Werewolf Bar Mitzvah (boys becoming men, men becoming wolves.)
Shocked by the lack of bobby pickett's monster mash (Halloween pop?)
Besides the obvious ones:
- "Hell" - Streetlight Manifesto
- "Wolf Like Me" - TV on the Radio
- "Anybody Else" - Dom Fera
Also, a bunch of songs by Bear Ghost! "Haunt, The Cartoon Heart," "Necromancin Dancin," "Rivers is a Vampire," and others.
"iiiiiiiiiinnnnn the afterlife you could be heading for some serious strife"
Wait, I thought that was Squirrel Nut Zippers?
🎶now you make us sing all day, but tomorrow there'll be hell to pay 🎶
It was originally! SLM did a really sick cover of it.
Danse Macabre
Where. Is. Thriller?
But seriously props OP. Type O is a great answer. I'm going to add (other than Michael Jackson) the song When You're Evil by Voltaire.
This is Halloween, This is Halloween...everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
Is most of the lyrics I recall of the first song that comes to my mind.
Goo Goo Muck - The Cramps After Midnight - Fastway
Pet Semetary by Ramones!
I have a 108 song Halloween playlist!
Agree with the Misfits Halloween.
Some you may not have considered:
If You Were Still Around - John Cale
Vampire - Claudia Schmidt
Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd
What's he Building? - Tom Waits
Rockin' Bones - The Cramps
Zombie - Maitre Gims
Oh man, let me dig deep into history for this gem:
Switchblade Symphony - Witches
After getting the reference in NOPE, I think Purple People Eaterdeserves a place on the list.
Personally I'd add PJ Harvey's Down By The Water for sheer creepiness factor.
Dead Souls Personally I like the NIN cover from The Crow soundtrack
Any of the many versions of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? I'm partial to the Sleigh Bells version
Screaming Jay Hawkins - I put a spell on you
also
David S Pumpkins - 1 hour loop
- Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett
- Bela Lugosi’s Dead - Bauhaus
Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Bark at The Moon, Scary Little Green Men... Really any of Ozzy Osbourne'a better songs.
Kind of an inside joke at our house, but the theme to the original Blob. It is so goofy for a terrible "horror" movie. Enjoy!

If you’re a Metal fan, Halloweentown by Dark Divine is a really good song.
Do you listen to Weezer?
mojo nixon - i’m gonna dig up howlin wolf
Anything by Bear Ghost (well, maybe not the Christmas album). Some more than others but they all have a spooky Halloween feel to them.
Thank you for introducing me to this band.
Zombie Bastards - Weezer
