10 Classic Songs You Need On Your Halloween Playlist

What's a better way to get into the fall spirit (no pun intended) than listening to some spooky songs? Nothing, is the correct answer.

Throughout the years, Halloween songs have gotten more and more popular, and I am loving it. Whether you need to make a playlist for your annual Halloween party, or simply want to get in the Halloween spirit all month, here are 10 songs you absolutely NEED on your Halloween playlist.

Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell

Spooky vibes and easy to jam to.

Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This song is the Cha Cha Slide of Halloween.

Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett

If you play this song, I promise it will be a graveyard smash.

This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas is basically the anthem of Halloween. Most of the songs from this movie should be on your playlist including "Jack's Lament," "Oggie Boogie's Song," and others.

The entire "Turn Off The Light" album by Kim Petras

An entire Halloween album? Yes please! This album pretty much does most of the work for you. Some of my absolute favorites include "There Will Be Blood," "Close Your Eyes," and "Massacre."

I Put a Spell on You from Hocus Pocus

Though the original version is great too, the classic version of this song as sang by the Sanderson Sisters in "Hocus Pocus" is iconic and needs to be on your playlist this Halloween.

Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish

One of Billie's newest singles, Bury a Friend is another iconic, spooky pop song that deserves a spot on your playlist.

Disturbia by Rhianna

The original spooky pop song. It's not a Halloween playlist without this song.

Spooky Scary Skeletons by Andrew Gold

I'm not sure how it got popular, but this song, or any remix of it, needs to be on your Halloween playlist.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Duh.

Though there are plenty of other spooky songs from Disney classics to popular rock songs, these 10 should always be your go-to's for your Halloween playlist. If you're too lazy to actually put one together though, you can find all of these plus many more on my Spooky Scary Halloween Playlist.

Have a Happy Halloween and enjoy these tunes all month long!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

George Mason University

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
