It's spooky season! That means its the perfect time for Halloween music. This playlist offers a great mix between classic Halloween and new age Halloween! Whether you want to do the Mash, or the Time Warp, this playlist is for you! Find these songs, plus many more here, on Spotify!

1. Thriller- Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's Thriller is the forever most loved Halloween song. Just the intro is creepy enough to make any Halloween party a lil' creepier!

2. Disturbia- Rihanna

Rihanna's Disturbia is also a loved Halloween favorite. It may not be a classic, but it'll for sure add a great component to your playlist.

3. I Put a Spell on You- Screamin' Jay Hawkins

This 1956 classic is a major driving force behind Halloween culture! Wanna try to seduce your crush? Put this song on and let him get lost in the craziness that is music.

4. Little Red Riding Hood- Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs

Little Red Riding Hood is a classic contributor to 1960's Halloween culture. Sam the Sham adds a deep-voiced, catchy tune to any Halloween party.

5. Purple People Eater- Sheb Wooley

I grew up on this song, I'll be surprised if you haven't heard this funny, sing-along song!

6. Twisted Nerve- American Horror Story

This is a mix between Chill Bill and an American Horror Story original, If you haven't watched American Horror Story's Murder House, I suggest you get on it.

7. Come Little Children- Hocus Pocus

A classic, 'nuff said.

8. Monster Mash- Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers

No matter how old you are, you are going to dance and sing to Monster Mash!

9. Witch Doctor- David Seville

Also sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks, if you can't get down to this jam, you're not into Halloween!

10. Spooky, Scary, Skelatons- Andrew Gold

You may be asking, "Isn't this song from a meme?" Yes, yes it is.

11. This is Halloween- The Citizens of Halloween

Is there any other song that puts you into the spooky spirit of Halloween?

12. Monster- Kanye West

Monster is super upbeat and made to rap along to. For sure a must if you want to up your Halloween playlist

13. Psycho Killer- Talking Heads

"Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est

Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away"

14. Time Warp- Rocky Horror Picture Show

This may be an odd one if you've never seen Rocky Horror... BUT, this song literally tells you how to do the dance. So put your hands on your hips, bring your knees in tight, and do a pelvic thrust!

15. Ghostbusters- Ray Parker Jr.

Isn't Halloween the season of ghosts anyway?

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?

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?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
