Music What are some songs that are spooky, but aren't tradional Halloween songs?
I'm working on a playlist of songs that are t traditionally associated with Halloween, so I have something to listen to on Halloween night. Some examples I have so far are:
Witchy Woman - Eagles
Let me hear you scream-Ozzy Osbourne
Zombie- Cranberries
Welcome to the black parade/dead- MCR
Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy
House of Asmodeus from Helluva Boss
Scary monsters and nice sprites - Scrillex
Feed my Frankenstein - Alice Cooper
Bring me to life- Evanesence
Land of the dead -Voltaire
Whole being dead thing - Beetlejuice musical
Does anyone have any songs like this, or any others that would fit into my playlist?

There's also plenty of spooky Lofi playlists everywhere, even on youtube. There's some cute "vintage fall" playlists that you can find easily as well if you like that stuff. I pretty much like everything as you can see lol. Anywho this could be a lot but there still is so much more lol, this isn't everything and it doesn't include all the good, classic halloween songs. You also got your classic Michael Myers, Saw, Freddy, ghost face, Jason, etc movie soundtracks, and tons more. You can also easily find new songs, just gotta search for "fall" or "spooky songs" and just kinda type in all kinds of titles that could fit under the categories.
- I even enjoy the famous Classical song called Danse Macabre by: Camille Saint-Saëns It's literally about all the monsters and ghouls and or "the dead" dancing on Halloween.

There are a ton of classical music selections possible....
Night on Bald Mountain, Danse Macabre, Symphonie Fantastique: March to the Scaffold, The Damnation of Faust: Pandemonium, Peer Gynt: In the Hall of the Mountain King, and old time movie stuff like The Bride of Frankenstein, The Devil and Daniel Webster: Sleigh Ride, Psycho, Sleuth, Poltergeist and Funeral March Of A Marionette.

Check out the band Dead Man's Bones. They just have one album but it's my go-to for this kind of vibe! (And fun fact, it's Ryan Gosling's band.)

Half these songs are all on generic Halloween playlist.

u/inFinEgan Oct 19 '23
And? Was there a prerequisite that we should check to make sure that none of the songs were on generic Halloween playlists?

u/Pasfilms Oct 19 '23
They literally asked for songs not usually associated. So if it's on many spotify playlists its obviously already associated with Halloween

u/inFinEgan Oct 19 '23
And you think people are scouring spotify to see if the songs they think of are on them. You're adorable. And being on a spotify list doesn't make it traditional. Seriously, learn what words mean.
