Halloween Tracks

These tunes will add spine-tingling ambiance to your spooky soiree.

As we approach Halloween, you’ll want to get all of your ducks in a row to make this spooky season the best yet. Planning a costume party? In addition to coming up with a top-notch costume idea and decking your halls with spooky decorations, you’ll need a playlist packed with the best Halloween songs.

Of course, you’ll want to include some oldies but goodies like “Thriller” and “Monster Mash,” but try to think out of the box as well. You can always include tracks that weren’t necessarily written with October 31 in mind but exude haunting melodies or bring up horror-movie nostalgia. You might be surprised by how well they blend in with some of the tried-and-true classics.
