Somehow, Halloween music makes topics like zombies, werewolves, witches, vampires, and other macabre characters seem normal. There are many Halloween-themed tunes that you probably know, but maybe the following list has a few songs that you haven't heard.
  1. THRILLER, recorded by Michael Jackson

    International performer and superstar Michael Jackson has shaped generations of dancers and singers. News of his death was devastating to millions around the world, but his music is still being celebrated.

    "Thriller" is Michael Jackson's sixth studio album and the name of the popular single released on November 30, 1982.

    The song that opens with the lyrics, "It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark," is perfect for a Halloween song list.

    "Thriller" will always be a recognizable classic through its chorus:

    ‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
    And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
    You know it's thriller, thriller night
    You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

  2. MONSTER MASH, recorded by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

    "Monster Mash," performed by Bobby Pickett, was released in 1962. This song reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the same year.

    CHORUS

    He did the mash
    He did the monster mash
    The monster mash
    It was a graveyard smash
    He did the mash
    It caught on in a flash
    He did the mash
    He did the monster mash

  3. HALLOWEEN (FILM) SCORE, composed by John Carpenter

    The only thing more terrifying than the 1978 horror film titled Halloween is its music.

    The infamous musical score, composed by John Carpenter, tauntingly plays during many of the film's scenes. Viewers can expect that at some point during the eerie jingle that someone will be "surprised" by the psychotic serial killer, Michael Myers.

    The score contains no lyrics, but the piano melody played in 10/8 meter is one of the most powerful elements of the film.

  4. GHOSTBUSTERS (FILM) SCORE, recorded by Ray Parker Jr.

    "Ghostbusters" is the theme song to the same-named film that hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. The song even gained popularity overseas and reached the number two spot on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in the same year.

    If you get a chance to watch Ghostbusters, be sure to sing along with the following lyrics:

    INTRO

    Ghostbusters!
    If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood
    Who ya gonna call (ghostbusters)
    If it's somethin' weird and it don't look good
    Who ya gonna call (ghostbusters)

  5. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, recorded by Screamin' Jay Hawkings

    Screamin' Jay Hawkings recorded the song, "I Put a Spell on You," in 1956. Hawkings is known for being one of the first musicians to use Halloween and other macabre props on stage. His roaring performances inspired bands and singers, such as the Animals and Nina Simone, to also record the song.

    CHORUS

    I put a spell on you
    Because you're mine
    You're mine

    I love ya
    I love you, I love you
