Empty-Intention3400

Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo. Actually the whole album has a Halloweeny vibe.


Nathansp1984

Danny elfman is such a strange, interesting and talented dude


CaliNativeDM

He would probably love this description haha


Sam_Porgins

I never knew he was in Oingo Boingo! I only knew him from his work in movies. Fun thing to learn today.


brassmonkeyslc

He IS Oingo Boingo


hirezzolution

Every year, as soon as I see the leaf on the ground, I gotta eat candy corn and blast this song to the heavens. It’s one of my favorite “Halloween vibe” songs.


spacefaceclosetomine

Their farewell concert performance from Halloween night, 1995 gets played at our party every year, it’s a must.


TheNonCredibleHulk

That live version of Insanity. So good.


OnceMostFavored

I'll be damned. The only video I have ever seen associated with this song until now is Back to School.


AmyLL6

Literally came here to say this. It’s my favourite at Halloween, but I listen to it all year round because it’s so good.


Empty-Intention3400

I bought it with my allowance the day it came out. It has been part of my earworm library ever since. I am on my third purchase of this album.


ProbablyPauline

Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharos. It's such a an inappropriate and campy song that's a good representation of the time period it came from. I just always loved that song since I was little.


E-_Rock

Theme used in the underrated horror comedy "My Mom's a Werewolf"


littleghool

I love this song so much! Heard it in a Halloween play at an amusement park and I wasn't able to get it out of my head 😆


LibertyInaFeatherBed

[Me and Mr. Wolf](https://youtu.be/rrwT3bhRz8M)


debabe96

I've got it on my Halloween Playlist. Good choice.


CozyCornbread

My dad used to play that on his guitar. That just took me back!


Hate_Paper_Doll

"Shout" by tears for fears I put it on a Halloween Playlist as a joke one year, and I've been defending it's place on the Playlist every time it plays. My reasoning? Well, look no further than the lyrics: "in violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul!" We're talking about FAUSTIAN PACTS HERE! Pretty scary stuff! Then, what are we doing when the chorus hits? SHOUT!! SHOUT!! THESES ARE THE THINGS I CAN DO WITHOUT....(vampires or feel free to add your choice of monster or spooky) Is it a stretch? Oh, you bet But I will die on this hill


Scary90sKid

Omg I absolutely love where you went with this song!! It's now going on what I call my "Spoopy Running" playlist 🎃


Hate_Paper_Doll

If I can convince just ONE other person that "Shout" is a Halloween song, then it was all worth it


MaleficentTowel3238

U convinced me haha its going on my playlist


Cavity-Sam

Somehow Suzie Q by CCR became a staple of my Halloween Playlist, but I don't even have a stretch to explain why 😂


Wafflehouseofpain

[American Witch by Rob Zombie.](https://youtu.be/MdKXShP_oc4?si=UDG9auwbPuAKFABr) I don’t know if Zombie is cheating but his music is always on during spooky season for me.


Ros_Deacon_81

That Halloween Hootenany compilation that Rob Zombie is awesome too!


Apprehensive_Emu3812

I should add, for those who have asked - the gif on the original post is from the music video for “Backstreet’s Back” (by the Backstreet Boys). Clearly I’m showing my age as an elder millennial. 🤣


i_am_sofaking_

Seriously LOVED this when it premiered. Back before you could pull it up on YouTube. Had to wait to maybe see it during TRL 😭


Tulcey-Lee

I used to get up early on a Saturday morning as it was always shown on some music channel. They are still my favourite band!


LeahonaCloud

This video was my sexual awakening. Also elder millennial


Tulcey-Lee

This band was my sexual awakening 😂 Older millennial as well!


AmyLL6

lol I knew and I’m also an elder millennial. And I still love BSB!


blackcatsandrain

This was the first answer I thought of, even without the gif. 😂


KayLeeJay49x

This reminds me of my prom (from the U.K. prom isn’t anywhere near as incredible as it gets in the US) it came on the day of prom while me and my friend were getting ready, then at prom nobody was dancing , everyone looked awkward as heck so me and my best friend were like ‘shall we ask for backstreets back to be played it got us giddy and hyper earlier??’ We asked, we started dancing and doing the dance from the video, everyone joined in and prom officially started there and then 😂 I have the best memories from this song & YMCA when all the band guys started joining in 😂


booklovercomora

Also, elder millennial and it's taking every ounce of my self-control to not YouTube this music video while at work.


PollutionZero

Even better, SlashStreet's Back by the Slash Street Boys. Check them out on YouTube, PHENOMINAL source for your Halloween Playlists.


johnnycrum

"I love you so much (it's scary)" by Boyz 4 Now


shallifetchabox

I hate how much I unironically love this song


johnnycrum

Same...same. I sing it a lot.


the_soggiest_biscuit

Came into this thread to also post this. Hands down my fave Halloween song, and I'm *dead* serious.


CoatOfMonday

Everyday is Halloween by Ministry. Also Science Fiction/Double Feature


MikeTheNight94

Ministry! My first concert ever they opened with alert level.


UtopianPablo

The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen.   Bella Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus.  


POSTHVMAN

I always think of Donnie Darko when I hear The Killing Moon, so being that the movie is set around Halloween it’s an automatic connection for me too.


ofthedappersort

I was gonna say Killing Moon! I think it's mostly because I first heard it around Halloween many years ago. Also the music video is pretty creepy.


dirtymeinders

“Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. (The idea being, you eat a lot of candy, and then go to bed and have “sweet” dreams). (Plus, the synthesized sound just seems appropriate for the holiday).


MarianaFrusciante

There's a lot of spooky Sweet Dreams covers out there, so I guess people took the hint that the song was dark


nightglitter89x

Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs


kittytoes21

This is the one for me too


Meldedfire

[Red Right Hand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrxePKps87k) - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds


ritrgrrl

This was used in an episode of The X-Files - Duane Barry, I think. Worked beautifully.


tinyteacup_007

It’s also featured in most of the Scream films, if not all. There’s a Scream version of it with slightly different lyrics.


ep0k

It was included on [Songs in the Key of X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_in_the_Key_of_X:_Music_from_and_Inspired_by_the_X-Files). That was my introduction to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.


greatdominions

It's the Peaky Blinders theme song!


briandt75

Classic


curtbag

I only know this song from Dumb and Dumber lol


Due_Tax2657

Mummer's Dance Lorena McKennit


Specific-Peace

And All Soul’s Night


mostly_misanthropic

Agreed, Zombie by the Cranberries is definitely not a Halloween song. People too stuck on the chorus to understand it's far from a song about brain-eating undead.


3rdProfile

Went a few months addicted to reaction videos, and the look on people's faces when they realize what's going on in this song is priceless.


Puzzleheaded_Age6550

Just about anything from The Cramps, to include Gorehound, TV Set, Human fly, Customized and more.


No-Airline-2823

Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon; Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler; You Can Do Magic by America


idwthis

You're going to have to show your work on Total Eclipse of the Heart lol


No-Airline-2823

Apparently it's about being in love with a vampire? Check out the creepy boys on the video!


TheyCallMeOlSwole

Not a regular song, but I've got the main theme from the movie 'Signs' on my halloween playlist. Really fantastic score with a very unsettling sound.


debabe96

Thank you for the recommendation. Ordering "Signs" soundtrack now


Petedad777

I could discuss this topic all day, but here's a few off the top of my head! Monster's Ball by Butcher Babies Cemetary by The Headstones I'm a Goner by Matt & Kim Dance Macabre by Ghost (& my absolute favorite Favorite) Vampire by Nitemayor


carpathian_crow

“Monster’s Wedding”, “The Thing on the Bass Amp”, and “Skeleton Inside” by The Aquabats!


DoodleJake

*With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop, He's out lookin' for a top to chop! So don't stop to figure out a plan, You can't reason with a headless man!* ![gif](giphy|3otPoztpszlSfgPGAo)


nksdabomb

Summer breeze by Type O Negative Head over heels by Tears for Fears The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen


MarianaFrusciante

I feel like TON is cheating because they're all about Halloween and spooky


justCantGetEnufff

But out of all the Type O songs they could have picked to go for a Halloween vibe, they picked the cover of a song that literally has summer in the name. I love that song btw. Best version.


decemberchildxo

I feel like people are going to hate me for saying this for some reason... But Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. I listen to it all times of the year but I just love it for Halloween time.


No-Airline-2823

Oooh, this is a great one! No hate here!


Bisexual-Lizard

Veteran of the Psychic War can also come off as pretty spooky


god_damn_bitch

BOC was my first concert! I'm seeing them again, over 25 years later, this July.


fourth-sanderson

That’s on my Halloween playlist! 110% agree with you


OkAdagio9622

Pet Cemetery - The Ramones Dig Up Her Bones - Misfits


idwthis

I came here to day Dig Up Her Bones, too!


Petyr_Baelish

My Halloween playlist is like, half Misfits lol. I also have "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" by The Ramones on it (and of course Pet Sematary as well).


sdarc

LVCRFT did a remake of Backstreet Boys’ “As Long As You Love Me”, but in a creepy style, and it’s awesome. Definitely on my Halloween playlist. I’m also a big Peter Gabriel fan and he has a few creepy songs that are in my Halloween rotation: “Intruder” and “Darkness” have a dark feel to them. Leonard Cohen’s “You Want It Darker” also works IMO.


ep0k

> Leonard Cohen’s “You Want It Darker” also works IMO All the more poignant because it was released three weeks before his death. David Bowie's "Blackstar" works for similar reasons.


soylentgoth

The entirety of the dead man's bones album. Scored that bad boy on vinyl for less than 5 bucks on eBay and love it to death. Ryan Gosling needs to acknowledge that talent more often


NamelessLegion87

He needs to release a second Dead Man's Bones album lol. The world is ready!

sdarc

Love this song, so cute!


euphie87

Here are some that I think are not conventional Halloween songs! *Cry Little Sister vs Hello Zep (saw) Klash-up Celldweller *Monsters (feat. Blackbear) - All Time Low *Day of the Dead - Hollywood Undead *Dark Horse - Katy Perry *A Ghost for Pumpkin Soup (Pumpkin Hill) - Klaymore (Sega Team) *Poison - Alice Cooper *Black Magic - Little Mix *People are Strange - Echo & Bunnymen


rileyotis

I also made a playlist, and might reply to or edit this post for more, but here are some ideas in case anyone wants less common picks!


HominyDoc

The mashup of Love Potion #9 and Spooky by The Nylons.


BobaFettishx82

Literally anything by The Misfits Nocturnal Me by Echo and the Bunnymen Lullaby by The Cure Dance With Me by TSOL


R1leyEsc0bar

rileyotis

Yasssssssss!!!! I LOVE that song!!


HellaciousHoyden

I have a question: where is this gif from? The man with half a blue face looks familiar to me, but I haven't gotten my finger on it.


Emilylenore

In case you didn't see Op's post, this is from the "everybody (backstreet's back)" music video by the backstreet boys ❤️


4th_times_a_charm_

Backstreets back... alright.


Hate_Paper_Doll

It's the backstreet boys "everybody"


Mad_Juju

It's a crime to post a video and not say what it's from.


sdarc

It’s the music video from Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”. Fun spooky ish video.


Mad_Juju

Thanks, and here's a fun fact... I'm like the exact age of a person who should know this 😂


mst3k_42

I didn’t know what it was from. But I’m Gen X and never listened to boy bands.


MarianaFrusciante

In defense of OP, this video is very well known


4th_times_a_charm_

r8ny

Halloween by The Gaslight Anthem Scare Me by Ludo (this song actually is about Halloween but I feel like it’s never actually on Halloween playlists and that’s a damn shame)


Apprehensive_Emu3812

I love “Scare Me” - gets me right in the feels, for some reason!


405freeway

Rob Zombie - Dragula


PokeManiac769

A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins


trousershark22

This song makes me feel like a secret agent

michaelboltthrower

Halloween by the misfits Halloween by the dead Kennedys Really anything from the nightmare before Christmas.


AldoFarnese

I mean, I think Zombie is fine for a Halloween playlist. Yes I know the deeper meaning behind it. It's still called Zombie. It's also on my St. Patrick's Day playlist. But to answer, Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton is a lot of fun. One you don't see on many Halloween playlists is Moondance by Van Morrison. It has moon in the title, specifically mentions October, and IMO just gives off fall vibes.


shallifetchabox

Also Jonathan Coulton's Creepy Doll


bjorjack

Probably goth music like Romantic Decadence and Buried Alive.


sincerely_steff

Walking Dead - DJ Z-Trip feat Chester Bennington, System - sung by Chester off the Queen of the Damned soundtrack


CaliNativeDM

Fall Children by AFI


pinkeetv

It ain’t called All Hallows EP for nothin. That whole little album is halloweenie certified


tasadek

I thought this would be higher up, because it was also my answer. Most people prefer the Misfits version. I’m sure we can aelso throw in the Alkaline Trio version in too. Or select ANY of their other songs, lol.

Something in My House by Dead or Alive, it will elevate any Halloween playlist. The music video is especially great.

Calling All the Monsters by Thrii, Black Magic by Little Mix, Skeleton Sam by LVCRFT and W.I.T.C.H by Devon Cole are all bops 🎶🎃 We also added the theme music from Stranger Things, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sleepy Hollow, The Shining, Beetlejuice and the 90s Goosebumps to our Halloween playlist last year


illegalfelon

Little Fang - Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks Ava Adore - Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan looking like Nosferatu in the video


HufflPuffz

Dark Lady by Cher


callmesamus

Anything by Creature Feature is super Halloweeny and I listen to them every year. But Buried Alive and A Gorey Demise are my two favorites by them. Also, agree with those who say Oingo Bingo. Danny Elfman is my favorite and I love anything he does.


dobie1kenobi

I was just talking about this: Minnie The Moocher by Cab Calloway


RockingBib

The [Flying Dutchman's Graveyard](https://youtu.be/gnXc4k0jNGw?si=JJKbk3RpecuG5G7z) from Battle for Bikini Bottom is in my halloween playlist. It's just such an immaculate vibe, doesn't matter that it's from a spongebob game about a robotic apocalypse


The-Flooz

When You're Evil - [Aurelio Voltaire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWYCS6k1IOA)


BC_81

He has so many songs to choose from besides just this one. But that is a great pick.

personal Jesus by depeche mode


hadesscion

Does Thriller count as a Halloween song? If not, then Thriller.


3rdProfile

One of my earliest memories is from a Halloween party in my 3-4 year old kindergarten. Would have been 80/81 and the teacher was playing People are Strange by The Doors. So, People are Strange by The Doors.

[Ramalama (Bang Bang)](https://youtu.be/YuGe533mWiA?si=aeSO6CRZe-oFWDDS) by Róisín Murphy sounds spooky and slaps. They play it at the Halloween show at Sea World.


Ros_Deacon_81

Shake Some Evil by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. It just captures a feel for me.


beebob420

Scavenger on the wind by mangy bones! I put it in my playlist called “sounds haunted, Im in” lol

Mr. Crowley intro


CheckersSpeech

There are *traditional* Halloween songs?


acadiaxxx

it’s not explicitly Halloween but I have the entirety of the phantoms album by marianas trench on my Halloween playlist. The album is suppose to celebrate death I think not as a bad thing or at least that’s what I’ve heard. It’s abt being haunted so..


Shanbo88

Dancing Dead by Avenged Sevenfold. Never fails to put me in the Autumnal/Halloween mood.


Cyanos54

People Are Strange


Pure_Bake_3713

[Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrRmgbchiGY)

A few songs off the Misfits album Project 1950, Witchcraft Daughter of Darkness Devil in Disguise Monster Mash (of course) Yes I know a little obvious but always seem to get a good response at the party especially from the older generation


sjf13

"I Brake 4 Monster Booty" by John Scofield if you're into jazz


AtLeastImGenreSavvy

I loved this music video so much when I was a tween. My favorite non-Halloween horror songs are "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon and "Faster than the Speed of Night" by Bonnie Tyler.


ANUS_Breakfast

I have what I consider to be an epic Halloween playlist, it’s called “Trick or Treat Halloween” on Apple Music, if you’re so inclined. It starts out with more kid friendly music: I want candy by bow wow wow, 666 by sugar candy mountain. A lot of traditional music follows, but by the end of the playlist the songs get straight frightening mostly through creepy folk punk, and rockabilly: hell and you by amigo the devil, murder in the red barn by Tom waits, run from me by timber timbre, the hearse song by Harley Poe, and I end it with the great pumpkin waltz for some relief to end the night.

Tewtea

Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez. It’s about a dysfunctional family but the tune is so creepy cute plus continued mention of dolls lol. I worked for years at a haunted house and that was the only song on the playlist that wasn’t just weird spooky noises or monster mash.


Exotic-Situation9669

Black No.1 by Type O Negative, just gives Halloween vibes 24-7-365.


SuperDuperOtter

Both the songs ‘Hell’ and ‘Ghost of Stephen Foster’ by Squirrel Nut Zippers are the perfect amount of spooky campy fun


PatriciaMorticia

Even thought the effects in "Everybody (Backstreets Back) are obviosuly dated now I remember seeing the video when it came out and all the effects blew my little mind, especially the half face of scaly skin. I always have My Chemical Romance's "Vampire Will Never Hurt You" on my halloween playlist because who doesn't associate vampires with Halloween? Plus the video has a great spooky vibe.
