Halloween music is a very specific brand of sound. From what I’ve found, there are three general categories of widely-used Halloween songs: classic rock songs with minor chords and Halloween-adjacent lyrics, gothic rock songs that use monsters as props and metaphors, and, most rarely, songs that were actually intended as Halloween songs. There isn’t as much of a market in the music industry for Halloween as there is for Christmas, but the songs are there - hidden gems with minor synth riffs and the occasional scream, just for fun. With this list, I tried to stick to the most palatable, with artists or songs that are recognizable, but there’s plenty more if you want to branch out into other things (the children’s songs, the heavy metal, the songs that they sang during Halloween episodes of “Glee,” etc.). So whether you’ll be spending this Halloween watching movies, carving pumpkins or dreaming of the dance floor, here are 13 Halloween songs to listen to this week to get yourself in the spirit. This song is the kind of big hair ’80s rock that I can get behind, with lyrics fit for a haunted mansion party and a beat fit for a dance floor.
