It is officially October and we all know what that means… Halloween! As a former emo kid and horror movie fanatic, this is a really big deal for me. I go all out for spooky season because I believe it is the best season, other than Christmas. You can catch me at all the haunted trails and Halloween stores. Once the month is over you’ll see me in the clearance section of Walmart buying all the 50% off Halloween themed goodies. I am very passionate about Halloween and in the spirit of Halloween, I thought it would be a great idea to make a spooky themed playlist to get others just as hyped for the scariest season of the year.

“Spooky Scary Skeletons” by Andrew M. Gold

We have all heard this song at some point in our lives, whether it be at a Halloween party or in a Halloween themed meme. This song is the Halloween anthem. It’s catchy, upbeat and overall really fun. 

“This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas 

As a kid, I was always captivated by Tim Burton. Nothing got me more simultaneously hyped for Christmas and Halloween than The Nightmare Before Christmas so it’s no surprise that this song made it to the list. This song makes me feel like the pumpkin king, soaking up in all things spooky.

 “Thriller” by Michael Jackson

Again, this song is also a Halloween party classic. Thriller is just a funky song that you just can’t help but dance to and the fact that it has a dance that goes along with it makes it better. The music video is a thriller within itself.
