11 Secretly Spooky Halloween Songs
Hallam

It's that time of the year again! Jack-o-lanterns, black cats and spooky ghosts. October is upon us, and there's nothing like some spooky jams to get you into the Halloween spirit. Not everyone loves this holiday, and I've annoyed my fair share of roommates and family members with The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. In order to bring a more secretive spookiness to my playlist, I opt for songs that aren't overtly about Halloween, but still satisfy my eerie song cravings. If eleven songs isn't enough, click here for even more creepy tunes!

1. Creep by Radiohead

Because at the end of the day, we are all creepy in our own way.

2. Cannibal by Kesha

The only pop song I've ever heard that references Jeffery Dahmer. Definitely not good for a kid's Halloween party.

3. I Want Candy by the Strangeloves

One of the goals of Halloween night: get lots of sugary sweets!

4. Demons by Imagine Dragons

What's scarier than facing off with Satan's evil spawn? Actually facing your inner demons. I'd rather fight the former.

5. Black Widow by Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora

It isn't Halloween if there aren't a couple of creepy crawlies skulking around.

6. The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Primus

Who taught Satan to play the fiddle? The world may never know.

7. Black Magic by Little Mix

Bubblegum pop with a witchy twist!


8. Midnight City by M83

Technically the witching hour is between 3 and 4 AM, but midnight will do for those of us who like going to bed at a decent hour.

9. Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran

Exactly how hungry are wolves?

10. Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

A vampire's worst nightmare: bad blood.

11. My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy

Nothing escapes the all seeing eye of Fall Out Boy.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
