As the season of spookiness comes upon us, many people start planning their Halloween costumes or begin decorating their rooms with all things creepy. However, one of the best ways to embrace this season is by listening to Halloween music! Here are some of my favorite songs that are perfect for the season of skeletons, vampires, and witches. 

 1. “Thriller” by Michael Jackson

This classic song by the King of Pop is certain to get you into the Halloween spirit! 

“You try to scream 

But terror takes the sound before you make it 

You start to freeze 

As horror looks you right in the eyes 

You’re paralyzed.” 

2. “I Put a Spell on You” from Hocus Pocus

This classic Disney Halloween movie has given us one of the grooviest Halloween songs of all time! 

“I put a spell on you 

And now you’re mine 

You can’t stop the things I do 

I ain’t lyin’” 

3. “Ghostbusters” from Ghostbusters

Another popular Halloween movie that has given us undoubtedly one of the most popular Halloween jams! 

“If there’s something strange 

In your neighborhood 

Who you gonna call? 

Ghostbusters!” 

4. “This is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Another Halloween movie by Disney which has given us a song for two major holidays: Christmas and Halloween! 

“This is Halloween, this is Halloween 

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night.” 

5. “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell

The artist’s lyrics about feeling like they are being stalked match up perfectly with the creepiness of the season! 

“All I want is to be left alone 

In my average home 

But why do I always feel like 

I’m in the Twilight Zone?” 

I hope this small playlist of Halloween music helps you get into the groove of all things spooky and scary! Happy Halloween from The Gateway!
