Five Frightening tracks for your 2015 Halloween Playlist
No party can be complete without a soundtrack. This Halloween, make sure you download some of the hottest Halloween tracks, old and new, to really make your hair stand on end.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s “The Time Warp”
Seems a little outdated, maybe, but you can’t mess with the
classics. This song comes from the hit movie-musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," following the adventures of newlyweds
Brad and Janet as after they break down on the side of the road and seek the
help of a race of aliens to fix their car. While it’s not exactly what would
constitute as a banger, it’s one of those songs that you can’t really get tired
of and need to hear at least once a year. Like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For
Christmas is You.”
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”
Speaking of classics, it would be a sin not to include Michael Jackson’s hit “Thriller” to any Halloween playlist. Although the majority of people at your party probably don’t even know the dance, you can all still get down to this song because after a few beers — you’re all going to be moving like zombies anyway. He’s called the king of pop for a reason, people.
Living Tombstone’s Remix of “Spooky Scary Skeletons”
Just like how you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, don’t judge this song by its title. While it’s a remix of a Halloween song from 1996, the remix has completely cleared off the cobwebs of time from this track and attached a great bass beat to it. It’s the perfect mix for getting down and spooky on Halloween night.
TV on the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me”
While the song was produced in 2009, its fuzzy sort of guitar sounds and harmonies make it feel like it’s channeling a mix of the 1950s and early 90s grunge rock. The song’s great on its own. The music video is what really gives it that Halloween feel, following the story line of a guy who wakes up after a night of clubbing with a mysterious woman and is determined to find her again. When he meets her the next night, it turns out she’s a werewolf. Happens to the best of us, right?
Dead Man’s Bones’ “In the Room Where You Sleep”
If you’ve seen James Wan’s 2013 hit The Conjuring, you’ll probably recognize this song. Complete with organs, a children’s choir and a muffled drum beat, you definitely get that feel of being stuck in a haunted house with a really killer DJ. Funnily enough, this band is actor Ryan Gosling’s pet project and he provides not just the vocals to this song, but the electric and bass guitar. And you thought you were talented.
