Brant's Halloween Go-To's (Ghost-To's?)

How am I supposed to enjoy my evening stroll through the cemetery when people keep putting crosses everywhere?!?

Let's face it - most people want to hear their own music, especially at a party!  So for a Halloween party, I encourage you to pull together the songs you and your friends love the most.  To make it a Halloween playlist, just pepper in a few seasonal selections. Below are my favorites that I never grow tired of hearing.  Enjoy!  

1.  Freakshow on the Dance Floor (the Bar-Kays) - Nothing like some old school funk to get the party going!  

2.  Monster Mash (Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers) - A classic that will always be welcome on any playlist.

3.  Walking Through a Cemetery (Claudine Clark) - This is an obscure one, but tons of fun with a vintage 1960's doo-wop vibe.

4.  That Old Black Magic (Florence Henderson) - From the 1976 "Paul Lynde Halloween Special"!  A disco-fied version of the pop standard.

5.  Zombie Jamboree (Harry Belafonte) - Harry goes Halloween!

6.  Vampire Ska (Horny Toad) - More islandy sounds to celebrate the season, mon.

7.  Spooky (Imogen Heap) - Imogen's faithful cover of the Classics 1V song, from the "Just Like Heaven" soundtrack.

8.  Black Cat (Janet Jackson) - Technically not a Halloween song, but it'll get your party rockin'.  

9.  Stayin' Alive (Lizzo) - Lizzo breathes life into any party, especially when she covers the Bee Gees!

10.  Thriller (Micheal Jackson) - The Grammy-winning mack daddy of Halloween songs!

11.  Ghostbusters (Ray Parker Jr) - Classic song from a classic movie!

12.  Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell) - Rumor has it that Michael Jackson thought he'd be singing with a choir at the time he recorded his vocals!  It ended up only MJ and Rockwell, but it's a fun song nonetheless!

13.  Witchcraft (Sarah Vaughan) - Sarah adds a touch of class to this bewitching tune.

14.  Nemesis (Shriekback) - An 80s rarity that always livens up a party, even though the dead are coming home!

15.  This Corrosion (Sisters of Mercy) - Danceable Goth vibes celebrating all that is rotten.

16.  Gidget Goes to Hell (Suburban Lawns) - A little punk rock ditty that probably isn't a Halloween song, but the chorus works.

17.  Night Time Fantasy (Vicki Sue Robinson) - I had to include a little more disco, this being from the 1979 soundtrack to the  cult vampire classic "Nocturna"!
