The Halloween Covers Playlist

?>

I've been doing a bit of digital spring cleaning around the blog lately and discovered...I have a playlist of Halloween covers I started in 2019 I never shared.

Lucky you, that changes today! There are a lot of classic Halloween songs (like these or these) out there, but if you’re tired of listening to them like I was…this is the perfect playlist for familiar favorites with a twist.

Let’s get to listening!

 

The Halloween Covers Playlist

 

 

If Spotify is not your preferred method for streaming music, here is the complete playlist so you can create it yourself:

 

 

Halloween Covers – Original Artists

Curious who the original artists of these covers are? I’ve got the list below (because this is something I would totally Google if I ran across this playlist):

  1. Ain’t No Grave – Bozie Sturdivant (but you likely know the Johnny Cash version)
  2. Anything Can Happen on Halloween – Tim Curry
  3. Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival
  4. Boris the Spider – The Who
  5. Dead Man’s Party – Oingo Boingo
  6. Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
  7. Every Day is Halloween – Ministry
  8. Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Jr.
  9. Harvest Moon – Neil Young
  10. The Hearse Song – Unknown (but you likely know the Harley Poe version)
  11. House of the Rising Sun – The Animals
  12. I Put a Spell on You – Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
  13. The Killing Moon – Echo & The Bunnymen
  14. Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett
  15. My Body’s a Zombie for You – Dead Man’s Bones
  16. Pet Sematary – The Ramones
  17. Red Right Hand – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  18. Season of the Witch – Donovan
  19. Spooky – Classic IV
  20. Superstition – Stevie Wonder

  22. Thriller – Michael Jackson
  23. Time Warp – Rocky Horror Picture Show Cast
  24. Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon

    This is such a cool idea for a playlist (and post). Thank you very much for sharing. I just pinned the graphic and look forward to adding some of these covers both to my actual Halloween playlist, as well as my everyday song rotation.
