A few weeks ago I was in a musical rut. I needed something new, but I couldn't quite put my finger on WHAT I was looking for.
And whenever I feel that way, I usually ask my friends for their favorite bands and playlists with a certain vibe. This time, I decided to ask you guys for your picks…and WOW did you deliver!
Via Instagram and Facebook, I asked for your BEST playlists for fall or autumn, anything with creepy or spooky vibes and, of course, your Halloween playlists.
The response was overwhelming. I poked through every playlist that was shared, and I’ve collected a few of my favorites in this blog post – 10 to be exact. I’ll share a link to each one, plus what I love about it.
And at the end of this post, you’ll find the playlist I created after getting inspired by all these mixes! I wanted something with a dark, spooky (but melodic) vibe, so I created my latest playlist titled “The Chilling Adventures of Autumn”. (Yup, totally inspired by that creepy AF Sabrina trailer.) This is the kind of music I’d listen to while getting lost in a creepy, foggy forest on a rainy day.
10 Spooky Playlists for Fall:
Playlist #1: Semi-Spooky Halloween Party Tunes
I love this playlist from Maria because it’s full of new-to-me songs! I’ve had a great time listening to it and pulling songs to put on my own master playlist.
Playlist #2: Spooky Ooky
Adam sent me several of his playlists, and I could have included every single one because I loved them so much. (We have very similar tastes in music.) But I included Spooky Ooky because this was the first playlist to give me the vibe I was looking for. It’s beautifully curated and a spooky ooky good listen.
Playlist #3: Halloween-ology
This is easily one of the BEST Halloween playlists I’ve run across in a long time. It includes a ton of songs we all love, plus a few surprises. It’d be perfect for any Halloween party.
Playlist #4: Fall 2018
I didn’t want only Halloween playlists, so I asked for some with fall vibes…and Makenna’s delivers on that! There’s a little bit of everything, and I could totally listen to this during a winding road trip through the fall foliage.
Playlist #5: Spooktacular Halloween Playlist
Sara’s put together another fantastic Halloween playlist that’s perfect for a party. Plus, she has “Addams Groove” by MC Hammer on here. That automatically wins at Halloween playlist life in my book.
Playlist #6: Witching Hour
Earlier this year I put together a master playlist of all my favorite songs that give me witchy vibes. It’s well over 100 songs now, and I was excited to listen to this playlist from Sara to find more tunes to add. These definitely give me that spooky feel I was craving.
Playlist #7: Vampire Masquerade Ball
Every year for Halloweenie Roast, I carefully curate a playlist of songs related to my theme…and it looks like I’m not the only one who takes that approach! Danielle shared this playlist for her Vampire Masquerade Ball, and I’m absolutely loving listening to it.
Playlist #8: Full Moon Mountain Music
Much like the Witching Hour playlist, Dylan’s Full Moon Mountain Music gives me all the spooky vibes I was hoping for. This is definitely music for an October night under the full moon.
Playlist #9: Perfect Halloween Party
Pam’s collection of songs for a Halloween party is nothing short of perfection, and clocking in at nearly eight hours…you could easily play it all night long for your own gathering!
Playlist #10: Halloween
And finally, if you don’t follow Tiffany (aka @wickedvillainess) on Instagram, you are missing out. She is the freakin’ Halloween whisperer who can find anything you’re looking for and everything unexpected. I love when she shares her latest finds, so it’s no surprise her playlist is jam-packed full of new-to-me songs I’m adding to my own playlists.
The Chilling Adventures of Autumn
When I asked for playlists, I was searching for a mood I wanted to capture with music. The world changes in fall and becomes a little darker – a transition I always love experiencing.
And I wanted music to fit that mood: screeching guitars, spooky vocals, heavy bass. Music is SUCH a mood setter for me.
(Seriously – you can tell my mood by what I’m listening to, and if it’s The Smiths non-stop? Well…it’s probably better to just walk away…)
I’m still perfecting this playlist and adding killer songs to it, but right now this is what I’m jamming to:
And just in case Spotify is not your preferred method for streaming music, here is the complete playlist so you can create it yourself:

Happy listening!

I am so exited to listen to these playlists! Just wanted to say that your blog is my favorite, and I really enjoy your IG.
I cannot wait for the The Chilling Adventures to hit Netflix! I’ve been tiding myself over with the comic and I’m not even a comic book fan.
Thanks for keeping my Halloween-loving heart happy year round!
