I am sick and tired of subpar Halloween playlists on Spotify. The entire tracklist of The Nightmare Before Christmas should not make the cut, sure a couple of songs are must haves, but the rest should not be grandfathered in, which is why I have compiled a shortlist of my favorite Halloween songs to build your own personal playlists off of.

1.  Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett
