Welcome back, Spooky Friends!
I would like to start out the month sharing my personal collection of Halloween tracks that have haunted me over the years. I know there are a lot of spooky songs out there, but I am very particular in what I have on my list as I tend to really start listening to the playlist in August.
The songs are in alphabetical order, some are old, new, pop, rock, rap, etc.
Below are the songs I added to the list this year:
Creep – Sam Tinnesz & Club Danger
Halloween – AFI
Halloween – Dead Kennedys
Halloween – JP Ashkar
Halloween – The Misfits
Halloween – Siouxsie & The Banshees
I’m Your Boogieman – Rob Zombie
Monster Mash – The Misfits & John Cafiero
Here’s a few songs that are on my playlist and why I like ’em.
Abracadabra – Steve Miller Band
Classic magic rock, wand waves, mystery, sparkles in the dark
Addams Groove – MC Hammer
Funky and fun. Imagining the Addams Family dancing makes me laugh.
Black Magic Woman – Santana
Slow, haunting, with that sense of incantation. Perfect for twilight. ( The time of day not movie.)
(Don’t Fear)The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
Ghostly, moody, a reminder that death is always part of the story.
Grim Grinning Ghosts – Los Lobos
Love the Haunted Mansion. I can practically hear our ghost host calling.
Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Jr.
For when you need a playful break from the eerie stuff.
Halloween – The Misfits/Siouxsie & The Banshees
Punk + Goth = Full-on Halloween energy
In the Room Where you Sleep – Dead Man’s Bones
Soft, strange, surreal, This one lingers long after it stops.
Spook, Scary Skeletons (Remix) – Andrew Gold
Dance party for my skeleton friends.
Thriller – Michael Jackson
The king of Halloween songs.
I tend to listen to my playlist while driving my car, at work, and while working on my hobbies. It helps keep the mood spooky.
I’m always searching for that next song. If you’ve got some recommendations, send them my way, they might end up on the list.
Let this be your spine-tingling companion all through October and beyond.
