Halloween is such a fun time of year, but sometimes the music selection is a little limited. With the help of my dad, I’ve compiled some jazzy Halloween songs for all of your spooky listening sessions. These songs are perfect for a fancy Halloween party. This playlist features so many classic singers like Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald performing Halloween songs you’ve probably never heard before.Â
