  1. Thriller, Michael Jackson
    1. No Halloween playlist is complete without this ’80s classic. We all know the moves, so go ahead and get down to this Halloween staple.
  2. Hungry Like the Wolf, Duran Duran
    1. Another ’80s jam that’s perfect for the Halloween season. This one is for all those werewolves out there who are ready to party till the sun comes up.
  3. Heads Will Roll, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
    1. This Yeah Yeah Yeahs song is perfect for those who simply want to dance. No costume required, just turn the volume up and dance.
  4. Carousel, Melanie Martinez
    1. With the release of the new season of “American Horror Story,” this new release is sure to get your skin crawling, but still having you bobbing along to this alternative beat.
  5. Monster, Kanye West
    1. An oldie but a goodie, this Kanye collaboration is guaranteed to get you pumped for a Halloween party with your friends. Don’t feel bad if you skip straight to a certain verse, either.
  6. Disturbia, Rihanna
    1. While this song reached its peak in the early 2000s, it is still exactly what everyone needs to get ready for Halloween. Blast this one while you’re putting on your wicked costume.
  7. E.T., Katy Perry ft. Kanye West
    1. We all remember the freaky video for this one, Katy’s alien face hypnotizing watchers. Let that be the inspiration for your costume for this year’s frock.
  8. Time Warp, Rocky Horror Picture Show
    1. Another song that completes every Halloween playlist is this timeless song from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Grab some of your friends and bust a move. No one will blame you.
  9. Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson
    1. While the original version of this ’80s classic is great, Marilyn Manson’s cover is exactly what we all need for Halloween. Manson’s voice will help get you in that mood to get you freaked out this Halloween.
  10. Howlin For You, The Black Keys
    1. In stark contrast from our previous musician, this Black Keys hit is perfect for those who aren’t looking to party, but still want to jam out this 31st. Let this indie rock duo help you through the gruelling task of handing out candy all night.
  11. Cannibal, Kesha
    1. Another early 2000s hit, this Kesha single is great for just hanging around with your friends and eating all the candy you were supposed to be handing out. It’s okay, you can sing along.
  12. Halloween, Misfits
    1. This one’s for all the punk kids out there who are looking to cause some trouble this Halloween. Rock out to this one while you and your buddies are out on the town, and try not to terrorize anyone too much.
  13. Howl, Florence + the Machine
    1. I know there are some lovers that will be spending this Halloween together. This one is for you, Florence’s voice and lyrics will bring you closer together while the low beat of the song makes your skin crawl.
