I always start planning my Halloween party early. I have to say it can be hard to get into the late October mindset when it is still warm. So I dug out my Halloween Party Playlist and lit a pumpkin spice candle to get the fall ideas flowing.
The following songs are perfect for your next Halloween Party. It is a great mix of songs, everyone knows them (or they should) and they all fit the spooky, scary, evil, devil’s night theme of Halloween.
25 Fantastic Songs to play at a Halloween Party:
- Thriller – Michael Jackson
- Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
- Superstition – Stevie Wonder
- Love Potion #9 – The Clovers
- Witchy Woman – The Eagles
- Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival
- The Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show
- I Put a Spell on You - Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
- The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels
- Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra
- Lil’ Red Riding Hood – Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
- Hungry Like the Wolf – Duran Duran
- Monster Mash - Bobby Boris Pickett
- Purple People Eater – Sheb Wooley
- Dead Man’s Party – Oingo Boingo
- It’s the End of the World As We Know It – R.E.M

If you’re looking for a great spooky sounds CD for background music, I highly recommend the Martha Stewart Spooky Scary Sounds for Halloween … I play it in my front yard as we pass out candy. It is realistic and not at all cheesy, like other “Halloween Sounds” CD compellations I have heard.
Or, if you are looking for music that is more elegant (but still spooky) try this list of Scary Classical Music for Halloween.

The Mannheim Steamroller Halloween CDs make nice background music during Halloween. Mannheim Steamroller is mostly known for their Christmas music but their Halloween music is enjoyable as well.

I suggest “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath, “Everyday is Halloween” by Ministry, “Number of the Beast” by Iron Maiden and “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon.
