Halloween - Aqua = The title says it all. Aqua has made a fun, kid-friendly song that you just can't help but feel like a trick or treater all over again

Thriller- Michael Jackson = You hear this every Halloween but can you do the Thriller Dance? Get your moonwalk on and let Vincent Price's voice send shivers up your spine.

This is Halloween – Nightmare Before Christmas = Well to state the obivious it is All Hallow's Eve so why not share it with the citizens of Halloween town?

Black Magic – Little Mix = "Take a sip from a secret potion and I'll make you fall in love." Need I say more?

Monster Mash – Bobby Picket = Ever since the 60s we still can't get enough of this classic party song. So catch a jolt from Bobby's electrode and boogie!

Superstitious – Stevie Wonder = Very suspicious that this doesn't always make the fold on people's playlists. I find Stevie's voice and horn instruments bring a great Halloween vibe to any party.

Backstreet’s Back – Backstreet Boys = If anyone can remind someone of Halloween all year long it's the Backstreet Boys. Their music video alone give a nice horror flick feel.

Disturbia – Rihanna = Awesome beat, chilling lyrics. What else could you ever want in a frightful festival?

Supermassive Black Hole – Muse = Although I am not a fan of the movie "Twilight" I loved this song. It goes great with those who want to party the night away.

Monster – Eminem featuring Rihanna = Are you friends with the monsters inside of your head? This song can help you with that insanity.

Psycho Killer – Talking Heads = How many psycho killers do we see on Halloween? Ask John Carpenter, he'll tell you. But this song has a good grove with some freaky lyrics.

Ghostbusters – Ray J Parker = Who are you going to call? In this case, Ray J Parker all the way. An 80s movie that we all still love today gives that nostalgic vibe.

Highway to Hell – AC/DC = AC/DC has a few good songs but for Halloween, go for this song. Strangely it reminds me of "Ghost Rider" (both the movie and comic.)

Raise a Little Hell – Trooper = Isn't this what we are all trying to do on Halloween anyway? Put it into a song I say.

Big Bad Wolf – The Wolf Sisters = From the movie, "Teen Wolf." This is a song that has a fantastic song for all of the Lycantropes.

Time Warp – The Rocky Horror Picture Show = Played every Halloween at midnight (or the Exorcist depending on the channel), all of us can't help but sing out "Time Warp" every time we hear it.

Feed my Frankenstein - Alice Cooper = A hard rock song that sends shivers up your spine? Yes please. Alice Cooper knows how to deliver a song that not only rocks but is perfect for our favorite fight night.

Black Horse – Katy Perry featuring Jessie J = So you wanna play Katy? I recommend this song because it sounds so witchy, catchy, and magical.

Man eater – Nelly Furtado = Who wants to run into one of these? Stay away from Chainsaws in Texas. Nelly Furtado gives us a great dance song that says mystery, unknown, and a good old fashioned "Watch out!" in this playful song.

She Wolf – Shakira = Want an 80s beat with a mix of sexy? This is the perfect song for all of us who have a party animal inside us.

Sweet but Psycho – Ava Max = This song reminds me of the darker side of Alice in Wonderland. If you ever read some fan fiction, played some horror videogames, or even just watch Tim Burton's version of this story; this is the song for you.

Bury a Friend – Billie Eilish = Hip, fun, and yet reminds us all of our mortality. Billie brings a good scare with this catchy tune.

Die Another Day – Madonna = This is probably what every undead being thinks of when they are created. Never-the-less, this fierce, intense Bond-anthem is the perfect song to play in a Halloween Bash.

A Nightmare on My Street – DJ Jazzy and the Fresh Prince = Classic Will Smith. Gotta love it! Since I was a kid, Will Smith has always entertained me everyday of the year. Why not on my favorite holiday?

Someone’s Watching Me – Rockwell = Creepy and danctastic! Get your booty shaking with this thrilling song that you don't want to listen to in the dark.

Monster – Lady Gaga = The ultimate costume goddess singing about things that go bump in the night. What more is there to say?

Exs and Ohs – Elle King = These haunt all of us including Elle King. Let the old ghosts and ghouls get their much needed attention with this song.

True Blood – Justin Timberlake = This man's voice is amazing. You always want to hit the floor when you hear it. He was always a star (especially with Trolls), so it seems natural that this hot man should get our blood boiling.
