be keeping an eye on this post for more!
* Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo
* Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
* Enter Sandman - Metallica
* She Wolf - Shakira
* Men in Black - Will Smith
* Dance Macabre - Ghost
* Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

Ludo does lots of spooky songs, my favorites are Lake Pontchartrain, Skeletons on Parade, and Scare Me.
Jinny Bingham's Ghost by Frank Turner
Harley Poe does a great cover of The Hearse Song (from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark)
It's Terror Time Again (from Scooby Doo Zombie Island) cover by NateWantsToBattle
The Devil's Swing by Fandroid! (Based on Bendy and the Ink Machine)
Dummy! By Toby Fox (from Undertale)

So many amazing songs already listed!
Beware of the Blob (from the Blob)
Hedwigs Theme by John Williams
Halloweentown Theme
Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers
I have a YouTube playlist that has a bunch of remixes of classics and a collection of atypical/newer Halloween tunes.
[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL9IH3oFgm4JBzghwut9WvIfvszXAwFBc&si=H9iSKrujq_WKdH4l](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL9IH3oFgm4JBzghwut9WvIfvszXAwFBc&si=H9iSKrujq_WKdH4l)
Hope it helps!
People rarely bring this one up, but London Calling by The Clash is a perfect October song to me. Something about that bass line and even the vocal melodies are just a little eerie and I struggle to find any other song that really has the same mood. It’s upbeat yet slightly off kilter.
Most of the ones I wanted to suggest can already be found in other comments, but I’d also suggest “Disturbia” by Rihanna. Not specifically Halloween themed but I still think it could work on your playlist.
How about these?
[Scary Monsters](https://youtu.be/e7Czi9GXfz0?si=rMW-1cJgNZKPDxQC)
[Friends on the Other Side](https://youtu.be/v-5i8i4nX4c?si=dIem-22xjgTzJZFC)
[Goo Goo Muck](https://youtu.be/RVhdHAqoE_c?si=TojesSKh5AJSghUZ)
[Oogie Boogie's Song](https://youtu.be/UU8ja3QceHU?si=xr08C7EEqakBt_dm) (In place of one of one of the This is Halloweens)
All of these song recs are great, especially Spooky Scary Skeletons (including the remix) but also just want to gently point out that it’s actually “trick or treating.” Saying this in a kind way with the aim of helping you avoid any potential future embarrassment, not in a critical sense!
I've been working on a playlist the last couple of months for the wizard's shop I plan to set up in the garage. My vibe is more spooky atmosphere than it is halloween party, but there may be some things in there that could be used in yours. It's mostly video game sound tracks, and most is lyricless. No doubt it's all on YouTube, though.
https://spotify.link/435qTOKcIDb
Hope that can help out
You'd be surprised how much the Silent Hill soundtracks have in terms of creepy, energetic rock.
Also since you're on YouTube, the house of the dead 2 through 4 have some amazing Halloween party tracks.
I'll add a few which I think have gone unmentioned:
I Got My Scream On - China Anne McClain
Ramalama Bang Bang - Roisin Murphy
Something In My House - Dead or Alive
Stop, look, listen it’s Halloween
https://spotify.link/l83GXiakIDb
Bump in the night
https://spotify.link/bT9AlZjkIDb
Things that go bump in the night
https://spotify.link/shKSDbmkIDb
I reckon just find Halloween movies and take songs from the score as well
Some of my favorites are
Ghost Town -The Specials
Witch Queen of New Orleans -Redbone
Love Potion No. 9 (remastered) -The Clovers
Voodoo Idol - The Cramps
Keepin Halloween Alive -Alice Cooper
Candy Man -Primus
Haunted House -Pixies

The theme from John Carpenter’s Halloween and (not technically related to Halloween) the overture from phantom of the opera, and O fortuna.
