Some people love Christmas, and start playing Christmas carols very early in the year (there is definitely a time when playing Christmas carols is too early). Anyone who knows me knows that I love Halloween. To get myself even more excited, I made a Halloween list on Spotify (and no, I don’t just listen to it in the fall).

If you’re planning a Halloween party, or just love Halloween, a playlist of fun, spooky Halloween music is a must. Here are my must-have Halloween songs.

• “Monster Mash” -Bobby “Boris Pickett
• “Thriller” -Michael Jackson
• “Ghostbusters” -Ray Parker, Jr.
• “I Put A Spell On You” -Creedence Clearwater Revival
  • There is also a Marilyn Manson version of this that I enjoy, but it may not be for everyone
  • There is a version on Spotify from Freak On a Leash, that mirrors the version from “Hocus Pocus”
• “This is Halloween” -The Citizens of Halloween (from “The Nightmare Before Christmas)
  • There is also a Marilyn Manson version of this
• “Forever Halloween” -The Maine
• “Halloween” -Misfits
• “Halloween All Year” -The Orwells
• “Poor Jack” – Nightmare Before Christmas
  • There is also a Plain White T’s version of this song that I enjoy
• “Sally’s Song” – Nightmare Before Christmas
  • There is also an Amy Lee version of this I really like, and a Fiona Apple version
• “Burn The Witch” -The Walkmen
• “The Purple People Eater” -Sheb Wooley
• “Welcome to Mystery” -Plain White T’s
• “I Miss You” -Blink 182
