What’s the best playlist for an October Halloween costume party this year?

In October, we embrace our dark sides and indulge our tastes for the wild, spooky and weird. Putting out centerpieces and mantle decorations with lumpy and bumpy gourds? Definitely strange.

Yelling at the TV, trying to control the outcome of the football game? So supernatural. And somehow, the oven is always turned on with an apple pie or pumpkin bread baking inside. Eerie!

As you’re shaking that cinnamon spice into the batter or sewing the finishing touches on a Halloween costume, take a listen to our spooky October playlist. And maybe pour yourself a mocktail or a boozy glass of something or other to get you in the mood.

Witches, voodoo and werewolves go bump in the night in our compilation of Classic Rock songs, key element of our Halloween party playlist.

Mysterious moons, strangers and sinful themes creep into the New Wave and R&B selections. It’s all designed to get you in a wickedly fun mood.

There are some iconic Halloween classics here (we’re looking at you, Thriller). And some ear-worms that get under your skin and just won’t leave, whether you want them to or not (yep, that would be you, Witchy Woman). Personally, call us crazy, but we love us some Fleetwood Mac, and Gypsy is a song we can listen to on endless repeat. Especially in October.
