The Greatest Halloween Songs

Celebrate the year's spookiest holiday with these essential creepy cuts.

There's something about Halloween that makes people wanna party! Maybe it's the cold, autumn weather. Perhaps it's the scary decorations and costumes. Or maybe it's the massive sugar high from all the sweets and candy. Whatever the cause, an essential component to any Halloween party is the music. That's why I've created this playlist that's good enough to wake the dead.
