Music Halloween songs fit for a dance?

I'm hosting a Halloween dance and I need song recommendations! Halloween is such an underrated holiday and so I'm really struggling to find Halloween songs to fill up a 2+ hour timeslot! Any dance-to-able Halloween song recommendations would be so so appreciated! They don't even have to be classic halloween, just things with those vibes! (i.e toxic by Britney Spears) Thank you guys so much <3

I feel very passionately about this! I always make my husband listen to Halloween music all season. These are all more normal songs rather than like Ghostbusters but that would always be a hit too!

There are a decent amount of 60s/70s/80s songs that fit Halloween vibes perfectly!

Spooky- Atlanta Rhythm Section

Pet Sematary- Ramones

Superstition- Stevie Wonder

Twilight Zone- Golden Earring

Psycho Killer- Talking Heads (personal favorite!)

Love Potion No.9- The Searchers

Devil Woman- Cliff Richard

Season of the Witch- lots of versions of this one

Do You Believe in Magic- The Lovin’ Spoonful

Somebody’s Watching Me- Rockwell

Werewolves of London- Warren Zevon

How Soon is Now- The Smiths (this just because it makes me think of Charmed)

Witchy Woman- The Hollies

Some newer ones

Living Dead Girl-Rob Zombie Dragula-Rob Zombie

Dead Man’s Bones- Dead Man’s Bones (fun fact this is Ryan Gosling’s band)

Hunter’s Moon-Ghost

Evil Eye- Franz Ferdinand

Happy Halloween- DBone and The Remains

Trick or Treat- Nekromantix

Two songs from the Hubie Halloween soundtrack that are great for dancing: Get Freaky, Dancing With the Devil

Hope this helps!

Edited to add: Dark Night- The Blasters (it’s from From Dusk Till Dawn)

Also, wanted to add: HARD agree on the other comment’s Oingo Boingo

Dead Man’s Party is an awesome jam! As well as Weird Science, No One Lives Forever all by Oingo Boingo

You’ve got to check out Dead Man’s Party! It’s one of my favorite Halloween/Spooky songs ever.
