So…you already have spooky lights, cobwebs and a bomb costume all ready for your Halloweekend (who says you can’t start prepping, like, three months out?!). But what about that playlist? No offense to the Swifties in the room, but “Cardigan” 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 99 (!!!) scary, ooky spooky Halloween songs to stream all night long. There are classics (“Ghostbusters,” by Ray Parker Jr.), newer hits (Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary”), and, of course, a few iconic theme songs to set the perfect ~terrifying mood~. Now go forth and do the monster mash.
