With spooky season now in full swing and Autumn getting colder by the day, everybody needs a classic Halloween playlist to help them through the -ber months.
This playlist should obviously start with the classics that we all know and love. It is impossible to go through Autumn without hearing “Monster Mash” over the speakers in a café or at a house party, and for good reason – the song encapsulates the whimsy and spookiness that we all crave at this time of the year.
On a similar note, it would be rude not to include the iconic “Thriller” in a Halloween playlist. With one of the best music videos of all time, it’s hard to go wrong with this MJ classic.
If you want to experience some prolonged musical spookiness, then look no further than the soundtracks of some Halloween favourite films. The Rocky Horror Picture Show boasts such iconic tunes as “Time Warp” and “Sweet Transvestite”, with the film also offering some comedic relief from the dreary Autumnal evenings.
The Ghostbusters films are also fan favourites, and the theme tune has cemented its place in pop-culture; an easy crowd-pleaser when curating the perfect Halloween playlist.
Along with the classics and iconic film soundtracks, students can also find a long list of songs with Halloween-themed names, which make a great addition to any Autumnal playlist.
These include songs such as “Zombie” by The Cranberries, “Highway to Hell” by ACDC, and “Season of the Witch” by Lana Del Rey.
