What Halloween Party would be complete without a killer playlist? We’ve compiled a list with some of the greatest Halloween songs that are sure to put your guests in a spooky mood. Turn on these songs in between your other party tunes for an unpredictable mix, or just put this playlist on repeat.

1.       Thriller – Michael Jackson

2.       Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett

3.       Monster – The Automatic

4.       Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon

5.       I Put a Spell on You – Bette Midler [Hocus Pocus, yay!]

6.       Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Jr.

7.       Highway to Hell – AC/DC

8.       Somebody’s Watching Me – Rockwell

9.       This is Halloween – Marilyn Manson

10.   The Ballad of Sweeny Todd – Artists Vary

11.   Superstition – Stevie Wonder

12.   Witch Doctor – Ross Bagdasarian Sr./David Seville or the chipmunk version

13.   Jump in the Line – Harry Belafonte

No matter how you do it, your party will have an awesome list of songs to sing along with and bring back memories from childhood classics. No one can resist answering “Who you gonna call?” and it’s guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face. You could even have a Thriller dance-off or Werewolf walk-off thanks to MJ and Warren Zevon. Make sure everybody gets up to show off their wicked dance moves when Monster Mash comes on.

And if you don’t recognize what movies some of these are from, I suggest you turn on ABC Family right now so you can get your Halloween Movie fix. Like, now.
