For years, Halloween playlists have been dominated by such classics as the “Monster Mash” or “Thriller.” While no one can dispute their genuine spookiness, the time of these songs is over – it’s time to give some younger songs their time in the spotlight this Halloween. Here is a definitive guide to the best modern Halloween music to listen to this season:

1. “Turn Off The Light” by Kim Petras ft. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

2. “Modern Day Frankenstein” by Lucy Spraggan

3. “Broken Bones” by Kaleo

4. “Which Witch” by Florence + The Machine

5. “Burn the Witch” by Radiohead

6. “Dead Man’s Hand” by Lord Huron

7. “Fangs” by Night Riots

8. “Bones” by MS MR

9. “Control” by Halsey

10. “Darkside” by Alan Walker ft. Au/Ra and Tomine Harket

Now go out and have an amazingly creepy Halloween!
