So...you already have spooky lights, cobwebs, and a bomb costume all ready for your Halloweekend. But what about that playlist? No offense to the Swifties in the room, but The Life of a Showgirl is just NOT going to vibe with your bloody vampire costume. Sorry. What we need is Halloween songs, and good ones!
Anyway, there’s no need to stress about your playlist. Here are a bunch of scary, ooky spooky Halloween songs to stream all night long. There are classics (“Ghostbusters,” by Ray Parker Jr.), newer hits (KATSEYE’s “Monster High Fright Song”), and, of course, a few iconic theme songs to set the perfect terrifying mood. Now go forth and do the monster mash.
