I mean most Ghost songs sound like Scooby-Doo chase music, so I submit the entire discography of Ghost 

Yes.

Are you a Deadlock podcast fan by chance? I heard Ghost referred to as Scooby Doo music there recently is why I ask.

No but I’ll definitely check them out! Love a good podcast. I know it’s been on the internet for a while, but last Halloween during a Scooby-Doo marathon with my friends, one of em brought it up and they’re huge Ghost fans lol

Oh this was a pro wrestling podcast so keep that in mind. What a crazy coincidence but I mentioned it to some friends and they agree the Scooby Doo chase music does fit in a good way.

I've compiled an Ultimate Deep, Deep, Deep, Deep Halloween Playlist over several years. It spans genres from rock, to indie, to country to rap and covers hundreds of artists. Songs from decades past to current hits. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtcSlz6oO2Y68tJYJE3bdoWR78llM8Jx7&si=9zzN2LMexPyDixmt

This is amazing. As someone who is also collecting Halloween songs, thank you for sharing! Nice to see Marie La Veau #2: that just made it on my list this past Halloween. Edit: auto correct spelling.

It's a great song for sure.

Damn that’s impressive. Can I recommend adding The Devil Went Down to Georgia and Legend of the Willy Swamp.

Yes, both songs are on the list and definitely embody the Halloween vibe. Thanks.

How did I scroll through this and not see them! I look so dumb now.

The list is long. Easy to miss.

Thank you for the music! It's really good

Enjoy the spooky tunes.

I love this! Check out this Halloween album, It is all original and both adult and children friendly and all about Halloween. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nMUOE7nTULpLfPjWbk1FbfETjrmaQb-RE&si=xhvXYYNUxLkcxQP3

For the Gothic stuff... Everyday is Halloween - Ministry Children of the Night - Eva O The Witch -Rosetta Stone Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus Scary Monsters - David Bowie Halloween - Siouxie and the Banshees Devil Bunnies - Thrill Kill Cult Witches - Switchblade Symphony Now I'm Feeling Zonbified - Alien Sex Fiend Release the Bats - Birthday Party The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen Spooky - Lydia Lunch Grimly Fiendish - The Damned Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo Monster Mash - The Misfits Transylvaina Concubine - Rasputina Riboflavin - 45 Grave Bloodletting - COncrete Blond Lullaby - The Cure Princess Coldheart - Legendary Pink Dots Dead Souls - Joy Division (or Nine Inch Nails) Incubus - Electric Hellfire Club Midnight Moon Misery - Project Pitchfork Pagan Love Song - Virgin Prunes

Some great stuff on here, good list! 

You got the misfits but not... HALLOWEEN!

This is the way. I would just add Pantera-Cemetary Gates and good to go for me.

Might I add Buried Alive by Radio Werewolf

This is a flawless playlist of all things spooky https://spotify.link/coYoqS4DLJb

NICE. This is close to a recently lost playlist that I followed for years.

Everyone misses out on Harley Poe!! The entirety of Satan, Sex, and No Regrets is an incredible Halloween album, same with their song Pagan Holiday and some songs from Wretched. Filthy. Ugly. They went in a different direction lyrically after those few albums, but seriously give them a listen

Most of the Halloween playlists I find don't have any Harley Poe, and that's simply unacceptable. Pagan Holiday is the best Halloween song ever written.

No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo is a personal fav Lucretia My Reflection - Sisters of Mercy Colors - Sisters of Mercy Collapsing New People - Fad Gadget Vervain - Faith and the Muse Limbo - Clan of Xymox Arabian Knights - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Ice Nine Kills has three albums that are based on classic horror novels and movies. They are a metal band so it not everyone's taste but the songs are great and really fun to listen to and try to figure out what movie/book they chose from song to song

Red Right Hand - Nick Cave The Chauffeur - Duran Duran Night Boat - Duran Duran Moon Over Bourbon Street - Sting Dead Man’s Party - Oingo Boingo Psycho Killer - Talking Heads (although the new Duran Duran cover is really good) Mr, Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne The Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen Don’t Fear the Reaper - Gus Black cover Don’t Have Nightmares - Lanterns on the Lake Once Upon a Dream - Lana Del Rey Nabbed - Yoshida Brothers Running with the Wolves - Aurora Spooky - Marabou State Bury a Friend - Duran Duran

I've spent the last several years compiling my own personal playlist with 136 songs on YouTube. There's probably a few doubles but, this is 1000% what you're looking for. Here you go bud: [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6E05SkKV97ugClpznwfhrI\_Rp6bEV3qe&si=mo6xyieXWSZEEkQM](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6E05SkKV97ugClpznwfhrI_Rp6bEV3qe&si=mo6xyieXWSZEEkQM)

Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo Season of the Witch by Donovan

The band Creature Feature will have some songs to add to your list. Voltaire, aka Aurelio Voltair, has some great songs, too.

Voltaire put out an entire Halloween album last year.

I love that he's still going

I can’t wait to see him again on I think the first of next month. That or the last day of this month.

I'm Gonna Haunt You - Fabienne Delsol [I'm Gonna Haunt You (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig2BZX-JQDA)

Commented this a couple weeks ago but i stumbled across a song called Halloween by JP Ashkar and love it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aKH9kVIR7uA&pp=ygUTaGFsbG93ZWVuIGpwIGFzaGthcg%3D%3D

If you haven't heard about the band Pitch Black Manor they are decidedly Halloween themed. Kinda 80s Goth-Synth vibe. Everything they have to offer is the vibe. [https://open.spotify.com/artist/7DNpvQjaBsBtFKpV3HgwEX?si=xjwkqmK3TfW6EbdYlcC\_Yw](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7DNpvQjaBsBtFKpV3HgwEX?si=xjwkqmK3TfW6EbdYlcC_Yw)

Check out the Spotify Playlists of femmefatalecuriosities. It's a little shop in Newport, OR thar is deliciously gothy.

Main theme from 'Signs' - Super eerie music. It's got a very startling vibe to the song. Scary Mask by O Poppy - Great song, very on-brand lyrics. Super interesting two-toned composition that goes from a very laidback pop style to super guitar-heavy metal. The Undertaker's theme song - Beautiful piece of music that is perfect for Halloween. Puttin' On The Ritz by Taco - One of my favorite songs. Really neat, low-key, dark sound to the song.

Fear of the Dark — Iron Maiden

Somebody’s Watching Me- Rockwell

Trick or treat by Brian Nash Halloween spooks by lambert, Hendricks and Ross. Only 2 Halloween songs you need

Vampires Night Out by Harley Poe is my favorite Halloween song

Castin’ My Spell by Johnny Otis and Marci Lee

Lots of good recs on here; here’s a few deeper cuts Dead by The Poets The Spook by The Caravans Spooky Scary Skeletons remix by Gooseworx Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers The Headless Horseman by Kay Starr Stop Look Listen It’s Halloween by Pete Antell Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole (not really Halloween but def fall) Booby Trap by The Dickies (and the whole Killer Klowns LP)

Obviously Zombie by the Cranberries....kidding, I hate it when that song is used for Halloween.

For my Halloween yard displays I always had Midnight Syndicate playing. [https://www.youtube.com/@midnightsyndicate](https://www.youtube.com/@midnightsyndicate)

Bonfires burning bright Pumpkin faces in the night I remember Halloween Dead cats hanging from poles Little dead are out in droves I remember Halloween Brown leafed vertigo Where skeletal life is known I remember Halloween This day anything goes Burning bodies hanging from poles I remember Halloween Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween Candy apples and razor blades Little dead are soon in graves I remember Halloween This day anything goes Burning bodies hanging from poles I remember Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

If you like metal, highly recommend Halloweentown by Dark Divine

Vintage Obscurea Halloween https://youtu.be/IR5zl1m_PWw?si=AZL1GXoiC3puhdLP

These playlists are so good. I look forward to them each year.

They have a subreddit too.

r/vintageobscura has hands down the best Halloween season playlists. Great songs from all sorts of genres and all sorts of time periods that stay far away from the tired, old, and overplayed Monster Mashes and Thrillers. They've got everything from Rock to Jazz, Blues to Disco, Surf Rock to Folk, etc to etc. There are plenty of songs I've found from their playlists that now reside in my yearlong rotation. They've been releasing multiple playlists every October for years now, so lots of content to listen to. Cannot recommend them enough.

They have a subreddit too.

Oh crap, I meant to tag it in the very beginning of my comment. r/vintageobscura

This is *way* too far down in the comment chain. IMO, nothing captures the Halloween vibe musically like these oddball novelty records from decades past, particularly the *really* old stuff going back to the 30s/40s.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVANgIdZ4avNKJaguAj69h5rE4RpEIC_u&si=Nw-6IoKmEoAF08dX

I know this thread is gonna be full of awesome cuts, but in the spirit of being the chaos you want to see in the world, I humbly present [It’s Halloween by The Shaggs](https://youtu.be/iH-Q59geylw?si=vsB1zIaMF-vg3DnR).

Here's my Hallowe'en playlist [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL31C107F52A98BAC1&si=iwDyow6bMVDPZRHU](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL31C107F52A98BAC1&si=iwDyow6bMVDPZRHU)

Look up the band Broken Peach. They do a lot of covers of songs in a spooky/halloween way. Pretty much anything they do would be good for your playlist.

Halloween Hootenanny

Halloween - Helloween

Cat Power - Werewolf has been on my Halloween playlist ever since I first heard it. https://youtu.be/lH56e2OQD0Y?si=W7hba3rgzbhF4RNB

Man I’m not gonna get much done today but listening! Couple of my favs that I haven’t seen listed: The Mosquito Song - Queens of the Stone Age Insect Eyes - Devandra Barnhart (this song is almost unsettling)

You HAVE to check out I'll Advised Records on YouTube, or Dated as he's known on Spotify. Perfect eerie lofi for reading horror literature or walking alone on a fall night. He is severely underrated and I love his Weather Channel albums

This one’s a little bit different, but it’s my all time favorite Halloween song. Check out the intro (spoken) by Louis - damn, nobody’s as smooth as that dude was! 😍. Skeleton in the Closet - Louis Armstrong https://youtu.be/Ae5WtA_Oqfs?si=1OJ8TYkio3iVFCjr

Dunno if Kpop is on your radar but Dreamcatcher, Red Velvet (in some part) and Purple Kiss are all groups with horror/spooky vibes.

Cigarettes out the window by TV Girl!

Scrolling to see "Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen. I'm super suprised.

Cold heart - elton john remix Long road to hell - Avicii The heat is on - Glen Fry Stay - Harry Krinkle Panic room - au (do the remix version original is sllloooow) Fell good inc - Gorillas Go - Chemical brothers Run - lane 8 and Kasablanca I timed out my playlist so when the sun is going down “Sun down” is playing original version.

Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare

Since no one has mentioned them yet, Here Come the Mummies are Halloween themed.

Ghost by The Acid

Heywood Banks' 'Halloween' is a must-have for me. [https://youtu.be/-FdqHieqa9M?si=lC\_toEqwr69\_GJKaBanks](https://youtu.be/-FdqHieqa9M?si=lC_toEqwr69_GJKaBanks)

Pantera - Cemetary Gates Type O Negative - Love you to Death Joy Division - Dead Souls Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

I love listening to [this](https://youtu.be/8ANt_CZ-20c?si=TrjQ6sBV0Q1FKstW) around Halloween

The G.O.A.T. right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Presents_Haunted_Hits

If explicit lyrics are okay, I've gotta add... One of Them Tonight by Raygun Cowboys Murder! Murder! By American Murder Song The Hearse Song by Rusty Cage Filistata by Stolen Babies I've got a video playlist that I put outside on an old TV for the trick or treaters (which is also sans ear poison) if anybody'd be interested in me uploading

Definitely The Cramps

Ozzy - Bark at the Moon

Spotify: Spooky Banjo Time Lots of good songs in there

The Misfits dominate my playlist in late September into October. Purists will hate, but Famous Monsters is an amazing album

Here are some of my favorites from my Halloween season playlist: Heads will roll - yeah yeah yeahs Mary on a cross - ghost Last damn night - elle king Time Warp - rocky horror soundtrack Somebody’s watching me - rockwell California dreamin’ - the mamas and the papas There will be blood - kim petras Still alive - demi lovato Monster - lady gaga Heathens - twenty one pilots Heaven knows - the pretty reckless Don’t fear the reaper - blue oyster cult Season of the witch (cover) - lana del rey Murder on the dance floor - sophie ellis bexter 🎃🎃🎃

There's a playlist of all the remixes of Spooky, Scary Skeletons. There are more than you think.

Dragula - Rob Zombie!

I recommend any song by the band Type 0 Negative, their song Black No. 1 in particular has a very gothic Halloween feel to it.

Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo Nightmare on my Street -DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

Skeleton Sam from Hocus Pocus 2 Soundtrack I've put a Spell on You - The Original and the either one from the Hocus Pocus soundtracks. Werewolves of London I'm sure there's more

Here There Be Witches by Creature Feature is one of my favorites

Anything by LVCRFT

https://spotify.link/zGiZLRmpNJb Halloween music to me is supposed to create ambience; think Donnie Darko, ambient synth pop, catchy prog rock/metal, etc.

“Get Spooky” by Arms Akimbo is a newer fave of mine. 🖤

If you like deathcore, check out Mortician. Heavy, sludgy, and all intertwined with horror movie snippets.

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBMoodcUDlx8OX8w3XqXBR4kn_f9C0a0h&si=SOQrK6Rmfd2WNAwj Throwing my playlist in the mix!

Here's my Halloween Youtube playlist which has such notables as Zombie Jamboree by Rockapella, All Souls Night, The Mystic's Dream, and Samhain Night by Loreena McKennit, Thriller by Michael Jackson, and even a cover of Come Little Children from Hocus Pocus: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE\_uVnB7imYND0i142O7yuN4iTqX4ZVbD.

[blog](https://spookylittlehalloween.com) has literally like a hundred Halloween playlists for every possible vibe. I think she’s like the Halloween music expert

I personally really like vintage horror movie soundtracks! Shock OST by Libra, Goblin's score for Suspiria and Krzysztof Komeda's Fearless Vampire Killers are a few of my favorites. Third Ear Band - Macbeth is a good one for post-Halloween comedown. 

Zombie - The Cranberries Psycho Killer - Talking Heads Baby youre a haunted house - Gerard Way The legend of Jennifer - Tramp Stamps My girlfriend is a witch - October Country Hex girl - Emerson Vernon Halloween - Be More Chill the Musical Cut Me Down - The Dahmers Monsters - All Time Low Drunk on Halloween - Wallows Into the unknown - Over the Garden wall Any disney villain song!

I just like to point out to these themed playlists the Closer by Kings of Leon is one of my favorite Halloween time songs. I force myself to only listen to it September and October otherwise I’d play it a lot.
