Ministry - Every Day is Halloween
But I don't really think this song should be limited to just Halloween
Oingo Boingo - Dead Man’s Party
I have not read that creepy ass Mr. Sandman song here yet.
A few other recommendations:
- Igorr vs. Bong Ra - Pallbearer / Tombs (EP)
- Saint-Seans - Danse Macabrre (duh!)
- Coil - Musick to play in the dark 1 and 2, full albums 'Something' scares my 9 year
- Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl (Same 9 year old's favourite)
MC Hammer - Addams Groove. "Speaking and thinking about the Addams Family. They don't hurt anyone, they just like to have fun!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuYlLZ8Qg48
EDIT: oh yeah also The Citizens of Halloween - This Is Halloween (From Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVuToMilP0A
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
I'm shocked no one mentioned Slasher Dave. Shocked I tell ya! Slasher Dave - Cassette Tape Cackles
A bunch of classical songs that fit the mood
https://www.discogs.com/release/4333379-Various-Fright-Night
Night on bald mountain, danse macabre, toccata & fugue, etc
I think adding more soundtracks could work too, Candyman, hellraiser, etc have great instrumentals
replies:
Almost anything by Nox Arcana fits a Halloween theme.
replies:
Mannheim Steamroller - Halloween
Disc 1 has some good spooky songs
Disc 2 has spooky background sounds
I used to have a CD (when those where a thing) that just had scary noises. Perhaps you can weave some of those into your playlist?
Also, I know apple has at least one halloween playlist that I saw. I bet spotify, etc does too.

You can check out my playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1tNiQSlPCPLCRfWxGUamJs
If you want something with funny lyrics, I love all of Danny Gonzales’s Halloween songs.
Spooky Boy - 2017

KoЯn - Twist 👻
Camille Saint-Saëns- Danse Macabre

Zombie Jamboree!
There are a lot of different versions out there, the version by Jack Jeans is my favorite.
North American Halloween Prevention Initiative - Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?
Aqua - Halloween
Nightwish - Scaretale
The Castlevania soundtrack adaptations from The Megas. Or if you're in a classier mood, just classic Castlevania tracks directly.
Just put on the Digbar Halloween saga, I'm sure there won't be any complaints from parents.
