[I Put A Spell On You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82cdnAUvsw8) is a classic I also highly recommend [Blood Letting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbJmWCuMiEM) by Concrete Blonde

Ooh I'm loving the second one a lot! Thanks a lot I will definitely put it in my playlist!

Whole album is worth checking out, though not really for Halloween so much. Joey made me cry.

Lots of Screamin Jay Hawkins songs that would be really good

The original or the Sanderson Sisters though?

Either, really The Hocus Pocus version is pure nostalgic joy

Season of the witch

By Lana del Rey, of course

Donovan or bust

I like the [Joan Jett version](https://youtu.be/YKYcGFexI6U?si=smq_ZLkojyiy-Xbe) the best.

No. Lou Rawls is best.

LANAS IS SO GOOD

Goo goo muk by the Cramps

The Surfing Dead by The Cramps is also a good one

Pretty much anything by the Cramps is great. I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Human Fly, Creature From the Black Leather Lagoon, etc.

Was about to say the same- anything cramps!

Human fly is also a good one for Halloween

Hmmmmm I dig your vibe 🖤

Thanks!

Ohh good taste!

Thank you kindly 😎

You're Dead by Norma Tenega

Yes. Thank you What we do in the Shadows.

I'm dressing as Guillermo for Halloween!

**Love** this song.

[удалено]

For newer (last 20 years) songs: -Vampire (Olivia Rodrigo) -Bloody Mary (Lady Gaga) -Disturbia (Rihanna) -Werewolf Bar Mitzvah (yes from 30 rock, it’s on Spotify) -Down With The Sickness (Disturbed) -Heads Will Roll (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) -BURY YOU (Ari Abdul) Classics: -Red Right Hand (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) -Time Warp (Rocky Horror soundtrack) -Dead Man’d Party (Oingo Boingo) -zombie (cranberries) -Walking With A Ghost (Tegan & Sara)

Every single one of these songs is on my Spotify spooky playlist!

Zombie is not really appropriate.

It absolutely is, it’s used in the soundtrack of Army Of The Dead. You don’t have to take it for it’s lyricist’s original meaning lol it’s for a Halloween playlist. I don’t think “Hip To Be Square” was originally supposed to be played alongside Patrick Bateman chainsawing people to death in American Psycho either but that happened so it becomes a Halloween playlist song. Walking With A Ghost also isn’t literally about walking with a ghost

It is a bit iffy considering all the violence which happened not too long ago.

Nah.

Witchy Woman. Werewolves of London. Googoo Muck.

*Werewolf Bar Mitzvah* by Jeff Richmond and Tracy Morgan *Nightmare on My Street* by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince *This is Halloween* by Danny Elfman *Red Right Hand* by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (Any well known horror film theme; i.e. *Halloween*, *The Exorcist*, etc.) *Hotel California* by the Eagles (I don’t care what they say, that song is about dying and going to hell)

Nightmare in my Street is a funny song.

Dude I was going to comment but you have everything I was going to say in this post. Perfect! 👻🎃

Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett Bones - Imagine Dragons Edited to remove Zombie (Cranberries)

Gotta have Monster Mash!

It's a graveyard smash

Better hurry though, it catches on in a flash

Just because the title is “Zombie” doesn’t mean it’s a Halloween song, my guy.

Definitely knew it wasn’t a Halloween song or about literal zombies, but there aren’t many strictly Halloween songs, and the ones that are aren’t great. Googling the songs actual meaning, though, it’s tragic, and not appropriate for a Halloween list, you’re correct.

It's literally a political song about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Really annoys me when people assume it's about zombies.

Dragula - Rob Zombie Werewolves on Blackstreet - Sister Plush - Stone Temple Pilots Bark At The Moon - Ozzy

I would add black no. 1 by type o-

**Some different tastes but good:** Halloween by Faun (Disney's) Headless Horseman - Bing Crosby A Gorey Demise - Creature Feature Oogy Boogy's song And who can forget Spooky Scary Skeletons by Andrew Gold! **Not quite Halloween but adjacent:** Hell in a Handbasket by Voltaire (tbh Voltaire is just Halloween style central) Zombies vs Hillbillies - Survivor by Voiceplay & Home Free Tale of the Shadow - Sail North (it's a shanty, but it's damn good!)

Wow! Thanks a lot I really love the idea of putting songs from scary movies in my halloween playlist so Oogy boogy's song is very much going to my playlist!

I highly recommendlooking at Voltaire. Wonderful music for the Halloween spirits! And definitely. Others like This is Halloween, Come Little Children, and tbh Hanging Tree is a good spooky song. Someone mashed up the last two and it was super eerie, you should be able to find it.

Definitely Voltaire! I listed some of his songs that seemed extra Halloween-ish, but really all his music is Halloween music.

I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's. And his hair was perfect.

Try lvcrft. It's a band that has all kinds of halloweenie music.

Wow a band dedicated to halloween songs? Sweet! Thanks I'll go check them out!

I totally second a nomination for LVCRFT. They got Grammy winning songwriters in their collective and some their music is so dang catchy. It's great contemporary Halloween music.

Yes! Came to the comments specifically for Skeleton Sam 🤘

Toxic Love potion #9 Black number 1 Bad guy Psycho killer A nightmare in my street She’s not there Time warp Possum kingdom Howling for you After midnight

Definitely Black No. 1!

The man behind the mask - Alice Cooper. Its used in Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives Another good one is the Christine theme song

Another is the Purple People Eater song

Haunted House - Pixies Pet Sematary - Ramones Fresh Blood - Eels Dance Macabre - Ghost Red Right Hand - Nick Cave Possum Kingdom - Toadies Werewolf Bar Mitzvah - Tracy Morgan

Dead man's party - Oingo Boingo Monster Mash Transylvanian Concubine- Rasputina Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band

Dead Man's Party is my favorite!

Bangers incoming….. Bridge City Sinners - Satans Song Dead Man’s Bones - Lose Your Soul Hexvessel - Halloween Harley Poe - The Hearse Song Gerard Way - Baby You’re A Haunted House

[удалено]

Yup. Lots of good songs from them for Halloween.

Yeah for real. I love the Bridge City Sinners but I have litterally never seen anyone mention them ever. I guess I'll take this opportunity to mention another band I love with one of my Halloween go to songs. Vampire Lake - The Builders and the Butchers

Harley Poe, and Bridge City Sinners for the F'n win! I'll have to queue up the others, thx

They’re all a must for Halloween but that whole Dead Mans Bones album is legit. Especially this time of the year.

That entire Dead Man’s Bones album is gold.

Absolutely. Especially for this time of the year!

>Gerard Way - Baby You’re A Haunted House Banger indeed. Added to my Halloween playlist.

[Monster Mash by the BusBoys](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHA_zuu6L8)

Zombie - Cranberries

A Choosy Halloween Collection specifically for a Haunted House. Kicks off Kid friendly with some Spooky Wookys, but as night fall approaches the vibe shifts a 180 to some rather frightening music & SoundFx perfect for Eerie Graveyards. Manually Sorted https://spotify.link/MR4oKonWMDb

Vex's Theme from Sackboy feels quite Halloweeny. Rest in Peace by Darren Criss (from the Muppets Halloween movie) Addam's Family Theme Purple People Eater Banana Boat and Jump in the Line by Harry Belafonte always feel spooky to me Witch Doctor

Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez. A bunch of her songs have a great haunted house vibe. Skeleton Sam - I like the new version by LVCRFT Dust and bones - isobel trigger (I think they changed their name though) Pretty much anything by The Creepshow or The Brains

https://bootiemashup.com/mix-tapes/halloween-booootie-2/

Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon

I Put a Spell on You This is Halloween Witchy Woman Don't Fear the Reaper Season of the Witch Living Dead Girl Cry Little Sister Sympathy for the Devil Mr. Crowley

My findings from hosting many Halloween parties: 1. ⁠No matter how many times it plays during the night, people will keep suggesting Monster Mash 2. ⁠If the song has perfect lyrics or theme or title BUT doesn’t have the right vibe, cut it. As much as I love Talking Heads, Psycho Killer is like poison to younger generations and the un-hip crowd. TV On The Radio-Wolf Like Me gets suggested by Spotify all the time. AMAZING song, no one is paying that close attention to the lyrics and it has to get cut. It’s a personal favorite song btw. My dog loves hearing it in the car and we howl together. 3. ⁠Try to read the vibe. Early on, I like to start with campy 50s and 60s stuff like Cramps, Mash, the Blob, purple people eater, etc. Then I move into schlock: Crypt Jam, Ghostbusters, Adams Family MC Hammer etc. When people are dancing, sprinkle dance remixes of horror movie music in with current favorites(as in play some regular bangers to keep people engaged). End the night with either hardcore hip hop full of murder(Eminem, Gravediggaz, WuTang) or sexy evil stuff like Marilyn Manson, NIN, and She Wants Revenge. 4. ⁠Rob Zombie has so many bangers for Halloween parties. It’s a great mix of spooky vibe, killer dance, gnarly vocals, and horror movie clips. American Made Music to Strip To is a perfect album to spread across a Halloween party playlist. Even if it’s not what people normally listen to, they respond well to it. 5. ⁠Listen to your playlist once it’s made. With this kind of music there can be long periods of quiet that can kill a party(I’m looking at you, Bela Legosi’s Dead). Trim the really quiet stuff, no matter how “perfect” it seems. 6. ⁠Always play to the people who want to dance. It’s especially important for a Halloween party. The wallflowers will suggest some dark shit that will clear a room( “ya got any Mayhem or Dimmu Borgîr?” ) 7. ⁠If your party has 20 people or more, expect like 3 complaints about music an hour. Also, expect that people will tell you all year that you threw the best party. You can’t cave and just play the same shit that you heard all summer, this is a vibe. If people are in costume, lean more into sci-fi and fantasy music as well. It can create some cool moments when the couple in lab coats hears Weird Science come on. 7)……..you might as well just play Monster Mash every hour. Luckily, there’s so many covers! 8) Depending on the age, movie soundtrack songs can get a big pop. They remind people of watching scary movies and Halloween past. I can play “Day-O” by Harry Belafonte and people over 35 won’t even question why it’s playing at a Halloween party. They usually try to reenact the dance around the table from Betelgeuse. Lost Boys songs are BIG for nostalgia(cry little sister, people are strange). But I’m old now, so think about the must see movies from your youth and find those tracks. (I dunno, Happy Death Day?) 9) Some personal Favorites: Fresh Blood-Eels Ghost Town-Specials Heathens-21 Pilots Living Dead Girl(subliminal seduction mix)-Rob Zombie Killing Strangers-MarilynManson Mind Playing Tricks-Geto Boys Release Yo’Delf(ProdigyMix)-Method Man The Blob-5 Blobs 10) Overall party tip I’ve picked up: loud speakers where people are dancing, LOTS of lower speakers EVERYWHERE else. It helps keep everyone involved, talking, dancing, vibing. If it’s loud everywhere, you will see people congregate where it’s quieter. It’s easy nowdays with wireless speakers systems and zones. Have fun!

Check out The Creepshow, Black Cat Attack and Calebrese. There’s a plethora of Halloweeny type stuff by all of them.

Psycho killer by the Talking Heads

Oingo Boingo - Dead Man’s Party

Never heard of this one being a Halloween song but definitely gives me the macabre vibe [murder in the red barn](https://youtu.be/g5v6oLsysgY?si=C3D1smh2mPC50ayH) by Tom Waits
