If you love this year's Halloween playlist, you can tell Andrew from Your Best Halloween Ever thank you.
He is the music lover behind their blog’s playlists, and late this summer I got stuck on one in particular that he let me preview: Monsters. It was FULL of songs I would define as my sound for Halloween: a little kitschy when it comes to the lyrics and serious 60s pop/rock vibes when it comes to the melodies. I listened to it so much that I even got a little burnt out…so I decided to use the radio function on Spotify to listen to similar songs.
And that’s how this playlist began. I loved song after song that played, so I started dropping them into a collection and 100+ songs later…I decided I’d created the perfect Halloween playlist for 2020.
Because this year, of all years, who doesn’t want the comfort of their favorite songs to carry them through their favorite holiday?
I hope you enjoy this one while you’re decorating your home, baking some Halloween treats or having Halloween game night with your family!

Hey Miranda,
I’m so happy I saw this post before I head out on my annual trip to WI! (The drive is a long one for me but its worth it to see the colors of the trees out there, they are incredibly vibrant) This playlist will be PERFECT for the drive!
As for my favorite Halloween song, Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo always gets my feet tapping! Black Magic by Magic Wands is a very close second; thanks to you for putting them in your Halloween Workout Playlist! I can’t get enough!!!

Too funny – I’m currently in Wisconsin to enjoy the fall color at my parents’ place! Hope this makes the drive go a little faster. :)

Hi Miranda,
We’ve been getting a lot of comments lately on our track “Apocalypse Noir” that it sounds like Halloween so I searched out Halloween playlists which led me to your site. We write dark hip-hop songs and this one was written in the midst of the Coronavirus lock-down. Maybe it will help you save Halloween this year…

Wonderful site! One of my favorite Halloween songs (for kids of all ages) is my retro rock song “Spiderwebs In My Hair!” Very fun with a lot of references to iconic Halloween things (witches, ghosts, vampires, etc.) and some classic scary movies (the Blob, Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Mummy etc. Great sax solo too! https://open.spotify.com/track/46eLk78Q5faqWEno02Fdkg?si=d440160213584f62
