101 Halloween Party Songs
Halloween parties can be the most enjoyable get-togethers that you can have. Costumes, odd looking food, creepy decorations, and good Halloween themed music make up a fun party. What is good Halloween music though? Is it themes from various scary movies or is it music from well-known bands that happen to fall into the Halloween genre? It just so happens that both categories can be put on a CD or play list and you will have an excellent Halloween party. The following songs are the top 101 song’s that you should have playing at your Halloween party.
I compiled this list from songs that are on our playlists at home and from suggestions from friends. A lot of these songs are ones that we play during our Halloween party each year. So when it’s time for Halloween (or anytime really) and you want to have some fun, throw a party and enjoy some great music.
