31 Halloween Songs You’ve Never Heard

?>

"How do you find all these Halloween songs?" It's a question I get asked a lot, and I don't have a great answer for it.

Some of it is being a music lover. Some of it is wandering Spotify for new bands and songs. And some of it is just luck.

Over the years, I’ve created 40+ Halloween playlists for you guys, and while there are some songs that repeat playlist to playlist…no two are the same.

I try to avoid overusing those tunes we all know: “Monster Mash”, “This is Halloween, and “Thriller”. Partly because…those are for Halloween tourists and partly because there are SO many more songs out there to discover!

So I started gathering some of my faves on a playlist, and today I’m sharing that with you. These are 31 (of course!) of my favorite lesser-known spooky tunes for October. Yes, you’ll find one or two you might know…but I’m betting you haven’t heard the version I included. (Or maybe heard it in a while.)

I hope you enjoy this and find a new song to add into your annual Halloween playlist!

 

31 Halloween Songs You’ve Never Heard

 

Personal faves:

  • Monster Mashup” by Pomplamoose and Tessa Violet – SO many fun songs in there!
  • Halloween Birthdaze” by New Beat Fund – I love using this on Instagram to celebrate other Halloween lovers’ birthday
  • Sam” by The Long Losts – the opening sound alone is worth the listen
  • Transylvania Twist” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers – did you know this was actually a song, not just a lyric?
  • Ten Thirty One” by The Ghost In You – written by a Halloween lover in our own community!

 

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

    What a fun list! The entire Monster Mash album is full of ridiculous fun. I grew up with the songs on that album & have it downloaded to use. “Scully Gully” & “Wolfbane” have been two of my faves for so many years, but the whole album is so much fun.

    Always love finding new (to me) songs for the season….or all year. Thank you, as always!

      Agreed on that album! It’s a shame most people probably stop at the song they know.

      So glad you enjoyed this playlist, Erica. Thanks for taking the time to share this!

    Fantastic selection! Halloween Birthdaze is going to be a new annual tradition for me (not to mention for my friends and relatives with October birthdays).
