You might say that I'm the ghoul with a song for everything.
I love using music to set a mood. I’m known to have Katy Perry dance parties in the morning as I get ready for work to energize myself for the day. Lately, Sunday mornings are for curling up on the loveseat in the Halloween office while reading a book, listening to coffeehouse music and sipping my favorite black magic.
And I am almost always listening to Halloween tunes when I’m working on blog projects.
A few weeks ago, I came home from work feeling like trash. After eating dinner I climbed into bed with my book, queued up this Reading Chill Out playlist and settled in for a little R&R. About 30 minutes later, a thought occurred to me.
I need a Halloween and chill playlist.
Now, let me be clear: I fully understand what that phrase actually means. And hey, if you want to use this playlist for that…go for it. 🎃
But I’m taking that phrase at its literal meaning: Halloween tunes you can turn on when you need a chill moment.
This particular playlist is loaded up with the quieter Halloween songs I love, including a few killer covers of Halloween classics. It’s definitely a mood setter perfect for a stormy fall night or maybe even a walk through the graveyard under the October full moon.

Hey Miranda,
I love listening to The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack (I’m a sucker for Danny Elfman), Nancy Nightmare and The Wizard (Especially 31 days of Halloween when I need a gentle eeriness), and Voltaire is one of my guilty pleasures since he has a song for EVERY mood. Whether you need a song for getting pumped up for work, relaxing by baking or doing laundry, or just feeling generally spooky, I would say When You’re Evil or The Night are my usual go-to’s.
For a bit of added fun, Rock Lobster by the B-52’s reminds me VERY much of that Halloween Beach Party playlist you put out on the blog a while back.
Thanks for the awesome new playlist!

Oh man, I need more Voltaire on my playlists. He is FANTASTIC, and I love his YouTube channel. <3
Thanks for the kind words on my playlists, Kristen. Happy listening!

Hello Miranda!
My favorite spooky music is from The Queen of the Damned soundtrack! I love that movie and music! I never get tired of it! I can listen to it all the time!!
Oh and BTW just now installed Spotify!! Just for this playlist. But I honestly think I’ll like it a lot better than Pandora!
You have more Halloween playlist on here right?
