Halloween isn’t just for children. That’s why whenever scary season rolls around, you need a music playlist that keeps everyone in mind — from the kids who love the latest ghoulish Disney Channel Original Movie musical to those who got down to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” when it first came out in the ’80s.
That’s also why you have to get creative when it comes to the spooky songs you choose for your Allhallows’ Eve playlists. If you only include songs that are explicitly Halloween-themed, like “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers or “This Is Halloween” from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the tunes could get stale real quick. So remember to work in music that has Halloween vibes, too.
Jimin’s “Filter” may not strike you as a Halloween song at first but with lyrics like, “I can be your genie / How about Aladdin? / I’ll be anything / You can pick and choose me,” it’s all about wearing different faces depending on who you’re trying to please — just like wearing a different costume every Halloween. And while Sam Smith and Kim Petras’s “Unholy” isn’t explicitly spooky, its title and gothic background vocals make it perfect for any Halloween bash.
Ahead, check out POPSUGAR’s ultimate Halloween playlist for 2023.
